Sometimes pulling together your best look is a lesson in editing.
You might have beautiful built-in bookshelves but they are crammed with paperbacks from Sophomore year. You have lovely black and white photos but they are scattered throughout 4 different rooms. You have a lovely tailored sofa but it is covered with 7 throw pillows.
Delve back into the books, literally. Recycle those dog-eared paperbacks; invest in some quality hardbacks of your favorite authors. Remember to use decorative pieces in your shelves as well. Stack some books, place a vase next to them. Try using one color palette, for instance, all cobalt blue glassware.
Round up your treasured photos. Put them all in similar frames, like silver for a polished traditional look or black for a clean modern appeal. Group them together, paying attention to heights and size, larger photos in back, smaller ones to the front.
Find new homes for those pillows. Typically 3 is enough for any sofa.
You've just updated your look!
