Create unique interiors throughout your home that satisfy the senses and fulfill all potential roles by leveraging the 7 elements of design: Space, line, form, light, color, texture and pattern.
Balance is essential when applying these elements to your space! Here are a few tips to get started:

Space - Use appropriate balance of negative and and positive space, which is the distance between and around furniture and objects to make your space feel thoughtfully laid out. Play around with adding and removing items until you get your desired look.
Line - Both structural features and room furnishes offer a mix of horizontal and dynamic lines that influence focal points and overall feel of a space. Balancing both kinds of lines will give your space a polished and professional look.
Form - Form is simply shape. This includes the shape of the room itself, furniture, artwork and decorative accessories. Balance natural shapes to bring softness to an interior in contrast to stronger geometric shapes.
Light - Light is extremely important in a home. The common trend right now is to have as much natural light as possible. Floor-to-ceiling windows, thin drapes, and light-colored furniture and design in the homes are good ways to achieve that airy look.
Color - The color of your interior design can change the whole mood when you enter a room. Color has the power to make a room feel lighter, larger, or cozier.
Texture - Adding textures to your home will add the perfect pizzazz that it needs. Mixing textures and contrasting them add to the depth and interest of the room scheme.
Pattern - Pattern is the final element of design but it is just as important. Pattern trends also change very frequently so it is important to be contentious when picking one out. The style of the pattern whether that’s floral, geometric, abstract or any other design should be in harmony with the overall style of the scheme.<br /><br />For more info click <a href="https://www.homesandgardens.com/news/7-elements-of-design">here!</a>

The season you sell your home can have an impact on how much you get for your home and how quickly it sells. The season that has the most success in selling homes is spring. This is a good time of year for families moving to new school districts and is also more convenient weather for moving. Because of this trend, most people will recommend waiting to list your home until after the winter is over. Avoiding the winter is a huge misconception in the housing industry and can cause homeowners to miss out on opportunities.
Selling in the winter can give you a few advantages. There will be fewer houses on the market since most people assume winter is a bad time to sell. This gives your home more attention. Potential buyers are always looking no matter the time of year. Keeping your house on the market in the winter might bring the right buyer to your door. Real estate agents also tend to be less busy during these months and commit more time to getting your home sold.
Studies have shown winter buyers are buying because they need to move right away either for a relocation or personal situation. They will want to close quickly and allow for a much smoother sale.
Bottom Line
If you need to sell your home right away, or have some time but want to see what is out there, consider listing in the winter. Most homeowners who are going to sell will list their home in the spring, making for a competitive market. The winter allows buyers who are in a hurry to move consider your home and sell for more money than you would have in the spring.2017-11-21T16:27:00-07:002017-11-21T15:28:16-07:00Shawn Culhane
