Color Selection
Color is vital to creating your desired look and feel within a space. Neutral colors create a beautiful, blended backdrop making a space feel open. Deeper hues drive a more defined, intimate feel. Subtle shades of color offer a sense of tranquility, while brighter statement hues energize a space.

Pattern Possibilities
Like color, patterns can create spacial illusions. Stripes and geometric patterns make a space feel bigger, as can the more subdued textural solids and distressed patterns. On the contrary, patterns such as abstract, ikat, tribal, and the alike create a strong focal point drawing the eye in.
