3 Steps to Simple Design
A few rays of sunshine this weekend was enough to get me excited for spring, and in the mood to simplify things around here…
These designs are simple, deliberate and stunning. Here are 3 steps to create a similar look:
#1 Clean Slate: Remove everything you don’t love or need from the room. Organize and store accessories you’ve removed so you can change them out seasonally.
#2 Add staple furniture. Now is the perfect time to re-arrange the furniture. Don’t stop rearranging until it’s both functional and pleasing to you.
#3 Add minimal accessories. Lots of times over-accessorizing can overwhelm and destroy a room. Remember: Less is more! Minimal accessories in earthy, wood tones add zen and warmth to a space. Baskets to store small items, as well as sisal rugs are great for this look, and don’t forget to add a living plant or fresh flowers for the finishing touch.
Breath and enjoy your simplified space all ready for spring!

You’re right, less IS more! I keep downsizing, but I still have room to improve in order to reach my personal zen. Thanks for the tips! I still have work to do on all three steps!! :)
