5 Essential Design Elements

If you are working on decorating your home, regardless if it’s one room or the whole house there are five things you need to do. No room is complete without each of these design elements: Furniture placement, lighting, window coverings, rugs and art.

You might notice that painting your room is not one of the five design elements. There are many amazing rooms that have white or very neutral paint colors. The decor is the star of the show and not the wall color. That doesn’t mean that paint color doesn’t matter, it just means it’s not one of the five essential elements.
