The Interior Design and Arrangement Association went to work on Smith's home by adding color and texture to the living room and coordinating her old furniture with new accessories. Use dark furniture to create contrast and to add balance in a light colored room. Designers strategically placed Smith's brown sofa to help differentiate between the living room and the foyer. They balanced the room with a large display case that adds more contrast. Create warmth and height to an area by placing a table behind the sofa.
Collectibles create a dramatic touch and effectively add height to the area.
The designers effectively organized Smith's accessories and added emphasis to the area by practicing this technique. Area rugs help define spaces and add color to any room. Lighting should fall naturally into diagonals when the seating arrangements are properly in place. The large area rug placed in Smith's living room creates warmth with its variety of colors. Use greenery to give a room added texture and color.
