Install as plush a carpet as your budget allows for a feeling of luxury. Display baskets, stuffed animals, or even your pottery collection on the steps. Decorate the risers of your steps. I painted the back side of vinyl flooring and adhered it to the risers with carpet tape. If you can only have one accessory to decorate your home, select a handful of fresh flowers.
Flower containers can be as elegant as a crystal vase or as everyday as a tin can.
For best visual results, hang pictures at eye level or just below it. Install molding strips in horizontal lengths to form a ledge along one wall. When combining several different fabrics in one room, make sure the fabrics do not fight each other in scale and the prints are unified with color. For example, two large floral patterns will conflict with each other, whereas a stripe and floral in the same color family will complement each other. Use a check fabric to bridge together more complex patterns that are used in the same room.
