I hate to break it to you, but stylists or designers don’t follow a secret decorating rule book. There are no hard and fast laws governing what we do. We are creative types by nature and love to imagine, dream, explore and follow our intuition. That being said, there are some general principles that guide us to ensure a great result every time. They are tried and true approaches that work, not secret tricks or skills that take years to master. Anyone can do them from day one. Consider this a foundation for developing your own quirky, creative, rule-breaking and intuitive approach.
