[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Here are a few more design rules to try out in your space and help get you started:
- Incorporate positive space into every room: And consider your negative space too! An essential component of home design is not just about looking for places where you can place or remove things. It's about looking for spots that look great even when they're empty. It's also about considering the function of the empty spaces between the details and objects.
- Follow the rule of odd numbers: arranging or grouping details and objects in odd numbers make them more appealing, memorable, and effective than even-numbered pairings.
- Find your room’s focal point and decorate around it: Think of the focal point of a room as the room's anchor. For example, the center point of a living room is where the coffee table or center table will sit, with seating arranged around it.

[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Eco-friendly literally means earth-friendly or not harmful to the environment. This usually means products that contribute to green living or practices that help conserve resources like water and energy. You can implement eco-friendly home decor and design to promote healthy living for the planet and its inhabitants, big and small. Eco-friendly products also lessen contributions to air, water, and land pollution. We recommend really taking the time to consider and inquire about WHERE the items, decorations and things you own and use come from, how they’ve been made and what you will do with it when you no longer want or need it (a.k.a. how will you dispose of it or what will you do with it when you no longer need or want it?).

[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]To incorporate some of the principles of eco-friendly home design, you can follow the 5 R's of sustainable living:
- Refuse (anything you do not really need, packaging, single-use plastics)
- Reduce (your reliance on things, reduce what waste you create)
- Reuse (pretty simple!)
- Recycle (also simple!)
- Rot (compost your food and garden waste)

[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="27"][vc_column_text]Living breathing greenery is the finishing touch no tropical-inspired room should go without.Plain terra cotta pots have their place, but we’re big believers in cultivating a more distinctive kind of container garden. And apparently so are shoppers. The keyword “Planters” are the most-searched item in the outdoor and garden category right now. Fortunately, a bumper crop of hanging planters, vertical gardens, and pots of all shapes and sizes is available to handle every horticultural need. Picture modern planters in hand-painted concrete, color-blocked stoneware vessels with mix-and-match shades of glaze, and an endless array of options for displaying those ever-popular succulents and almost-unkillable air plants.[/vc_column_text][gem_divider margin_top="74"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][gem_textbox padding_top="55" padding_bottom="55" padding_left="-10"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
