1. Create a sense of harmony
   

   Design with pairs, such as lamps or side tables.  Smaller accessories can be placed to counterbalance and keep the room from becoming stagnant.

2. Use contrasting textures to stimulate senses
   

   Try combining the use of hard and soft surfaces- mix granite with un-honed travertine, hand scraped hard wood floors with silk or wool rugs, or a plush, down sofa with a lacquered table.

3. Place mirrors to improve or enhance light
   

   Strategically place a mirror opposite a window or chandelier to brighten a room, rather than adding more lamps.

4. Select a color palette for the room’s desired mood
   

   Use soft, muted colors in a bedroom for relaxation, and brighter colors in a living room to boost conversation.

5. Fill rooms with a pleasant scent
   

   
   Fragrance enhances the visual mood.  If a design is of a cool color palette, pair it with mint or lime scented candles- Or for a romantic retreat in a master bedroom use lavender or jasmine.
