Additionally, paying attention to small details can really elevate the room.
Paint around recessed lighting to tie the room together and to add a fun detail.

“Explore which shade is best by testing large swatches.
To tie in the rest of the room, choose wallpaper, backsplash or smaller accents like rugs.”

This hexagon-shaped tile backsplash features geometric triangles that help balance the round cabinet knobs and square floor tiling.
This hammered copper backsplash ties all the colors of the kitchen together while creating a stunning focal point.

Pastels can make a bold statement, too.
