The secrets to creative home decorating
Prioritize your space & choose key furnishings first
Oakland, Calif., interior designer Sheri Sheridan says the most important areas in a house are the entryway and the living
and dining rooms. “These are your entertaining spaces, and they should be celebrated every day.” Each needs something big
and bold, so the room feels substantial. “You want to add something tall to support flow and draw the eye up, making the ceiling
seem higher,” Sheridan says. Note her Greek column in the corner.
Invest in furniture that will withstand the test of time; its basic shapes and colors serve as decorating cornerstones. In
Sheridan’s house, design icons like a Saarinen dining table, a modern sofa, bubble lamps, and an acrylic coffee table balance
her colorful, eclectic accessories.
