As this living room demonstrates, something indicative of a Burnham-designed space is a meticulous layering of textures, sheens, colors and shapes.

When in doubt, hire a designer. I don't have the words to describe how this designer accomplished layering so many beautiful and diverse things in this room. That's because I lack her skills and eye. If you have a bunch of pieces you love that you just cannot seem to make work together, get advice from a pro. Perhaps try getting your feet wet by hiring an e-decorator.

Color of wall against trim

BB: I can’t stand it when people push their furniture up against the walls of their room. This is not a furniture plan! Pull your furniture in, let it “float.” By creating more intimate groupings of pieces, the result is a much warmer space. Another pet peeve, and I’m sorry BPF, is too much DIY. Most people are not good painters, or paper hangers. Hire a professional to do the work. It’s really well worth the splurge, and that well-prepped and painted wall will make even Ikea furniture look expensive.
