My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Think of Ralph Lauren and haw he has pulled this off for years. I also cover this in my Home Decor: A Sunset Design Guide book.

    TIE PATTERNS TOGETHER Take as your inspiration the one pattern you are most attracted to. Then choose two or more that work with it. Three patterns provide plenty of variety; more than three can be overwhelming.

    USE COLOR TO UNIFY Patterns with light backgrounds open up a room. Those with dark backgrounds make it more intimate.

    VARY THE PATTERNS Choose a variety of styles and use patterns that are
    different in scale. For example, try a large-scale plaid with a medium-scale abstract leaf pattern and a small-scale stripe that combines colors from both.
