It is exciting to move into a new space and have a blank slate to start furnishing again. But then when you are done, it looks exactly like the last place you didn't like. What could you possibly be doing WRONG?

1. Hanging curtains that are way too short or too long. Ideally, your window treatments should just hit the floor or pool by only a couple of inches for a current look.
2. Filling an entire room with every expatriate, car pool sale finds. We love vintage furniture, but too much will make your place look more like a museum than a modern home. Pick a few amazing pieces and mix old with new.
3. Throwing an area rug over wall-to-wall carpeting. This is really never a good look. Place rugs on wood or other resilient flooring to soften the space.
4. Buying (expensive) upholstered furniture without trying it out first. Big mistake. Before you invest, you'll want to make sure it's comfy and durable.
5. Choosing furniture that's either too big or too small for a space. Scale is one of the most important elements of design, and it's tough to master. Make sure to bring your room's measurements to the store before making a big purchase.
6. Everything in the room is matchy-matchy. The best way to make a space your own is by picking out furniture and accessories over time. Avoid the "catalog look" that occurs when everything comes in a set, and instead mix wood pieces with other finishes like mirrored, glass or painted items.
7. Using too many pillows. Everywhere. If it takes you 20 minutes to make your bed, you have WAY too many. If you have to seat at the edge of your seat, you have WAAAY too many pillows. Placing just a few toss pillows is a good way to add a pop of color and texture to your room.
8. Relying on overhead lighting. Never underestimate the ambience created by layering lots of levels of light. Try mixing in table and floor lamps so you can change up the mood.

The best thing to do when furnishing a house is to do things slowly over time and buying pieces you, as the owner of the home, are comfortable with.

Apartments are getting smaller and smaller. Here are a few tips on how to make a small space look larger.

1. In general, light walls make a small room feel larger. There are exceptions to this rule: a dark accent wall can bring definition and scale to a small space and bright colors can definitely help to enliven a small room. Unless you're going for a cloistered, cozy feeling avoid dark chocolate browns on all four walls.
2. If you can paint the floor white, it's a good trick for making a small space appear larger and more airy.
3. Hang curtains at the complete edges of the windows. You can make a window appear larger by flanking it with floor-length curtains that visually extend into the wall.
4. Don't fill the room with too much furniture, and choose pieces with a small footprint (cover a small area) that are visually lightweight (light colours, visually light materials).
5. Use accessories that emit and reflect light. If you don't have the space for floor or table lamps, use wall-mounted lights (especially in areas that don't get a lot of light). Hang a mirror on a wall opposite a window to reflect light into the space.
