<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">Over a year ago, I installed generic roman shades in Georgia’s nursery, not even thinking of the safety hazard they would create. I quickly realized how big of a mistake I had made! The chords were hanging down low and were within reach of her crib. There was no way that I could leave them like that.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">That’s when I connected with Melanie from <a href="https://www.behindtheglass.co/" target="_blank">Behind the Glass</a> to discuss kids-safe options. She suggested an easy fix, which I appreciated: adding clips to the wall to wrap the cord around so it’s not dangling down. I thought this solution would be safe, but it would be such a pain to open and close the blinds multiple times each day.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">She then introduced me to <a href="https://www.somfysystems.com/en-us/?utm_medium=sponsored_post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=US_think_multi_acq_shades_influencer_kristine-lee&amp;utm_content=homepage" target="_blank">Somfy</a>, a worldwide leader in motorized window coverings. A<a href="https://www.somfysystems.com/en-us/products/shades-blinds-curtains/motorized-blinds-shades?utm_medium=sponsored_post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=US_think_multi_acq_shades_influencer_kristine-lee&amp;utm_content=blindsandshadespage" target="_blank"> blind system</a> that easily and quickly opens and closes blinds with the click of a button. There are no messy chords, and the motor hides behind the blind, so you don’t even notice it. And, the best part of all is that I was able to customize the look!

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">As soon as I heard about this solution, I knew it was what we needed in our home for efficiency and peace of mind. We have four windows in Georgia’s nursery, including a dormer window in the ceiling that we can’t reach, so installing a motorized system for all windows so we could open and close them all simultaneously with the click of a button sounded brilliant! I love incorporating the “closing of the blinds” into Georgia’s nap time routine. It’s so nice that I can hold her while easily closing the blinds at the same time.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">Taylor’s Bedroom / Main Bedroom

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">We also decided to add ‘black-out’ <a href="https://www.somfysystems.com/en-us/products/shades-blinds-curtains/motorized-blinds-shades?utm_medium=sponsored_post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=US_think_multi_acq_shades_influencer_kristine-lee&amp;utm_content=blindsandshadespage" target="_blank">motorized shades</a> to Taylor’s bedroom and our main bedroom windows because our existing drapes weren’t keeping the light out of our bedrooms, affecting everyone’s sleep. I wanted a clean, light look, so I decided to use the same white linen fabric in all of the bedrooms to seamlessly blend in with the existing drapes for a light and airy feel. In Taylor’s room, we added a fun pink stripe detail to the shade. The color works perfectly with the pink accents in her room and is subtle to tie her room decor together.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">When our alarm goes off in the morning, I reach for my Somfy remote, and with the click of a button, I open the shades in our bedroom and watch the light pour into our bedroom. Taylor does the same thing in her bedroom which is really cute to watch. It’s such a nice way to start our day! I love it when technology makes our life easier.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">Melanie and her partner James from Behind the Glass were so lovely to work with. As a certified <a href="https://www.behindtheglass.co/motorization" target="_blank">Somfy Expert,</a> they were able to recommend the best products for our needs. The skylight in Georgia’s room is an arched window and a very tricky shape to cover. They came up with a custom solution for us that completely blocks out the light while maintaining the beautiful aesthetic of our dormer window when the blind is closed.

Georgia’s Nursery Over a year ago, I installed generic roman shades in Georgia’s nursery, not even thinking of the safety hazard they would create. I quickly realized how big of a mistake I had made! The chords were hanging down low and were within reach of her crib. There was no way that I could leave them like that. That’s when I connected with Melanie from Behind the Glass to discuss kids-safe options. She suggested an easy fix, which I appreciated.

Your interior design preferences are yours, though many personal styles share enough similarities to be part of a category. Understanding your favorite look can help you easily search for furniture and decor that match your aesthetic. 

If you are unsure how to design your home, learning about the different styles can inspire you. Here are 14 of the most popular interior design looks.

Modern interior design evolves with each decade and contains items that have risen in popularity within the past several years. Modern homes often fall under one of two categories: midcentury modern or contemporary. 

Midcentury modern homes have muted colors and shapes. They focus on a combination of natural and synthetic textures. 

Contemporary focuses on current trends and <a href="https://renovated.com/what-is-contemporary-design/">doesn’t have much texture</a>. Clean lines and a focus on sophistication are staples of the design.

This style includes historic and timeless pieces. Most often, <a href="https://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/a23611149/traditional-design/">it takes inspiration from</a> homes of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Symmetry and elegance are essential in traditional design, emphasizing harmony in each room. 

Rich colors and fine details come from Victorian homes, and the style is just as much about architecture as decor. Wainscoting and crown molding are common features throughout these houses. 

A transitional design contains elements of modern and traditional styles, focusing on neutral walls with more standard furniture options. 

Pops of color are common, with wood floors and furniture throughout the home. Texture is another essential element for this design style, adding dimension to walls and furniture. 

Rustic design evolved from the Romantic Movement and focuses on using natural materials with some industrial touches. 

These homes are all about simplicity and embracing the beauty nature offers. Main rooms throughout the home typically have focal points that ground each area, such as a mirror or fireplace. 

Maximalism is not the same thing as clutter. It's all about strategically layering colors and textures to create a bold, aesthetically pleasing home. 

These rooms often feel larger than life, with guests always finding something new to look at. However, they are not so overwhelming that you cannot hold a meaningful conversation in them. The floors remain clear in most maximalist designs. Walls and shelves serve as canvases to display photos, antiques and other decor items.

Practice makes perfect with maximalist design. Homeowners often use a color or theme that ties a room together, keeping it fun and not overwhelming.

While maximalism enjoys having more, minimalism is all about less. Minimalist rooms breathe easier than other designs. Simplicity with smart and practical features is key to implementing this design style. 

These homes are bright and clean, with a neutral color palette and simple designs. It's common for minimalist houses to have a pop of color here and there, but they're often not a major priority.

Minimalism could be a great interior design option for people who <a href="https://share.upmc.com/2021/02/clutter-and-stress/">get stressed with clutter</a> around.

If a home has good bones, why not show them? That is the philosophy of industrial design lovers.

The style originated <a href="https://www.jdinstitute.edu.in/industrial-interior-design-all-you-need-to-know/">during the Industrial Revolution</a> and took inspiration from factories' exposed brick and ductwork. Many modern industrial homes and apartments originated from these older buildings.

Metals, brick, wood and utilitarian decor complement the open spaces found in many industrial homes. This gives the house a large feel, with room to converse and create.

Think of eclecticism as a toned-down form of maximalism. The style focuses on carefully selecting items to create an interior rich in culture. 

Despite what some may think, there are limits to what you can do with eclectic design to keep it from overwhelming you and your guests. Many homes with this style feature a neutral palette with a few accent colors per room. 

Eclectic style has a balance of color, texture, and old and new items, making interesting and enjoyable spaces.

Naturalism has been around for centuries, though people from the past probably didn't realize it was interior design. This method focuses on <a href="https://www.thewoodveneerhub.com/blogs/wood-veneer-blog/top-modern-wall-paneling-trends-to-elevate-your-home">bringing the outdoors into the home</a> through natural elements and organic fabrics.

Modern naturalism focuses on appreciating all nature has to offer by honoring the imperfect shapes and textures found in a forest or along a beach.

This style is one of the most sustainable options and is perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. 

Art deco can be hard to describe, but you often know it the instant you see it. The design originated in the 1920s and has distinctive features.

Ultra plush fabric, rounded furniture, brass accents and <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/art-deco-rooms-slideshow">jewel-toned walls</a> play a part in this fun interior design option. Patterns are also a must, with chevrons and sunbursts remaining popular options.

The style does change from time to time. Symmetry used to be a focus of art deco, but the look now features asymmetrical curves that mimic waves.

Coastal interior design is for anyone who loves the beach and wishes they could be there all year. It is also popular in neighborhoods near the ocean, with homeowners wanting to pay tribute to the sun, sand, and sea. 

Like naturalism, <a href="https://decormatters.com/blog/coastal-chic-17-inspiring-ideas-for-summer-home-decor-with-a-nautical-twist">coastal interior design</a> incorporates elements from nature and shows appreciation for what it offers. The beach is reflected in each room's materials' colors and decor items. The homes often have a neutral base with beige colors to mimic the sand. Blue is also a common wall and accessory color, representing the sea.

Bright and breathable is the main focus of coastal design, with sheer curtains and organic fabrics. 

Southwestern is a continually evolving interior design style. It pays tribute to the home designs that originated in American deserts. 

The style takes inspiration from Spanish textiles, adobe homes and the environment of the Southwest. The houses often have color palettes not seen in other design styles. Cactus green, clay and rust are staples of a Southwestern-style home.

Furniture in these homes often has a strong presence, with thick frames and lots of texture. It is common to find leather and suede upholstery throughout. 

Hollywood glam takes inspiration from the Golden Age of film. Its popularity grew in California <a href="https://www.decoist.com/hollywood-glam-design-style/?chrome=1&amp;D2c=1&amp;A1c=1">during the mid-1900s</a> and spread throughout the country.

This style is a combination of midcentury modern and art deco. The homes are about making a statement, often featuring high-contrast colors throughout. High-gloss finishes on floors and furniture give these houses a dazzling effect, and large glass or crystal chandeliers are design staples. 

It is glamorous and sophisticated, making it great for anyone who wants their home to feel luxurious. 

Vintage styles are the key to a shabby chic home. The look originated in the 1700s and transformed to pay homage to houses of the past.

It is not uncommon to find shabby chic homes filled with decor handed down over generations, creating a house full of stories from different decades. The style is very soft, with some designers describing it as feminine.

Shabby chic homes are meaningful but have a relaxed style overall. 

Knowing your interior design style is a great way to find items, improve your aesthetic and plan future changes. Your residence will truly reflect your aesthetic and feel like home.

What Is My Interior Design Style? 14 Popular Options

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">In this post, I’ll be sharing all the decisions on our outdoor space that provided so many fun memories for us this summer. Our <a href="https://decormatters.com/blog/creating-the-perfect-outdoor-kitchen-area-in-5-simple-steps">outdoor kitchen and grill</a> didn’t get installed until last Fall and we waited so patiently for this summer to enjoy it.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">When we first designed our house, I knew I wanted a patio on the same floor as our main floor. I wanted our indoor and outdoor space to feel cohesive. It was important to me to have our patio on the same level as our main floor so you could walk right out. This was a little tricky to create as our lot had a slight incline, so what this meant is that our patio is slightly recessed, and we have a few stairs that take you to the grass area. I was a little concerned about this at first, but it gives you a nice tucked-in feeling, and there is a bit of a separation between the patio and grass area where the kids play.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">The size of our patio is approximately 19′ x 34′. Because we maximized our square footage with our house, we couldn’t incorporate a built-in patio cover because our bylaws wouldn’t allow it. Therefore, we have a couple of umbrellas on the patio, which we move around on sunny days. Not having a built-in cover on our back patio also means we get <a href="https://decormatters.com/blog/maximizing-natural-light-in-your-home">the maximum amount of sunlight</a> pouring into our home during the day, which makes me happy.

I love how it contrasts against the white-painted brick on our house. We did a light grey grout color so you can see the pattern in the stone. We have a brick pony wall around the patio and built-in planters on either side of the stairs that we fill with annuals. This year they were filled will Petunias (in particular Supertunias) that just thrived there! We worked with <a href="http://www.robspytz.com/robspytzdesign" target="_blank">Rob Spytz</a> on our patio and landscaping plan.

The design and quality of the grill were the two most important things to us. What drew us to <a href="https://deltaheat.com/" target="_blank">Delta Heat</a> was the sleek design, grill features, and lifetime warranty. We chose the <a href="https://deltaheat.com/built-in-premier-grills/38-outdoor-gas-grill/" target="_blank">Delta Heat Grill 38” built-in model</a>. Their engineers and master craftsmen have invested countless hours into the appeal of their products and it shows!

It’s constructed of marine-grade aluminum, so it’s highly durable in all climates. Ours is 11′ wide. Their outdoor kitchens are all fully customizable, making so much sense since everyone’s space and needs are different. We did cupboards to store our outdoor dinnerware and BBQ tools and built-in garbage and recycling bins. Our hardware is from Emtek, and our countertop is Vancouver Island marble from Matrix Marble &amp; Stone.

We selected the 36” Halo Firepit. We love cozying around the fire pit with a blanket, glass of wine, and some soft tunes when the sun goes down at night.

They were so helpful and very informative when we were researching all options available to us.

We kept the colors neutral and warm like the inside of our house, brought in some natural wood tones, and softened the hardscape with pillows and throws:

When we first started designing our outdoor space, it was most important to us that our indoor and outdoor space felt cohesive. Not only did we want our patio on the same floor as the main floor, but we also chose warm and neutral outdoor furniture to match. Check out how we revamped our patio and built our outdoor kitchen to create a flow between our indoor and outdoor living areas. 

How to Create a Cohesive Outdoor Kitchen

Hello lovely friends, I’ve missed you!

I took some time off from blogging to be able to enjoy time with family over the end of the summer and I’m finally getting back into a routine. Have you found it difficult to stick to a routine this year? I sure have! It seems like everything has been so out of whack…but I’m deciding in my heart to continue to do the things that help me with my routine…. daily devotions, exercise, planning what I can, taking deep breaths, and learning to not get stressed when my routine is interrupted!

We’ve all been spending more time at home and because of this, it’s easy to get discouraged about the spaces in our homes. This summer, I walked by my daughter’s bedroom (which hasn’t changed from when she moved several years ago!) and thought… "This room needs help!"

However, I had zero inspiration for this space, so I did nothing!

By the way…when you don’t know what to do about space, it’s okay to wait and do nothing until you get inspired. About 6 months later, a picture popped up on my IG feed and I knew that this is what I needed to do in this space!

Let me show you some before pics of this bedroom so that you can see my dilemma.

Before:

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: center !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">Here is my inspiration picture from Ashley @modernly_you. Isn’t this accent wall beautiful? Actually, I love everything about this room!

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">I could tell that she used thin trim boards to create this look in her room and so I decided to do the same for our guest bedroom.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
Here are the supplies you will need:

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h3-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">1. Trim Boards

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
I used 1 1/2” by 1/4” - Mine was already primed from Lowe’s.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">2. Wood Glue

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
I put this on the back of the board first to keep it adhered to the wall.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">3. Pin Nailer or hammer and thin nails.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">This secures the boards onto the wall after the glue.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">4. Chop Saw

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
You can also use a regular hand saw if you don’t have a chop saw because the boards are thin.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">5. Paintable Caulk

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
This is to fill in the gaps between boards before you paint the wall.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">6. The paint of your choice to finish it up.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
Here are the steps to creating a fun, boho-inspired accent wall:

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">1. Decide on your pattern.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
This is a fun step! There are so many cool patterns out there so explore Pinterest to find the one that you want!

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">2. Use a pencil to mark the wall (or use painter’s tape).

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">We decided where we wanted to place the trim pieces and then measured where to cut them.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">
3. Use a chop saw to cut the pieces.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">4. Apply wood glue on the back of the boards and then secure them into place with a pin nailer.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">5. Keep working along your wall and adding pieces.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">I kept my picture handy so that I could refer to it!

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">6. Fill in the gaps with caulk and then paint.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">This is Sherwin Williams Shell White. It is the same color as the trim in this room and allows a small room to really flow together and look bigger.

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-h2-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">7. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful wood accent wall!

<span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; text-align: left !important; display: block;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); font: inherit; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;">Thanks for joining me today, friends!

An Accent Wall Completely Changed the Look of This Bedroom

Green is a bold choice of color for some. It's most commonly used as an accent or a bold statement color.

We challenged our users to create spaces that focus on the color and different shades of green! We gave them spaces such as living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, etc. Check out some of their beautiful designs!
