Want your place to you look as though you hired a professional designer, even if you didn’t?

Think details and dimension.

"Decorating is often in the details," notes Tamara Robbins Griffith, Managing Editor at Style At Home magazine. "It’s the small things and the finishing touches."

For example, an area rug made of silk and wool. The addition of silk to the wool adds a slight sheen, which gives the piece dimension.

You might also invest in a sofa that has extra flourishes, such as a nail head trim. The trim helps define the edge of the sofa, and also adds visual appeal.

Tamara notes that often what happens in renovations is that the homeowners will forget to leave room in the budget for accessories, and those small touches are often what will set the room apart and personalize it.

Throw pillows are a relatively inexpensive way to liven up a room — although you might consider pairing a more expensive embellished cushion with a couple of less expensive ones. It’s all about mixing high and low pieces.

Lighting is also very important, and if you’re searching for floor lamps, look for ones that make a bold statement all on their own, without the light even being on.

Coffee table books and flowers in a vase are also relatively inexpensive ways to dress up a space.

Remember, it’s all in the details, and in developing an eye for those details. Watch the clip with Tamara below for more on how to decorate like a professional stylist.
