The MEDIA room:
This will be a space you spend a lot of time in as a
couple and so it is essential to ensure you blend design
and function. Masculine wall art can be combined with
feminine accents for a modern sophisticated appeal.

The DINING room:
This is a great area to have a blend of styles. Don’t feel
the need to go for a matching set. Mix up your styles
for the table and the seating and finish the look with a
lighting element.

MORE GREAT TIPS:
Agree, not just on a budget, but on what each
room will be used for and how much money will
be allocated to each item in your space.
One person can lead the search for the
couch while the other person is
responsible for narrowing down the end
table picks. He does the research on
televisions and she makes the final
choice as to which rug completes the look.
Sometimes styling unusual pieces
together can create the most exciting rooms.
Don’t be afraid to be bold and interesting.
