I don’t know how many times I’ve decorated a coffee table, or tried to add some accent pieces to a room, but something just wasn’t right. You can use the most exquisite ornaments, but if they aren’t in scale or in proper proportion with the rest of the room, your design will never work.

Most people buy sofas that are too large, and rugs that are too small for their homes. Your furniture should take up about two-thirds of the floor space leaving one-third vacant for traffic flow. Even a coffee table should be about two-thirds the width of your sofa.
