Want to make your house look 75% better?

Make rules and Follow them!

Here are 8 rules you can follow to create an eye popping theme:

1. Follow a color scheme.

Pick 1 primary (exterior or interior) and 1-2 accents

Commit. Be brave.

2. Use a unique texture & repeat it 3 times.

Take concrete for example. You could have a concrete fireplace, a concrete shower, and a concrete bench

Could do the same with tile, or stone or plaster

3. Repeat the same wall sconces throughout an entire space/floor (at least 3-4 lights)

This creates the "hotel" effect.

I talk about this all the time and will only quit once it stops looking so dang good.

4. Matched lights outside

Just as you want to create a theme inside w/ fixtures, you can do the same with lamps or lanterns outside.

This adds so much mood.

5. Buy the same chairs for the front & the back

This will give you the "resort" feel

A signature chair to greet you and later to relax in

6. Choose 2 feature landscaping plants.

A grass and one other.

Plant them all over your property. Could mix in a couple others as well but there is serious power in numbers

7. Pattern reference

Let's say you choose something like "stripes"

Have 1-2 striped objects in each bedroom and match 1 color on each

8. Shape

Find a shape you like. Repeat it a bunch of times.

Could be a water vessel. Could be a sphere. Zillion ways to do this!

To conclude- the best communities, buildings & rooms have Rules.

These help everything work together in harmony.

Whether it's your personal pad, STR or apartment development, making rules and intentionally following them is what makes something great.

That's a wrap peeps!
