I am Carolina a designer\/stylist at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=elegance&utm_content=bobsdiscountfurniturehyperlink\" target=\"_blank\">Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture<\/a>. My job is even cooler than it sounds – I get to make my ideas and visions come to life and then I share them with you! Are you ready to get lost in the inspiration and styling journey for this room I put together in one of our studios here at Bob\u2019s?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing a room can feel overwhelming at first. What style do I go with? What pieces look good together? What colors should I choose? It is completely normal to feel that way! Let me share my ideas and tips with you to make the process easier, less stressful and most of all, more fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Get Inspired! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/shop-the-look\/details\/table-top-montibello?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=elegance&utm_content=photo2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Use an inspiration board to organize your creative ideas | Bob's Discount Furniture \" class=\"wp-image-211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step2-1.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step2-1-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This part may seem unimportant, but I promise it\u2019s helpful! I always have so many ideas and visions that I don\u2019t know where to start. Inspiration boards can be fun! Use Pinterest as your guide, that\u2019s what I do! You can create boards and save your pins to them. If you don\u2019t use Pinterest, you can simply create a Google or Word doc and add screenshots of your inspiration there! I add color swatches, styles, room layouts, DIY projects, words and fonts that create a mood, favorite furniture pieces, and decor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step15.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step15-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Not an online browser? Buy a cork board, or just find a blank wall in your home and tack your ideas up! Cut up magazines, gather paint swatches, and print out your inspiration. Once you have all of your ideas together in front of you – whether it be in a Pinterest board, or on a cork board, you can better visualize your space and before you know it, you\u2019ll be painting and shopping! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Monochrome can be black and white, or varying tones of one color. My vision was to have a black and white dining table, with walls and flooring being different shades of both the black and white. I chose a whitewashed wood floor and dark gray wall color. I decided to do a beige accent wall to keep the color scheme monochrome and to brighten up the space a bit! I styled with elegant pops of color! A mix of golds and silver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step4-2.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step4-2-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I will go more into the mixing of metals in my decor\/final touches section! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

How about this white and black tree for a bold statement piece?! I love that I was able to add an element of the outdoors without bringing in any extra colors! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step13.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step13-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The two wall pieces have hints of light blue, mixed with grays and white. The both have a delicate feel to them, which adds the perfect amount of softness to the room. Black and white can make a room feel very structured and cold, unless you add soft elements! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mixing Metals <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about mixing metals! Choose your prominent metal and then add one or two metal accents to bring contrast in the space. The main metal is to create that unity in your room, while the accent metals will add that pop element! Don\u2019t be afraid to mix warm and cool metals, such as mixing gold or brass with silver. Too much silver can make your space feel cold, adding gold or brass can really warm it up! I promise that metals can work together as long as it is done thoughtfully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step14.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/687x320-step14-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here I used silver as my dominant, then added some gold pieces, and a black metallic piece as my third metal.
