Design Lessons from Lindsey Bond Meadows

Establish a Base
"Large pieces of upholstery shouldn't steal the show. Keeping them solid lets them subtly blend into the environment."

Throw in an Accent
"Energize neutrals with hints of blues and greens. They add oomph without overpowering the delicate balance."

Be Inconsistent
"The exact same shade of white does not need to extend throughout your house. Instead, combine various tones from light to dark."

Mix Materials
"Use stone, wood, metal, concrete, and glass. The balanced combination of textures adds depth."
