Keep things fresh with movement.  There should always be something living in the space...such as flowers, a plant or goldfish. It's also important to embrace the seamless combination of textures, patterns and price points. Find an old piece of furniture you love and customize it with a fresh coat of paint or upholstery. Use as a showpiece at the wedding then bring it home to use as a focal point in your design. Don't keep things too matchy matchy, combining styles and colors make for much more inviting and interesting look.  It keeps your look relevant and interesting.
