Glitter Guide - Highlights from Style at Home with The Doctors Closet

When Monika of The Doctor's Closet asked me to help get her home "Glitter Guide" ready I was thrilled.  Having consulted with her throughout her decorating process I can say there's nothing quite like working with a client who has great style, it makes the job so easy! 

I like to begin by removing all clutter.  Once you have a clean slate then you can decide what you want to put back into the space, what needs to find a new home and what should be added.

In the bedroom we chose gorgeous pillows and a beautiful Cameroon Juju Hat from The Cross Design.  I absolutely love the pattern the pillows bring and texture the feathers add to the room.  The large custom Confetti painting is a fun addition and pulls together the palette of gold, silver, white and cream.

The simplest way to add pattern to a bathroom is to display printed towels. These were purchased at HomeSense.  I love the whimsical his/hers hooks and the LOVE prints by Jen Ramos are perfect for the space!

I've had many people ask where pillows should be placed on a sectional couch.  Having them in the corner can be enough but I also like the look of pillows on either side - it gives lots of opportunity to add texture, warmth, possible color and pattern making any couch inviting!  Here we used a monochromatic approach but added interest with different fabrics and textures.  A moroccan leather pouf always looks fabulous and can be used as an extra seat or ottoman in a small space.  The bar table, also from Homesense, was a fun addition; when you have beautiful glasses and accessories you need to show them off!

Shelving can be daunting to decorate in a home office.  In Monika's office we cleared all unneeded papers into IKEA boxes and made her shelves a place to display books, artwork and beautiful ceramics.  Artwork can be a print, original painting or even a framed card or calendar page.  One of the best functional and decorative items you can add to your home office is a chalkboard decal.  This one is from Urbanwalls where you can find different sizes and shapes so you're sure to find one to fit your space perfectly.
