House of StyleDcor for every room

To create a home thats as comfortable as it is stylish, its important to consider how

you live. Do you live in your bedroom? Then make it very luxurious with a fantastic

bed. Put the sound system in there and do great closets, said top designer Chris-

topher Coleman. But if you only stay home to entertain guests, shift your focus to

the living room. No matter what room you use the most, a few simple changes can

take your dcor from blah to brilliant. Heather Corcoran

LIVEThe living room is the

all-purpose player in mosthomes. Flexible seating arrange-

ments allow the room to express itsmultiple personalities. And dont be

afraid of color an accent wall helpsto anchor a heavy piece, while throw

pillows and accessories add small hintsof color. People get scared to death,

they think youre going to paintevery room a different color,

said Coleman. Its all inthe dosage.
