How It Can Help You:
What feels like a mishmash is actually a chance to stop pinning other people's decor and be your own decorator. Improvise. Move things around. Snap a few photos with your phone, Smith recommends, and take a lunch break away from the house. After an hour away, take a look at the photos—in an image, it can be easier to pick out similarities. Often, a few coordinating colors throughout the room can tie everything together: Maybe the lamp's pale blue tint brings out the cerulean in the pillows, making it a perfect fit for the side table next to the sofa. A few touches of blue elsewhere in the room, and suddenly, your mishmash is Etsy-meets-Ace-Hotel cool—exactly what you were going for.
