Decorating Dilemma:Follow along with pictures of this week's decorating dilemma on the How to Decorate Blog: https://bit.ly/4fmFxzgHi Julia,Gabriela and the hosts adore your happy blue kitchen and the warmth your entry grasscloth brings! To streamline your space, Gabriela suggests continuing the grasscloth into the entry area to maintain a cohesive look without overwhelming your charming New York apartment. If you're drawn to the floral pattern you mentioned, stick to using it on the mirror wall and door wall only, leaving the beam in neutral tones to serve as a gentle divider between spaces.Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, Julia. We hope these ideas help you create the perfect balance in your apartment!- How to DecorateAlso Mentioned:
