Every now and then, you need to shake things up when it comes to the design of your home.

There are so many rules out there that we often lose our expressive and creative side in order for our homes to fit inside of familiar conventions.

Some aspects of design, such as symmetry and balance, need to be included in every room’s layout.

However, most other rules can be broken. The reason so many people stay ‘inside the lines’ is an inherent fear of failing miserably.

Find the rebellious teenager inside of you and see how far you can bend the typical, boring rules of design in order to create your own personalized space.
