Tile a feature wall.
Feature walls aren't just for interiors. Here, four kinds of handpainted tiles mimic the character of a patchwork quilt. The trick to pulling it off: "When crafting a truly random pattern with various tiles, it's best to arrange the tile on the floor prior to installation," says Kelly Challberg of Draper Grey Interiors.
KEEP WALLS TIDY
Use a long-reach microfiber mop or duster to nab webs and fine debris in high corners, suggests GH Cleaning Lab Executive Director Carolyn Forté.
Add bright pops of color.
Grounded by a stamped-concrete floor, this multifunctional layout proves that vibrant furniture and accessories can become an instant focal point. "We took color inspiration from plants, flowers and fruit trees in the yard to create a space that feels lively and welcoming," designer Emily LaMarque says of the Los Angeles home.
TILED-TABLE CARE
Clean a mosaic table with a mix of mild dish soap and water and a soft cloth. Avoid ammonia, which can strip the sealer from the tabletop, says Forté.
Make a stepping-stone path.
