Copy Cat Design

Have you ever looked at a picture in a magazine and copied the image exactly in your own room? Well that is called copy cat design and it’s okay when your doing it just for you, but in the professional world it’s not such a great idea. So what do the professionals do? Well they look at that same image for inspiration and change things to fit their clients needs. This is something that you should try as well. Instead of coping the room exactly find one or two things that you love about it and add it to your space, then go from there.

An example would be going to Wal-mart and buying the better homes and gardens bedspread, but finding other things to go with that besides what you see in the picture. Yes these pictures are meant to make your life easy, but it doesn’t represent your individual style. Adding those personal accessories is a great way to make a well designed look your own, so don’t copy cat, be inspired by a room.
