taking a lot of cues from\u00a0Scandinavian and minimal designs because I&#8217;m simply most drawn to those,\u00a0and though I&#8217;ve fantasized about having a wonderfully eclectic colorful home, my first love has always been a chic, neutral space.<\/p>\n<p>The big decision right now is on a sofa, and the frontrunner\u00a0is a white (maybe gray) one. \u00a0Wait wait wait, what happened to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/blue-velvet-couches\/\" target=\"_blank\">blue velvet sofa<\/a> obsession?? \u00a0I know! \u00a0With the way things have been coming along, throwing in a dramatic blue velvet sofa would look SWEET, but a more neutral option is tugging at me even more. \u00a0Overall though, I&#8217;m struggling the most with this decision. \u00a0We might need to have a vote on the blog soon.<\/p>\n<p>Still have a few more tough decisions to make, but something I like to do to help guide me is to keep inspiration photos on a private Pinterest board, and when I come across decor I&#8217;m contemplating, I ask myself if it would\u00a0fit into these spaces. \u00a0I do believe in if you like it, you like it, but I also think guidelines need to be in place to keep on track, especially for someone like me who can get carried away with liking\u00a0a lot of different things.<\/p>\n<p>Current inspiration:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
