HGTV shows love this (you’re likely to be familiar with shiplap from Fixer Upper) but there’s other options as well. Cerused wood, for example, is a type where a white pigment is brushed over wood to highlight the grain lines, creating a gorgeous rustic and airy feel.

4: SAY YES TO FLORALS

Don’t be shy when it comes to this pattern. While it’s an obvious choice, it’s a classic for a reason. And your options are so open, both for the pattern you choose and where you use it.
