Ron Marvin of Ron Marvi Design presents to Lonny magazine one of his favorite projects, a prewar one-bedroom Manhattan apartment which he has transformed to an art-deco gem, and gives a few styling tips for those who love his style and want to follow it:

1. Do layer your accessories.

2. Don't karate-chop the pillows.

3. Do carefully edit your spaces.

4. Don't "artfully throw" a throw. 

5. Do focus on creating focal points.

Going for gray walls doesn't necessarily mean that you will end up with a dark room. See the hue as a neutral canvas where you can add splashes of vivid colours. This photo is a great example of how neon accessories can liven up a gray room!

No Guts No Decor Glory: The Patterned Wallpaper

I have to admit that patterned wallpapers make me a bit nervous. But here is a great example of a bold wallpaper that doesn't steal the show away from the furniture, the art and the other home accessories! They all blend together and create a wonderful, modern-with-a-hint-of-retro space!
