Color
The first thing to consider is how the piece will blend in with the decor in your home. While you might be tempted to choose a bold, dramatic color that's attention-grabbing, you'll often find that this will create a sense of tension with your other decor and make the room feel cluttered or chaotic. The colors you choose should be balanced with one another to create a sense of harmony in your room, because if they're not, you'll end up with an eye-catching piece that clashes with everything else!
