«Breaking News» The five design rules that will help you decorate like a pro

Beautiful homes don't have to belong only to those with a design degree.

If you employ these five basic design rules, you can turn your property from a cluttered space into a chic home.

Better Homes and Gardens revealed the rules, and how they should be followed to achieve luxury style on a budget.

Here, FEMAIL takes a look at the top tips.

Designers recommend that people follow the rule of decorating the home with odd numbers

Utilise odd numbers

Similar to the rule of threes in art, designers recommend that people follow the rule of decorating the home with odd numbers.

This is because grouping items together, be it on a coffee table or shelf, creates visual harmony. 

'It helps if the grouping of items includes trinkets of different heights, shapes and textures,' the publication said.

Even though there needs to be some difference in the products, there should be a cohesive colour or theme. 

Once homeowners have decided what colours they want to decorate their house with they need to follow the 10-30-60 rule

Follow the 10-30-60 rule

Once homeowners have decided what colours they want to decorate their house, they need to make sure they work cohesively.

Following the 10-30-60 rule means firstly picking a dominant colour that will take up 60 per cent of the room and should be a relatively neutral shade.

The secondary colour makes up 30 per cent and should be a bolder colour that is used for items like the furniture.

The accent colour is the last 10 per cent and should be used for cushions, rugs, throws and accessories.

A focal point should catch the eye as soon as people enter the room and other aspects of the room should be arranged around it

Find your focal point

Most interior designers recommend having a focal point in a room to draw the eye.

What this feature is is entirely up to whoever is styling the room but it could be anything from a dramatic mirror or artwork hung over a fireplace or a statement piece of furniture.

This piece should catch the eye as soon as people enter the room and other aspects of the room should be arranged around it.

Respect negative space

Better Homes and Gardens recommended that people should leave parts of their walls bare as it allows for breathing space for furniture.

It also allows the room to feel curated and helps get rid of clutter. 

To get the balance in your home right you need to know basic measurement rules for key pieces

Know common measurements

To get the balance in your home right you need to know basic measurement rules for key pieces.

'Leave about a 40 centimetre space between sofas and coffee tables. When hanging art on the wall, the centre of it should be at eye level, usually around 140 to 150 centimetres from the floor,' the publication said.

Meanwhile, curtains should be around ten centimetres above your window frame.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
