Depending on the style you want to achieve, you may prefer to keep the tones neutral to allow for color to be introduced by way of furnishings and accessories, or you may want to go bold and bright. The choice is yours.
Furniture choice is critical
Due to the shape of a shipping container, you may find that traditional furniture purchases need to be put on hold until you have your final home layout locked in. A clever way to decorate is to use furniture sparingly. Over cluttering can cause your space to appear smaller than it actually is.
Walls walls everywhere
Take advantage of the study strong walls that give your new home its unique look. Add hooks, mirrors and accessories all over the walls to create a further sense of depth and space.
