“Ask the Designer,” an interactive element to help you with your home design questions. We ask you, readers, to send along some interesting and simple questions that we can, in turn, run by our designers. For example, “I really love mixing different patterns, but I’m unsure how to do it. Much of my patterns are bold stripes, but I’ve found a great floral pattern recently. How do I make it work? Help!” Each month we will choose one question from all those submitted and ask our design experts to answer it.

If you could choose only one “to do” this winter, which home improvement project would be the best investment and the most personally satisfying?
