“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.
