It is possible to use glitter and achieve a sophisticated ‘design home.’

The delicate shimmer of glitter can inspire your sophisticated home décor, if you know how to use glitter without actually using glitter.

Say what?

Yes, you can use glitter, sparingly, but whenever I’m using an inspiration, I try to not translate it literally into a home interior. It can look childlike or odd if you use inspirations literally.

When using an inspiration, deconstruct the inspiration and look at its essential elements. Those elements will help you create the feeling of the inspiration without a literal childlike translation.

We’ll be talking about using glitter like a grown-up in home decor and in a sophisticated design home during #HossDesign Twitter chat with Hoss magazine editors on Wednesday, October 5th at 7:30pmET.

I hope to tweet you then. -t
