What’s the best way to feather a first nest? Jennifer Mathis of Blue Bowl Interiors offers her pro advice: Stick to a consistent color scheme and know when to go for broke. With this look, you can save on removable wall-paper and a patterned rug, leaving more funds for furnishings. “Casegoods are the perfect place to splurge,” Mathis says. “A quality piece will last a lifetime.”
