Emily Procter, or Martha Stewart?

Will Emily ever choose just one spelling of her last name? She is credited under both Proctor and Procter. But oh well, she has more important things on her mind, like decorating her new house.

It’s no surprise that this classy Southern gal has a way with décor. She offers her top 5 decorating tips on her official website, here.

Want your house, apartment, or office to look like Emily’s? Just follow these simple steps:

1. “Always pick three main colors to make a room look layered. I chose red, green, and yellow for my living room. Then you can add patterned items as long as they include one of those basic colors.”

2. “Dark green plants are an inexpensive way to give a room a rich feel.”

3. “Flat twin sheets make unique drapes that don’t cost much. Open up the top hems and slide the drapery rod through.”

4. “Martha Stewart paints are great and cheap. One of my favorites is Peacock Feather, a deep teal blue I used in my old hallway.”

5. “Don’t be afraid of painting a room a dark color. You can always repaint. My friends joke that my rooms have lost three inches since I moved in.”
