She said that your home should reflect your personal style. To get started, she suggested creating a concept board by collecting pictures from magazines that reflect your style or taste.
Taniya created a room on the set based on an outfit modeled by Aisha Tyler. One of her suggestions was to design using contrasting colors.
The Talk: Dining Room & Contrasting Color Design
Aisha wore black pants with a pink top. The room in the design had a pink wall color and dark furniture. Your jewelry box can help you get ideas about how glamour can make your room’s design shine.
Sconces with crystals, crystal candlesticks, and some surprising thrift store finds can help you create an amazing look on any budget.

A bedroom was designed based on co-host Sheryl Underwood’s personality and colorful blue top. Taniya wanted to create a colorful and energetic space.
Denim was a clue to Underwood’s desire for comfort, with crisp white bedding. Textures can help make a statement, from layers of your outfit to layers of decor in a room or space.
The Talk: Living Room Interior Design
Finally, Taniya Nayak showed off her idea for designing a living room. Julie Chen’s outfit inspired an elegant living room.
Nayak explained that keeping it basic allows you to do shades of gray around a room. Be sure to add some sheen that will reflect light.
The Talk: Monochromatic Accessories
Use accessories to add a pop of color around the room, as you might with shoes or jewelry. Monochromatic elements are a great way to weave or layer a cohesive theme through a room.
Use your fashion sense to help you determine whether an outfit is for you. Trust your instincts and create a space that matches your personality and tastes.
