9. Give it a textural mix.
Mix it up by combining different elements - soft lace against hard metal. Keep them in the same colour family and it will look classy and chic.

Mix unexpected elements together for unexpected results. I started with lots of paint and gel medium on the base of the box, then decided that I really wanted to use the owls fabric button...*LOL*
