1. Figure Out Your Style First
You’ve probably walked into stores before and found yourself liking random things in there. But just because they speak to you doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll form a cohesive picture in your new home.
So what you want to do first is figure out your overall style. Is it something such as a modern, contemporary, or even farmhouse?
Once you know the answer to this question, then you can proceed with decorating in that style. You’ll want it to somewhat match the exterior of your house too.
2. Tackle It Room by Room
Even Superman wouldn’t be able to decorate a whole house in a short span of time. Throw in a busy work and life schedule, and you’d be crazy to try and decorate your entire house in a week, or even a month!
Break down your rooms by importance and start with the one that’s most urgent and important to you. For example, you might want to start with the kitchen and bedrooms since you spend the most time in those rooms.
Once you’re done with these more vital spaces, then you can turn your focus to ones that get less foot traffic, such as the laundry room.
3. Start With the Biggest Pieces and Work Around Those
When it comes to home decor options, you don’t want to start off with the smaller pieces. You might amass a good collection, but then figure out that the dining table you want (and fits) completely clashes with everything else. Or it might even take up so much space there’s none left for half your decor pieces.
When you start with the biggest piece in the room, it’ll be easier to envision what would compliment it.
You’ll most likely spend the most money on these big pieces, so that’s why it’s also important to start with those first. By getting those out of the way, you’ll be able to budget better for the smaller ones.
4. Get an Expert’s Opinion
If you feel lost at any time, don’t be afraid to get an expert’s opinion. Many furniture stores actually have free or low-cost design services, which can really help you create a beautiful home.
Considering you’re already buying your furniture from them, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to employ their design services as well. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone!
