Decorating your home can be a very intimidating and scary experience. It means making decisions about floors, colours, sofas, beds, bathrooms, etc. Changes that represent a major commitment and if you get them wrong they're very hard to conceal or reverse.
No wonder most of us play it safe with neutral colours and schemes. This is fine if you’re content with that, but most of us have a designer inside just bursting to get out. Here are some simple ways of allowing your true creativity to flow.
Always start with something you love that is special. You will find that the rest of your decisions will follow from that. When you’re choosing the colour scheme and furniture don’t rush in. Instead get all your samples together first for floors, curtains, wall paint, coffee table, sofas, and look at them together. If you are happy that everything works in unison then plan ahead.
For your home to look complete try keeping the style consistent throughout. Whether you have chosen a modern or rustic theme keep it consistent throughout your room or home.
Another great way of sprucing up your home is by introducing wallpaper or coloured paint.
You don’t need to cover an entire room — instead add it to certain walls as this will add an extra dimension and colour to your living space.
