Many people dream of owning homes- not just homes but beautiful homes. Seeing those beautiful homes in pictures and TV may make one think that decoration is as easy as Pi. Not so fast- there are some factors considered when decorating a house? I will take you through some of the most important guidelines you should follow if you share in the dream of having easy time decorating your house and loving it;
Define Your Budget
Money is a major factor when considering home decoration on your own. Before you even start on the initial stages, having an idea of how much are you willing to spend for your house decoration? Having this in mind, you can now start working and selecting the most appropriate materials for your house. Practically, considering your budget helps you to reduce the hassles that are likely to encounter when buying house accessories. Shortages in budget while decorating your house can do more harm than good. So it is important to make sure that you lay out an appropriate budget that you can meet.
Consider your personality
FIY, it is YOUR house you are decorating. So, your interests come first before any other person’s. The aim of house decoration is to make everything depict your personality. Suppose you will be living with your family then asking each of them about their preferences too may be important. In the end, the house acts as the mirror of people living within the home so you must carefully analyze which personality you want your house decoration to depict.
Take one step at a time
One huge mistake most designers keep stumbling on especially when trying to cut costs is taking on too many redesigning projects at once. Many new homeowners may tend to fall into the temptation of redoing the décor of every room at once. In as much as it may be tempting to be able to feel like you’ve achieved your goals, you wallet will appreciate if you take it slower.
It is recommended you live in a space for a short while before making any rush decisions on massive changes to the interior. As time goes by, and you begin using the room, you get to have a better feel for its quirks.
Colour
Colour to a house is like salt to stew- too much and the stew cannot be eaten, too little and the stew is almost tasteless
Before you even decide to work with paints, ensure you pick a colour you love. You can do a little research on colours if you are not sure of your taste and preferences. After narrowing it down to a few choices, feel free to pick up a few samples of each. Go ahead and paint small squares of each sample colour on each wall of the room. This allows you to carefully analyze which one you like most.
Decorating your home can eventually be a wow experience if you take your time to do it.
