Home Décor can be
quite an overwhelming task
with all those
measurements, planning, wall colors, ceiling colors,
type, color and size of furniture, furnishing colors
and patterns, size of rugs, storage areas, cabinets
and so many things to keep in mind. It is an expensive
task too. To make home décor easier and more
manageable, it is advisable to make a time and budget
schedule and decorate your home step by step.
Narrow down your focus to one corner at a time
and complete your home décor as a series of projects that
are not too taxing on your time, energy and budget. This will
also be rewarding as completion of one project will relieve you
of that portion of home décor and motivate you with success and
the beautiful change.
While doing the entire room at once seems to be a daunting task,
making a cozy corner in the living area as the focal point of
the room may be achieved by placing a coffee table, chairs
around it and arranging flowers in a vase on the table. Here are
some tips for step-by-step home décor:
Choose a really attractive art piece or
feature to make it the focus of attention in the room.
Lend the dramatic touch and personality to
your room by setting your focal point around the piece you
have chosen.
Every year, invest in one single but visually
appealing piece of furniture.
A fashionable sofa in attractive colors with
pillows and a throw in complimentary colors can add new life
to your living room.
Improvise a long wall or an unused corner by
placing an antique chest or armoire there and beautify them
using a collection of displayable china, glass or pottery.
Drawers and shelves are always needed to
store linens and many other household items and can be carved
out in any unused area and long-forgotten corners of the home.
Remove the clutter that gets collected on the
table and keep the items needed in drawers. A study lamp or a
personal computer, a pen stand, a paperweight and a small
notepad should be enough for daily use. Keep it simple and
organized.
Keep the dining room simple too. It should be
friendly, warm and its furnishings should be versatile that
can be style according to the occasion and changing trends.
Try flexible dark colored furnishings that
can be brightened up with using sparse modern art accessories.
Light-finished wood can be infused with new
life by adding greenery or ceramics and glass collectibles.
Be as creative as you like in your master
bedroom that makes your feel pampered, happy and relaxing.
Invest in a really good bed and make it the center of
attention.
Other features of the bedroom should be
rather kept muted and dress the bed with stylish linen in
beautiful hues, prints and patterns and spare functional
accessories.
Do-it-yourself features such as sewing up
upholstery for your home or giving a new look to an old
ottoman or a table and making a stylish lampshade not only
makes your home look better but also give you an artist's
satisfaction. Try them out.
