Following are simple, inexpensive starter ideas for decorating or redecorating.
1. When redecorating, combine inviting colors and interesting fabrics and textures.
Mix the traditional with the unexpectedly novel.
2. Before you shop for new furnishings, rearrange what you have.
Artful regrouping will often provide an exciting new look.
3. Group like items together.
That way, they'll have the most impact on a room.
4. Make decorative objects the room's centerpiece.
Items with a reflective quality - glass, mirrors, metal - add distinctive highlights to a room.
5. Spice up the bedroom.
For a romantic look, drape fabric over curtain rods, furniture or the headboard.
6. Make bathrooms appear more spacious.
Remove mats from floors and furry covers from commodes.
7. Always shop for low-maintenance items to add to your interior design.
Make sure items do not require more upkeep than you have the time or money to provide.
8. Select low-maintenance window coverings.
These should both complement the room and be easy to keep clean.
9. When giving a party, choose decorations that carry out a unified theme.
This way, you can both let your personality shine through and create a festive party area.
