Packing and moving into a new home is pretty exciting and overwhelming. But the next part is equally exciting and frightening, and that is decorating your new home. Everyone wants to design and decorate their new place in a different way than the old one. They want it to be more sophisticated, luxurious, and cozy. They don’t want to do anything that they will regret later.
Decorating your new home is super-exciting, but if you don’t plan for it in advance, you can create a mess. In this blog, we will learn about some practices that will help you to decorate your home easily without having any regrets.
1. Deciding where to start
The first thing you need to do is to decide where you want to start decorating. If you don’t plan out for this and start with moving furniture into rooms, it will be exhausting.
That is why deciding which room you want to attack first is important. The experts say that you should start decorating your home by first decorating the heavy traffic rooms. It means the room where you will entertain guests and spend the most time, like a dining room or living room.
Once you decide, stick with it until you are finished and then move on to another task.
2. Get rid of clutter
During home shifting, we sometimes pack everything, even the things we don’t need anymore. While unpacking and decorating your new home, get rid of pieces so that your new home doesn’t look cluttered.
When you remove unnecessary things, you will have more space, and you can have any interior design that you want to.
3. Paint first
If you want to change the paint of the rooms or want to touch up, it is best to do before you place your furniture. Otherwise, you will have to cover them up or move them again, which is just moving in circles.
So, according to the furniture and theme of the house and room, give the walls a nice little color.
4. The furniture doesn’t have to match
When you go to retail stores, they convince you to buy furniture or other pieces in a set. But many experts say that you should fight the urge to buy everything in pairs to match things. It is because when you buy things in pairs, it gives a feeling of a generic furniture store. It makes your home look boring and dull.
A few matching pieces are fine. But if you want to have a colorful and vibrant home, go for pieces that are different but complement each other. Also, buy a piece of furniture or painting that shows your personality.
5. Consider buying light-weight and multi-purpose furniture
If you are someone who tends to move a lot, invest in some light-weight and multi-purpose furniture. Don’t think that light-weight furniture has low quality. That is certainly wrong, nowadays, you can get optimal furniture with minimum weight. It is best as moving them is quite easy.
Moreover, for people who have kids, "multi-purpose furniture is a blessing". It gives their kids enough space to play and you can also use it for other purposes like sleeping or so on.
6. Add accessories to rooms to give it a personality
After you have decided where to start, and where to put the furniture and painted the walls, it’s time to accessorize the home. Without accessories like paintings, wall-art, plants, and photos, the house will look empty. Add your favorite decorative pieces, whether it is lights or wall-art or so on to give your house with a personality.
You can even hang posters on your walls. Motivational posters or posters from your favorite TV show can really boost your mood when required.
Finally, enjoy your home, keep it clean and fresh and light scented candles and relax and your new house will become your home.
