Furnishing and decoration should not be viewed as two separate businesses. If you are thinking of decorating or redecorating your home, opt for neutral tones and colors. You might think that’s not a good idea, you just love that red corner cabinet or blue leather sofa and it will fit so well in your living room. The question you need to ask yourself is whether this sofa will look just as good if you change up the decor in that room.
If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on furnishing and decorating your home, try budget. Sand and stain or repaint wooden furniture and fit new drawer and door handles. You’ll be surprised at the difference it can make. If you can’t afford a new sofa, why not have it brought back? If you can’t wrap professionally and aren’t confident enough to do it yourself, then buy a luxury throw.
When it comes to decor, you can make your home look completely different by changing your soft furnishings. A new carpet on a hardwood or laminate floor brightens up a room tremendously. One way to furnish and decorate your home on a budget is to start with your soft furnishings. Buy some new cushions with two-tone or multi-tone covers, then choose one of the colors and use that as a theme for your decoration. If the pillows are a nice blue color, then get blue curtains. Paint your living room a neutral color and have a blue wall or whatever color you chose. You’ll be amazed at the new touch this will add to your existing decor and how easy it is to coordinate the rest of the room with the soft furnishings.
When you’ve decided it’s time to spend money and you have some money to spend, you need to decide what type of furniture you want in your home. For example, do you want a themed look? Some people like a country feel to their furniture while others like the sleek but simple lines of black leather and chrome. It’s all a matter of personal choice. The type of furniture you choose will determine the way you decorate. You don’t want walls and doors clashing with your new sofa. Perhaps the best way to do this is to make some plans before you begin. You don’t need any special drawing skills, you just need an idea of the type of furniture and decoration that you might like.
