Decide on a budget at the beginning of you project. If your funds are limited, decorate your rooms one at a time.
Buy items that will have the most pronounced effect on the room first - like carpet, furniture and wallpaper. Accessories can be added later.
Keep a scrapbook of decorating ideas, wallpaper samples, colors schemes, etc.
Be sure to create a personalized room, not an imitation of someone else's. Your personality should shine through, as well as your lifestyle.
Buy wallpaper, fabric and floor coverings for their practical as well as decorative effect. Keep in mind kids, pets, lifestyle.
Make a ceiling the fifth wall of the room. Remember walls can be one color or pattern, ceilings another.
To mix textures in a room, make sure there is a common denominator, like a common color.
DON'T:
Fall for fads in style and design. You'll tire of them quickly.
Buy products because they are a bargain. Always make your furnishings an investment in the value of your home.
Fill every inch of space. Leave some breathing room for favorite items to stand out.
Use too many similar textures in a room. They can cancel each other out.
Be afraid to experiment with different colors, textures and kinds of wallpapers.
