Sometimes after years of looking at the same wallpaper and same décor items
you want to see a change. A lot of
people are eager to start redecorating their room, but quickly give up their
project because they feel overwhelmed. Most
people get overwhelmed with their project because they didn't do enough
planning to flesh it out. Don't let
yourself get overwhelmed with your décor project, remember to keep these tips
in mind when you start to re-do your room.
Keep the big picture in mind
When you go into your decorating project you should start out with a
generic outlook of how you want your room to look. You should know every major change you want
to make in advance, but don't stress about small details like the vase you want
to use or the designer
rugs you want to put down.
Research, research, research
Some people know that they want to change the look of their room, but
they don't know exactly how they want to change it. The best way to come up with a new look is to
see what's already out there and get ideas from things other people have done. Check out home décor sites like Freshhome and Better Homes and Gardens, and go on
Pinterest and Tumblr to search for tags like #DIYhome, #homedecor, and
#roommakeover.
Budget first, then decorate
It isn't uncommon to scrap a big home décor project because your plans
are too expensive. A lot of people get
ahead of themselves and outline the changes they want to make without checking
to see if they can afford it first. If
you take time to make a décor budget, you'll be able to develop a redecorating
plan that you love and can afford.
Keep space in mind
Some people get a little too carried away with their redecorating project
and they end up filling their room with furniture and other décor items to go
with their theme. You don't want your
space to be too full of things since it'll make your room look smaller than it
actually is.
