If you just moved into a new home or you are looking to revamp the one you’re already in, you may be looking to give your house a brand new identity. Here are some tips on giving the inside of your home a new look:
Research
Look for interior decorations of homes that interest you through the internet or magazines. If you see something that really grabs your attention, print it out or cut out the clipping. You can use these for inspiration later.
Assess
Once you find an idea that you like go to the rooms that you plan on re-decorating and assess what it would take to get to what you would really like. Remember, your room doesn’t have to look exactly like the one in the photo; it is simply a way to get an idea. Redecorating your home should be your style and not someone else’s, so just have fun with it.
Clear the slate
Clear your room of everything and visualize what you want everything to look like. Once you’ve done that, prepare the room to be painted. Remember to maintain your personality and paint the room whatever color you like.
Starting over
After the paint is dried and you’re satisfied with your work, start bringing your furniture in one-by-one. Find a place that’s practical but also a spot that gives your room a refreshed feel.
Accessorize
The little things make all the difference and are the real things that change the aura of the room. If you love sports, put different types of memorabilia around the room. If you’re a movie buff, hanging old reels will give your room a cool movie theater look. Whatever applies to you, create the feel and look you want. Even the smallest things can be the most interesting.
