Tips and Tricks for Decorating Your New Home
July 14, 2014
So you found the house that fits your needs perfectly, and your New York City movers got you all unpacked and settled in. But now you’re seeing all your furniture and how it does or doesn’t fit, and it’s time for some redecoration! There are all sorts of things you can do to make a house feel like a home. Start with this short list and re-decorate with style and thriftiness.
Figure out your “style.” Talk it over with your spouse or roommates, look at websites like Pinterest, and figure out what sort of style you like. One of the most important elements of good design is consistency. You want your home to have a similar feel from room to room. Knowing what sort of style you’re going for narrows down the choices and will help you make decorating decisions more easily.
Take it one room at a time. Thinking about redecorating your entire house will be too overwhelming. Instead, try to knock out one at room at a time. After all, you don’t have to make-over the whole house in one week. So take your time and really search out what you’re after. Plan out the color schemes and be patient.
Go DIY. Between secondhand shops and Youtube, you can transform the cosmetics of your home all by yourself. Again, doing it yourself might take a little patience. Searching the thrift shops is more time consuming than a trip to Ikea. But you could save thousands in the long-run. And if you’re doing things like stripping wallpaper or re-painting, you can always entice some friends with some free dinner!
