My top tips for interior design:
1) Keep it simple.
Most folks i know don't have extravagant show homes, we change diapers in them, clean up the kids messes, prepare meals on the fly and just want to be at peace in our roost. A few well thought out details here and there can mean the difference between an organized, tranquil looking setting and having the place feel cluttered and unkempt.
The best interior design will accentuate the style of the home and the personality of the owners. Look for elements that:
- are functional
- fit the space & your color scheme
- express your family's character
2) Collaborate with your spouse.
Sometimes it's not easy getting two people on the same page about the home decorating. You'll rearrange the furniture only to find out that now your husband doesn't like the view from his favorite chair.
Working with your spouse can be fun and trying at the same time. Nina and I both had to make a lot of compromises after we were married. We tried hard to find things we both liked. Even if the new table we got wasn't my favorite, we both liked it and for us the peace was more important than the piece.
3) Set a budget.
Finding things you like and that fit well in the space are much more important than spending a bunch of cash on a pricey antique or stylish new piece of furniture. Save up for that one nice piece you want and it'll mean even more since you worked hard to save the cash.
Most importantly, don't go into debt to decorate or redecorate your home. A bunch of red ink in your personal finances is never attractive. Find simple, inexpensive ideas online like the ones from Right@Home at the link below.
