Best Decoration Tips For Beginners
Having an empty canvas can become a headache if you are not so sure where to start. It is not as easy as going shopping and getting all the furniture or decoration elements that you want.
For everyone who loves decorating places and wants to show off as a professional, here are some useful tips!
Empty home? Don't start in the furniture store
This tip follows the line of what we mentioned before. Having an empty home does not mean that you need to go straight away to a furniture store to buy a dining table or a sofa. If you do this without a previous plan, then you will end up with several items that probably will not fit together in your place.
It is necessary to take into account measurements. A sofa that is too large or too small is going to compromise the rest of the decor. The same goes for the dining table.
It is known that in a furniture store, everything looks splendid, but that does not mean it will do in your home!
Know your measurements and create a floorplan
Now, for the next step, you will need a measuring tape, paper, and pen (or a notepad). It is for measuring the rooms that you will decorate. If you have the chance of getting the plans of the house, much better.
To create your plan, measure the length and width of the room, take also into account the ceiling height, stairs, columns, and any other thing that can affect the decoration decisions. Take the opportunity to measure the windows for when you want to buy curtains.
You can draw your floorplan on a sheet of paper, in drafting software like AutoCAD, or an app on your phone, (you can find some good options for Android and iPhone). It does not matter what method you prefer, in the end, all you need is a clear view of the entire home.
Then, you can start experimenting with the location of the elements you need according to each space. Play with the placement of the furniture, until you find what works better for you and your family. It is important to take into account your lifestyle. For example, if you enjoy cooking and having guests regularly, then a spacious dining table seems necessary. If you work from home, you will need to place a desk in a spot where you feel comfortable.
We all have different lifestyles and desires, and every home needs to be adapted to what we want and need.
Need inspiration? Copy the Pros
It is okay if you do not have much idea on how to decorate a room. The good thing is that you can find some good inspiration in magazines and on the internet. Try to find images of rooms with a similar distribution of furniture as the one you drew in your floorplan, and that match your style. Then take those ideas with you to a shopping day!
We hope that this article has given you a clearer idea about what to do with an empty home. Do not forget that the first step is to measure every corner, and the last one is to add little details to enhance the rooms. Always remember that all the decoration process should be fun, so enjoy the road as much as the result!
