Decorating successfully includes finding out your needs, what should be improved, and creating a comfortable practical style all your own. Before you begin any endeavor you first need to find out where you are, what is your ideal, and figure out how much you can actually afford to do. It’s also important to know your specific rental guidelines and limitations.
Here are some questions to ask yourself to understand where you are and what you are planning to do with you living space.
How long do you plan to stay in your present home?
What type of life do you lead ? (entertain guests, late nights, holiday guests)
What do you do in each room ?
Do you have children or planning to start a family ? What are their ages ?
How much space do you need for leisure activities? (office, study, sewing, reading, TV).
Is there enough sleeping space for everyone and any guests ?
Do you have enough storage ?
Do you know your style ?
Count your rooms and list multi-purpose uses (example, homework, bills, computer).
Write down the furniture you currently own, what you like and what you dislike. Be ready to get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want ! (Feng Shui).
Have you considered a color scheme, or do you have a favorite color.
List color any pieces of furniture, fabrics or finds that would be a good start to develop a color scheme.
How much do you want to spend either monthly or annually on your interior environment ?
After answering these questions you should have a fairly clear picture of what you are working with or without. Use this outline to help you establish your living style and plan.
