For some people, interior design is something that comes quite naturally. For others, it is something that
they think is better left for those who are naturals at it. The following guide will assist those who have
difficulties and give inspiration to those with natural skills in this area.
Set the Mood. Figure out what mood you're trying to set and use that as the basis for your color choices.
If you want it to be relaxing or calming, consider using light and cool colors like blues and greens. Your
color choices and your choice of furniture should all be based on what you're trying to accomplish with
the look and feel of the room.
Add some Artwork. A nice piece of art can
really make a room look "finished." Make sure
you choose a piece of art work that goes with
the colors and feel of the room. You don't want
it to compete with other things in the room for
attention.
Be aware of space. If you go crazy with a room
it might end up getting cluttered. No matter
how nice looking and well decorated a room is,
if there isn't enough space to move around no
one will even bother to go in it.
Draperies. If you have small windows and
would like to make them look bigger, hang
drapery near the top of the ceiling to elongate
your windows. By hanging the rods near the
ceiling and having the drapes hang to the floor;
it gives the window the effect that it is actually
bigger than what it is.
Take your sofa cushion shopping with you. It might feel silly, but taking along part of your sofa can save
you a lot of time any money. Bring it with you when shopping for curtains or other decorating materials.
This way, you will be able to ensure that everything matches.
Avoid using any design trends that are currently popular. These trends are often expensive, and they'll be
out of style fairly quickly. Go with something timeless that you think looks good. Don't let what current
trends say are good influence how you want your place to look. Follow your heart, not a trendy magazine.
Clean up. Before starting any interior design, it is a good idea to make sure everything is very clean. Your
carpet may look terrible, but it may not need to be replaced. It is possible that it just needs a good
cleaning! Get everything cleaned up before deciding on what to do next, and you may save yourself
money and time.
No matter your skill level when it comes to interior design, you should now have some great ideas that
you can use in your vacation homes. Get started today making a dreary house into a home that you feel
comfortable in and proud of. You will be pleased that you took the time to read the guide and then put it
to use!
