Hello, everyone! I am Frank, welcome to my radio program Decorating with

good taste. I want to share with you some tips that can help you improve your

decoration project.


4/7


Tip 1: Have in mind what kind of furniture you want to use. Try to keep it small and

simple. Don`t buy too much furniture. It will make your room look big and bright.

Tip 2: Use bright colors such us green or yellow to decorate your walls. These

colors give your room more energy and vitality. Avoid colors such as brown or red

because they are too eccentric.

Tip 3: Small accessories like lamps, clocks, mirrors and even a small plant can make

your room unique. Avoid buying big objects to decorate your room because they

attract too much attention.

Tip 4: Wallpapers are a good option to decorate easy and fast. They can be very

expensive, but they protect your walls better and have beautiful designs. Paint

can be toxic sometimes.

I hope these tips can help you decorate your spaces. And remember, if there isimagination, there are new ideas!

Good bye! See you in our next radio program!
