To me it sounds like you’re looking for rules. So many decorators go on tv and tout what you should and shouldn’t do. Pfft. I say you do what you think looks good. What is pleasing to YOUR eye. You have to live there. Your house isn’t a show room.
My rule is that I pour my personality into my home. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my home and have had friends ask me to help them with theirs. I give them basic ideas but mostly I think they should use their own creativity and pour their personality into their homes.
One thing I personally **** is a very well decorated room but bare walls. ICK!! Photographs, artwork, etc. are a must in my opinion. But that is just MY opinion.
Don’t always rely on those supposed professional decorators. I once saw a professional decorator on tv paint hay onto a living room wall to give it texture!!! It was terrible! Professionals decorate with their own personal style so you must take everything they say with a grain of salt.
To start with, choose three colors and stick with them. Each picture should have its own space. Don’t clutter. Do keep clean, sunshiney and airy. Enjoy!
Do use colors & styles that appeal to you
Stay within your own budget
Stay away from clutter & overdoing accessories
When 2 rooms connect,(one flows into another), best to use same colors to guide the eyes in creating a smooth flow…
Price compare when buying anything new,high cost doesnt always mean its built the best..
If you change your decor often use colors on floors & walls that can be transitioned easily..
