Styling Your House
There are so many different styles such as traditional, modern, farmhouse, minimalistic, contemporary, rustic…the list goes on and on! So this will be the hardest decision you will have to make.
We all have to start somewhere, so pick one room and continue from there. Maybe start with your bedroom, one of the most personal rooms in your home that you will spend a lot of time in.
Since you already have your home decor style chosen, you’ll also want to come up with a colour palette for your room. Remember, your colour palette should reflect the decor style you are going for. The minimalistic design style often has white, black, and neutral colours while Boho has lots of jewel colours such as ruby, sapphire, and emerald.
A little advice never hurt anyone. There are tons of home decor bloggers and Instagram influencer profiles out there. Plus, nothing inspires and motivates us more to update our home than by seeing what others have done.
Once you have a plan, start with the bigger pieces first, this will make all the little decor pieces easier to find in the end. Start with the most important pieces in each room. A sofa for your living room, a bed frame for your bedroom, the table for your dining room, after that, everything else will start to fall into place.
This could include photos, as we just talked about, scented candles, important family heirlooms, or even just your kid’s artwork! All of these things can take your home to the next level and make it even more personal.
Don’t be afraid to start your gallery wall now and add to it over time. Get the foundation of it started now, such as the picture frames, and eventually add more as your family, interests, or the like grows.
