BEGINNER DECORATING TIPS

Go back to Blog

Pinterest, Instagram, home and decor magazines – with all the inspiration out there, you’d think it would be easy to decorate a space. But it doesn’t always feel that way.

The plethora of choices sometimes makes a design project feel even more overwhelming. However, if you break things down into easy to follow steps, you’ll find the process much more manageable and – most importantly – fun!

First, decide on the layout of your space. Where do you want to place the larger furniture? How can you fill in the remaining space with smaller pieces? Next, decide on a colour and pattern scheme. Do you want the room to be mostly white with a few bright pops? Or, do you prefer an eclectic blend of colours and patterns? Lastly, start adding in accessories. Because they’re small, feel free to take a few risks. You can always change items out if they aren’t working or you grow tired of them. Also, don’t be afraid to accessorize slowly. The most beautiful and lived-in feeling rooms are the ones that have been created over time.
