Home decorating is a time when everyone thinks they can call themselves an interior designer. Whether you are a lawyer, a sales associate, or even work at the local supermarket, redesign is a chance to channel our inner design and take on a new profession.

However, not everyone has an untouchable eye for design. But if you follow these simple tips, you will avoid a complete decoration disaster.

Don’t throw things out

Moving to a new home is a chaotic time. Unpacking boxes can be tedious, exhausting and timely. More often than not, we start a project and stop in the middle. How many times have you said to yourself, “I’ll organize that shelf later” or “I’ll buy a bedside box soon.”

In reality, these are the projects we never really come across. Push yourself to finish the project from the beginning! This way, your shelves will hang on your wall instead of stacked on the kitchen table.

Paint with bright colors

Your room should be a place of self-expression, so why not let it reflect you? Tired of looking at the same dull beige wall over and over again? Go ahead and spice things up by adding a yellow wall to your room! Warm colors are even known to stimulate emotions and enhance positivity. This way you can boost your mood as you add style to your bedroom.

Do not paint before adding furniture

Paints come in all shades and colors and the options are endless. But allow this decision in the end, because you can always match a wall with your sofa or dining table.

Do invest in enlightenment

We know the functional role of lighting in a home or apartment, but it has other equally important roles. Lighting over head or walls can change the very mood of the room. It can already enhance painted walls, and even feel a room smaller or larger than it is.

But make sure you create a lighting plan that considers all three interior lighting – Ambient Lighting, Task Lighting, and Accent Lighting.
