Mastering Interior Decorating

The best way to go about decorating today to keep things clear
and clean. Less is better in this modern style of decorating.

For years, most people believed that they had to hire a
professional interior decorator to decorate their home.

Today, however, people are more involved with the decorating of
their homes and prefer to have a lot more to say about it, and
have the home reflect their own tastes.

And it is true, you do not need to have a degree in art or
design in order to decorate your home. And you do not need to
hire an expensive decorator.

If you want to decorate yourself, keep the ideas basic and
simple and you can't go wrong. You do not have to furnish your
home with outrageously expensive furniture and materials to make
it lovely and comfortable.

The most important concepts when designing the interior of your
home is the use and function of each piece, and to make sure
that they are pleasing to the eye.

You can do the interior decorating of your home simply and
easily if you follow some simple steps to make your home more
beautiful and more functional.

1. Clear out. Keep the interior clean and simple by getting rid
of anything extraneous. Old items you no longer use or furniture
that has outlived its use fullness should be discarded.

2. Make sure the rooms are current. Set aside a room or storage
place for all out of season items, such as Christmas decorations
in summer or summer items in December.

3. If you have small rooms, you should consider changing any
furniture that is large and cumbersome. Nothing makes a room
look smaller than large heavy, heavy furniture.

4. In modern design, less is more, so get rid of your
knick-knacks and bric-a-brac. Too many pictures, statues and
other paraphernalia just say old fashioned.

5. If you have old carpets, you should replace them and if you
don't have carpets (especially in the living room), you should
install them.
