How to... The List!

The question...where do I start?
The answer...the list below!


1. Budget

This may seem silly to even mention, however, I have been amazed at the number of clients that contact me AFTER they have made unwise purchases.

2. Needs/Form and Function

Spend some time determining how the space will be used, the floorplan, and who should be involved in the discussion.

3. Color

Color is SO important when designing a space. You should consider natural lighting, artificial light as well as the weather. Yes, the weather. If you live in a region that experiences many gray and gloomy days gray might not be the best choice for a wall color.

4. Style

If you are not sure what your style is, visit google or magazine photos to get an idea of what speaks to you. If you are on pinterest, pin photos and then look for trends in what you pinned.

5. Clean

Make sure you start with a clean space. Declutter and organize before you begin a new design.

6. Redesign

Redesign is an economical way to create a new room. You are able to create a refreshed space spending a minimal amount of money or no money at all!

7. Price

Take the time to do some online window shopping. Price out what you want and where and how to spend your budget. It is awful when you realize that you have spent most of your allotted cash on the wrong items.

And there you have it! This is how to get started. If you are looking for additional decorating tips I just happen to have a book to help you with that! See it right there on the right column? You can purchase it on my website or on Amazon.
