Whether you are brightening a single room or redecorating an entire home, you are facing the same challenges interior decorators address every day. 

Nowadays marketplace provides so many options for the consumer that settling on just the right choice can be daunting, and knowing that the selections you are making will be part of your home for years makes the process even more intimidating.  

Learn here a few simple tips from professional decorators that should make your decorating project easy, enjoyable and satisfying.

Start from the beginning.

Every room has a focal point - an architectural feature, a favorite piece of furniture, or a special view. You should make that special point the centerpiece of the room, and decorate around it.  This can suggest the color palette for the room, the style of the furnishings, and the mood the room will project.

Let it flow. 

The colors and styles of one room should flow into adjoining spaces naturally.  It does not mean that every space in your home should look the same, but you want to avoid the “showroom” sense where every room is separate unto itself.  If you choose a marshy green carpet for your dining room, you may want to use that same green as an accessory color n the adjoining kitchen.  Likewise, if a bedroom is decorated in vivid blues, those tones should be reflected in the bathroom as well.

Mix, don’t match. 

Use varying shades of colors and avoid attempting to make exact matches in flooring, walls, window treatments and upholstery. So, a room where everything is the same color can have a rigid, sterile appearance.  Moreover, perfect matches are almost impossible because of the variations in surfaces, textures and lighting. But, by using lighter and darker shades of the same color in a room, you create depth, variation and definition in the room.
