As a recent first-time home owner, I understand the overwhelming feeling of what to do next once all the unpacking and necessary little upgrades like replacing electrical outlets which I tend to label as “bo-ring” are done.

While I don’t consider myself a professional interior decorator, I have been successful in one aspect: I’ve found my “style.” I know this because when I sit in my living room to enjoy something as simple as a glass of water, I still look around and smile. I can honestly say, “I love my house.” My goal today is to help you get to that happy place, too.

In my opinion, the foundation of any interior home décor style is the artwork. The general feeling of the room, the theme, the lines, the colors, even the shapes can all be inspired by the type of artwork you choose to display.

But before you go picking up some random painting that appears nice at first, you must first determine your style. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as shopping for shoes and purses I was shocked at how difficult and different it was shopping for home things. Most likely, you are not the only one living in your house, and most likely, you won′t all have the same taste either.

So here is my number one tip: Sit down with the other member(s) of your household and discuss what you want the inside of your house to look like and feel like, and then, find some common ground. For example, what colors does everyone agree on as calming? And believe it or not, people can have very different opinions on what “neutral” means!

Once you find commonalities, you’re ready to begin decorating. The commonality I chose was mine and my husband’s matching taste in music. One day while blog surfing, I stumbled upon www.postercabaret.com which sells original poster art from live concerts. Eureka! I was able to find incredible concert posters from several of our favorite bands, and at reasonable prices, too. The artwork ranged from bright geometric shapes to wistful watercolors to retro 80s. I framed the posters separately, but against the same neutral background and with complementary frames. Once they were hung with picture hangers, I referenced colors in the posters to match certain pieces within each room. For example, the frame around our giant mirror which hangs over the fireplace is painted the same Homer Simpson yellow as the geometric shapes in the Sandstone Saturday Tour featuring The Killers poster hanging directly across the room.

From this point, I’m confident you’ll hit a stride, and it might even come natural to you! Good luck, and happy decorating.

Is one of more of the rooms in your house smaller than you would like? There are several different home interior tricks to making a small room seem larger than it really is. Changes can be made cosmetically (painting, lighting) as well as physically (furniture, organization) to maximize the appearance of your room.

No matter if the small room is a bedroom, the living room or kitchen, several basic principals need to be followed for the perfect home interior. One – Keep clutter to a minimum. This may mean buying drawer organizers to keep “things” neat in their places in a drawer instead of on a countertop. Buy a bookshelf to stack books up instead of on the floor or table. Limit the amount of knick knacks to only what fits comfortably on your current shelving.

Second home interior tip – Keep only what you need. If you haven’t used it, worn it, opened it, tried it, tasted it or needed it in 18 months, get rid of it. This helps keep the clutter under control also.

To cosmetically alter the appearance of a small room, cover the walls with a light color, such as beige, cream, pale yellow, mauve or pastels. Light colors reflect light from the sun and lamps, thus making a room appear more open and roomier. A white or very pale beige on the ceiling also reflects back more light and enlarging the presence. Dark colors can make a room feel closed in and small from limiting the light sources. Light colored rugs or carpeting also extend the appearance of a larger area.

Tricks that can make a room appear bigger include vertical stripes in wallpaper or paint. If painting, use thin strokes that compliment the wall or furniture colors. Stripes can run from floor to ceiling or start from a chair railing and either go up or down. When choosing wallpaper, choose a small print or thin stripe to use. Small prints are easier to match up also.

Lighting also plays an important role in room’s appearance for the perfect home interior. Use lamps with light colored shades to adequately filter the wattage from the light bulb. Dark shades can hinder reflection, giving a dark appearance, which makes a room poorly lit. Use light bulbs with 75 watts or power or higher, but allows follow guidelines recommended by the lamp manufacturer.

When placing furniture in a small room, try groupings of a large piece followed by a small piece. For example, a tall lamp next to a short backed chair. A tall bookcase next to the couch. If you are limited in budget and have to make do with furniture already bought, arrange it in conversation style as best as possible. A couch with an end table, facing one or two chairs with an end table and lamp.

If your budget allows, buy tall furniture to give the added appearance of height to the walls. Add real or fake plants to sit atop for an extra few inches. Buy a loveseat instead of a full sized couch to save on room. Use narrower end tables or none at all if possible. Floor lamps work well beside or behind a large piece of furniture and reflect the light off the wall and down from the ceiling in one piece.

Buy baskets that can be placed inside shelves or under couches and beds to store extra items and knick knacks. Clutter takes up a lot of precious room, and by maintaining its organization, a room will appear more open.

Interior decorations are often associated with mere interior embellishments. It is difficult to bestow one particular meaning to this art. Renovations can also include rebuilding something within a home as part of interiors. On a practical note, the concept of interior decorations develops from the spirit of individual taste and likings. You can always rely on professional help, provided the person is willing to do her job after a thorough research into your unique taste and lifestyle.
There are so many ways to go about it. Planning in advance will help you with many factors, including your budget and practicality. If you plan on hiring an Interior Decorator, make sure he spends time with you and your family, it is important to make him understand your specific preferences (colors, dislikes, etc). If you plan to do it yourself, it can be one of the most rewarding experiences. After all, you understand your home the best. But, as it quite often happens, you can get lost in the process, so the first step would be planning. Write down the plan, and start with a realistic budget, following are some of the important questions you can ask yourself before you start,

You can make columns with figures once you have estimated the basics,

•  How much are you willing to spend (read BUDGET)?
•  Do you want to start with a room or include the entire house?
•  Which is the room you would like to start with?
•  What is each room used for? Who is going to use the rooms?
•  What is the theme you have in mind? Anything specific?
•  Would you like to change the wall color/paper?
•  Do you prefer low-maintenance interiors or you can do with a high-maintenance décor?
•  Do you have kids? Pets?  Do you want to inculcate any special care or theme for them?
•  Does your budget include new furniture? (Make a list of it)
•  Do you plan to use stuff at home to create your own lamps, hangings etc.?
•  What needs to be changed? Work on things you really want to change, and make a separate ‘Wish List’ for dream things.
•  Concentrate on the ‘Do’ list first.

Although basic, the answer to the above questions will bring the real picture in front of your eyes. This will help you in practically estimating the cost, and stirring your plan in the right direction. When you are through with the plan, start with a room by measuring its area. And write in front of it the things you will be doing—wall paint/paper; change side tables, add lamp, do panels, change rugs, and so on. After surveying each room (or just a room incase you wish to start with one), and practically jotting down things to be done, now tally this list with your original list(anything from the wish list peeping out?).

Now work on details like the wall color schemes or wall paper, try to use a basic color for all rooms for it will help in keeping the uniformity of your home intact (and costs down), and you can work on different combos with it. For wallpapers, you can use the same background color and work on the print and patterns. A combo of wall paint and paper also looks great with a little thought. You can play with colors on the rugs, curtains and lighting. If modern colors appeal to you, you can work in a combination of colors (complimentary) that go with your furniture and curtains. That should help you with getting started…all the best!
