Furnishing and decorating your own home

Asking yourself furnishing and decorating questions

Whether you're decorating a room or a house, a dorm or a castle, the same principle in furnishing and interior decoration applies. You will need to identify and find your own personal preference. There's no shortcut for this process. In order to find your own personal preference as to interior decoration and furnishing, you have to, first, focus in on your likes and dislikes. Do you prefer a casual style or a more artistic and modern look for your home? Would you prefer contemporary interior decoration done or French?

Only when you stop and think about what you like will you be able to decorate and furnish a room or home according to your likes and dislikes. A home should express your own unique taste and preference - not someone else's.

Get inspired with interior decoration pictures and researching on furniture and colors

Go to a newsstand and grab a good copy of a home furnishing magazine or better yet, go and buy yourself a good book on how to decorate a home or furnish a rent apartment. This should get you started soon enough. The next step to decorating and furnishing your home is to find out what colors interests you. Select the color and shade that makes you think of HOME - and then try combining the colors together. There are tons of quizzes and questionnaires online that can help you identify your favorite color…if you don't already have a couple of favorite colors in mind. However, note that sometimes your favorite color may not be the right color and shade to use on your home. For instance, if your favorite colors are lime green, bright sunny yellow and crimson red, it's pretty hard to match the colors together and not make the home look like a circus tent!

Looking at pictures of well-decorated homes can help you identify your personal style as well. Select the pictures that you like and compile them together in a special interior decoration book that you will continue to look through until your home is decorated and furnished. Sometimes, looking at pictures, you'll surprise yourself with the conclusions. From time to time, look through the pictures again and see if you can see similarities - like if most of the homes you like are with mirrors, white or dimly lit. Do the homes look very serene or open?

Take note of the make, color and design of the furniture and decoration of the room that you like

If you're still stumped for answers and ideas, take a look at chairs, sofas, beds, closets, cupboards and try to identify the ones that you like. Note their type and make. Are they wood types mainly brown and earth-toned? Are they bright and cheerful? Or are they white or beige in color? Are they leaning more towards conventional types of furniture, bold and modern or are they classy types of furniture?

Decorating and furnishing your own home is not as hard as people make it out to be. It's only difficult and feels like a chore when you're not sure what you want your home to look like. Once you know what you like and what kind of furniture, color and look you like, decorating and furnishing your own home will be a walk in a park.

Are there any good websites that show compatible color combinations for decorating?

Comment #3 Kim (142.166.242.61) -

Another helpful tip I found that works really well for me as that I watch as many home improvement shows on TV that I can and I've learned a lot of helpful tips and tricks through these programs.

Comment #4 itsmrsjonesy from * -

I find it helpful to look thru magazines and watch decorating shows on television, but what has really helped me the most was to go shopping around at the stores to get a feel for what is out there, I also got a lot of color samples to help me out.

Comment #5 MissCrissy from Lounging on the sofa -

I decorate the way that makes me happy. It may not be what a decorator would approve of, but it's also not anything wrong. I know where to place pictures and what accessories are outdated.

Comment #6 Rammi from UK -

The home must be decorated in a way that males the atmosphere more lively and refreshing.It depends mainly on the color and design of your furniture you've chosen .
