It can take time and creativity to design your perfect room. If it is your first time decorating, there are some key tips to help you along. There are some very basic things to get you started.

1) The first thing to look at is the personalities that are in the house. If it’s just you living in the house, you can go wild with whatever you like. If you and your flatmate or partner has varying preferences, this can cause problems. Be prepared to compromise when making decisions on design and colour.

2) To get a good idea of themes and colours that you like, have a look in magazines and interior design journals. It can be hard to get creative and form ideas when you are looking at blank walls so these magazines should help.

3) The colours of the room will set the tone for the space so really take your time on that one. If there are any colours that you really don’t like, don’t use them. Pick colours that will compliment your furniture if you have bought it already or want to reuse some that you have. You can draw upon some of the colours in fabrics you will use in the room. Make sure you buy bed linen that complements the colour of the walls.

4) It is important to position your furniture wisely so that you do not overfill the room. Making a room look and feeler smaller is not a good idea. Move the furniture around the room until you are happy with it.

5) You can turn a house into a home by adding some cleverly placed accessories like candles or lamps. Add extra colour and texture to your room by using plants and flowers. Not only are they good for the air around you but they can make a room feel more comfortable. Don’t be afraid to make your room look lived in, adding personal touches will make you feel more comfortable at home.

Don’t let decorating stress you out. Just find a style that suits you and have fun experimenting with colour and furnishings until you have a room that compliments your lifestyle.
