Decorating Tips</h1>
<div align="Left">
When you are to transitioning from apartment living to buying your first house, the task can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many people feel having a “whole” house to decorate is the most overwhelming part.</div>
<div align="Left">
There are many decorating tips that can make the move less taxing.</div>
<div align="Left">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48hxsU993OWxF8BvQy6GeEswwkvUynx4vr_63V67X8iH6S-lXvwJyviAAH1B_6f_97_2FREOhF0tuKwaWsYp6-Wwx24PA2EF4ADrEuLXexeGOEhxi1Y60mTuV0FthhuXHyjlSQcr3OXQ/s1600/Decorating+Tips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="645" data-original-width="1030" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48hxsU993OWxF8BvQy6GeEswwkvUynx4vr_63V67X8iH6S-lXvwJyviAAH1B_6f_97_2FREOhF0tuKwaWsYp6-Wwx24PA2EF4ADrEuLXexeGOEhxi1Y60mTuV0FthhuXHyjlSQcr3OXQ/s640/Decorating+Tips.jpg" width="640" /></a>Often the furniture you have been living with is a collection of hand-me-downs and bargain basement finds combined with a few good pieces you’ve purchased. The apartment remained very neutral because of landlord restrictions. And the fact you didn’t want to put a lot of time and effort into a place that you knew you would be leaving.</div>
<div align="Left">
You now have a house larger than the apartment…where do you start?</div>
<div align="Left">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Decorating Tip: Hire an interior decorator.</span></b></div>
<div align="Left">
This is a great idea<span> </span><b>if<span> </span></b>you have discussed with the decorator how much input you intend to have in the process ahead of time. Her decorating tips and expertise will certainly be welcomed. However, remember you are the one living in the house…the final decisions should be yours.</div>
<div align="Left">
There are many horror stories about the decorator who arrives and announces that absolutely everything must be thrown out and you must start from scratch.</div>
<div align="Left">
<b>Is this really necessary?</b></div>
<div align="Left">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Decorating Tip: If the decorator advises you to throw everything out , the first thing that goes is the decorator!</b></span><b></b></div>
<div align="Left">
Unless it is<span> </span><i>your</i><span> </span>choice to throw out everything, it is seldom necessary or realistic. Unless your taste has changed 180 degrees, many existing pieces can be incorporated into your new home.</div>
<div align="Left">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>ew gives the room personality. Your “hand-me-downs” can be great accent or conversation pieces.</b></span><b></b></div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
Take a careful, and honest, look at the hand-me-downs. Some pieces may be kept because they have sentimental value. Some may be kept because they will serve the purpose until you can afford the new pieces you’ve chosen.</div>
<div align="Left">
New homes tend to be more open with one room flowing right into the next. Older homes have more defined spaces, with definite delineations between rooms.</div>
<div align="Left">
With this in mind, choose a color scheme. The wide-open floor plans of newer homes may require you to carry one color through several rooms if there isn’t a logical place to stop one color and start another.</div>
<div align="Left">
Colors create specific sensations in all of us, so choose colors you are comfortable with and not whatever colors are the latest trend.</div>
<div align="Left">
<br clear="all" /><b>Which comes first…fabric or wall colors?<span> </span></b><br /><b>Great question!</b></div>
<div align="Left">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div align="Left">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Decorator Tip: The general consensus among decorators is selecting a paint palette is less of a hassle if the fabrics are chosen first.</span></b></div>
<div align="Left">
It is much easier to find a paint color to go with a fabric than to find fabric to go with paint. You can always have paint colors custom mixed… a textile manufacturer won’t change a fabric color just for you!</div>
<div align="Left">
If you have already decided on a fabric or need to use existing upholstery pieces,<span> </span><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051107020938/http://www.home-decorating-mentor.com/decorating-ideas.html">read idea #3 On the Decorating Ideas page</a><span> </span><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />Remember, your walls will be the largest field of color and have the greatest impact. Choose two or three coordinating colors for the trim and ceilings.<span> </span><span style="color: blue;"><b>No, ceilings DO NOT have to be white!</b></span></div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Decorating Tip: A good rule of thumb when combining colors is to use your primary color 65-70%, your secondary color15-20% and your accent color the remainder.</span></b></div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
<br clear="all" /><b><span style="color: blue;">Decorating Tip that saves frustration: Prioritize your rooms.</span></b></div>
<div align="Left">
If you can’t decorate the whole house all at once (and few of us can!), list them from the most to the least important. Can’t decide on a “must do first” room? Where do you spend the most time? Usually, it’s the family room or living area. It would make sense to start there.</div>
<div align="Left">
For each room you intend to decorate, ask yourself</div>
<ul>
<li>what that room will be used for.</li>
<li>How much traffic will it get?</li>
<li>What kind of natural light will it receive?</li>
<li>Is there already a focal point (fireplace, Palladian windows etc) or do you need to create one?</li>
<li>What special pieces do you already have that could be incorporated into the new decorating plan?</li>
</ul>
<div align="Left">
Once you answer all these questions, you are ready to make your new choices.</div>
<div align="Left">
<b>Write your plan down and take it with you when you shop. Don’t be influenced by the latest trends if they don’t fit in with your plan. At the same time, don’t be so rigid that you can’t bend a little to accommodate a great find.</b></div>
<div align="Left">
If you haven’t already done so, read the Decorating Ideas pages. They provide a basic plan for tackling your decorating project.</div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
<br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><b><span style="color: blue;">Decorating Tip:</span><span> </span>Organize your samples and ideas.</b></div>
<div align="Left">
After you've spent the time to collect paint chips, fabric samples, design ideas from magazines and sketched out floor plans, it's helps to keep everything organized.</div>
<div align="Left">
Your samples and ideas are of no use if you can't put your hands on them when you need them!</div>
<div align="Left">
</div>
<div align="Left">
<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20051107020938/http://homedec.nostawdap.hop.clickbank.net/"><b>The Deco-Organizer is a great tool.</b></a><span> </span>It provides a system that easily allows you to record all your information and measurements and keep them right at your fingertips.</div>
<div align="Left">
No more hunting for all the little samples and slips of paper you wrote measurements on! It's an easily portable organizer ready to go anywhere.</div>
<div align="Left">
<b>Everything is right here in one binder!</b></div>
