REDECORATING When you think of redecorating redecorating your home, do you conjure conjure up visions of a depleted bank account and an end result that says, "look but don't touch?" Redecorating your home doesn't have to be a massive, expensive or frustrating experience. experience. It's a project that should be enjoyed - not anticipated like a trip to the dentist. Ideally, Ideally, the end result will reflect your tastes and lifestyle; you should be comfortable and happy happy with it -- regardless of whether > you spent several thousand dollars or a few hundred hundred -- or whether you hired an interior designer or did it yourself. yourself. You can also decorate effectively effectively on a small scale, by buying a few simple things -- like accent cushions and lamps -- to perk up the appearance of a room and still keep your budget budget intact. Also keep in mind that decorating decorating isn't something that has to be done all at once; it's something that can take place indefinitely over time as you continue to seek and gather those special items to compliment compliment existing furniture and enhance enhance your home. Consider Lifestyle and Budget Instead of being swayed strictly by what's trendy, try to determine what types of furnishings furnishings would best suit your home, lifestyle and budget. Careful planning is important. Be realistic about your needs and limitations. For example, if you need a new sofa and chairs and they're within your financial financial means, buy them -- but first consider the size of your room and the look you want to achieve. Don't buy something that will dwarf your existing furniture or vice-versa. Carefully consider how you want to use the room in the future. future. Will it be used merely for entertaining, or will it be an everyday family gathering place? If it's a family room used to accommodate an active, growing growing family and pets, then fragile fragile pieces of furniture -- like glass end tables or dainty, hand-painted lamps arc not practical. Delicate fabrics will be impractical as well. Choose fabrics that arc durable and can be easily cleaned. The same applies to carpeting. It's also a good idea to choose a carpet color that won't show lint as much, particularly if you have pets which shed. If you want a warmer, earthy look, consider choosing darker colored fabrics with some texture. You can pick up your color scheme in the walls, but be careful not to choose anything too overpowering. Consult home decorating books and magazines for ideas or talk to a decorating consultant. consultant. Furniture showrooms arc also a good source for ideas.

When choosing new pieces, you don't have to avoid mixing and matching things you normally normally wouldn't associate with each other (like florals and stripes, for instance). But be sure to consult an expert if you're not quite sure of the effect effect such a combination will have. It's also a good idea to look around for "real life" examples of what you have in mind before before you make a purchase. After After all, it's pretty difficult to envision how things will look based on small, sample swatches swatches of material. If you're buying a chair to compliment an existing couch or vice-versa, take a cushion or slipcover with you as you shop to compare colors and sec how the items would look together. Perking Up a Room If new furniture isn't in your game plan at the moment, but you'd like to perk up your existing pieces, consider simple simple treatments like new, colorful colorful cushions, a colorful throw or a cosy slipcover. Other accent accent items, like a large, unusual unusual vase or a favorite family heirloom can do a great deal to help enhance a room. Groupings Groupings of special items -- like a collection -- can also create an interesting focal point for a room. Traditionally, fireplaces have provided focal points for many rooms. Today they can be enhanced with many different different types of finishes to achieve a variety of looks. A mantle- piece is an ideal showplacc for collections or treasured family heirlooms - regardless of the style of your fireplace.
