You can design a room on your own, without the help of a professional designer. To do this, you need to know a few simple rules.
Declutter
Before repair, get rid of everything that you no longer need. Throw away or sell old clothes, furniture, accessories, books. So it will be easier to deal with a new design.
Style
Choose colors, pieces of furniture, wallpapers that you will like. Decide on the style of the room. For example, classic, minimalism, modern, maximalism. Experiment with colors, patterns, small details. You can select multiple styles at the same time.
Find examples of inspiration
Look for design examples in magazines, certain websites, books, visiting friends. Collect all collected information in one place and create a mood board. Then look for similar interior items in stores.
Use the space right
It makes no sense to buy a large dining table if you never invite guests to your place. Try to furnish the space with furniture that you will definitely use. Before buying, evaluate whether you really need it.
Start with furniture, walls and floor
If you want to make a major change to a room, start by decorating the walls and floor. Choose materials, colors. Then move on to furniture and small decor. You can decorate the room with paintings, curtains, candles, books, magazines, carpets and blankets.
Choose only those interior items, colors and accessories that you like 100%.
