How to Decorate Your New Home? Designing a new home can be quite a daunting task, there are various things to be kept in mind, furniture, painting, fabrics, etc. have to be decided and bought, and you can either take the help of a top architect, or do it yourself. Things you should always remember when designing a home are: 1. Clean your clutter: When you move to a new home one of the most important things you can do is decide what furniture you want to keep from your old house. You should clear the clutter from your old home and remove whatever is unnecessary. Decide on a color scheme, or theme for your new house and stick to it. This makes it easier to get rid of old, and unused furniture, fabrics, while emptying your house. Also, you must keep in mind that your old stuff may not fit in your new space. 2. Paint your home: Painting your home always gives a home a new feel. A fresh coat of paint can change the facade of a house and using the various shades of paint available in the market today you can add accents and color to your home. Choose a color that fits your home and complements your personality. The best thing about paint is that it is not permanent and can be changed at regular intervals to keep your house looking new. In addition to paint you can also utilize wallpaper, which lends different textures and patterns to a room and instantly livens it up. 3. Decide on a color scheme: When you pick the colors that you want to dominate your new home it makes the design process much easier. The furniture can be bought and upholstered accordingly. You can always hire an architecture consultant to help you pick the best color combinations for your home. They can lend their expert opinion and recommend colors according to your likes and dislikes. 4. Get new furniture: Furniture is arguably one of the most important aspects of a house. All your furniture decides the character and vibe of your space. Choose comfortable pieces that match your home and your personality, as you have to see it every single day. Do not be afraid to experiment with your furniture, but just make sure that it fits with the theme of your home. You can mix and match furniture too as it adds a unique look to your space. 5. Use decorative storage: The best architects in India always recommend that storage be functional as well as decorative.
