Home Decoration Styles

Home is where the heart is, but is your home a symbol of your heart? Too many people do not follow the advice of an interior decorator or dealer, because they have never found their style of home decorating. You can get acquainted with your own by answering four simple questions.

Am I Traditional or Modern? If you could live anywhere you like, what would you be? Perhaps your dream is to live in an English country house, like the ones in Jane Austen's novel. Or maybe you are the happiest type in a modern comfortable place where you can put your feet on the couch and no one cares. Knowing your “time frame” will help you to navigate through seemingly endless decisions. And if you are both young, do not worry. Most beautiful homes combine two looks.

What Color Do I Dream? Do you feel more comfortable in a room that is easily accessible? Do you like purple or red or orange? Nowadays, fabrics and accessories come in almost every color of the rainbow. The walls can be painted with a rainbow of colors, too. Knowing which colors make you feel happier will help you choose the right color scheme.

Would I Like My Home to Talk About Me? We all have our interests and hobbies, so why should we not be surrounded by things that we love? Whether your interests are books, music, crafts, travel, or art, it is important to incorporate the things you value into your home decor. For example, instead of hanging a typical landscape image on a couch, why not embellish a beautiful quilt or an old tourist poster for your favorite tourist destination?

Who Will Share My Home? Do you have children, or pets? Is your home your home in the world, or your place of entertainment? Knowing who will use the space will help you see how your decorating plan should be formal or informal. And being honest about your aging and tearing apart rooms will help you make better choices when it comes to choosing furniture and fabrics.

If you have trouble answering these four questions, borrow home decor books from your local library or pick up a few home decor magazines in the grocery store. As you flip through the pages, be aware of which styles and colors appeal to your eyes. Then try this little exercise again. By this time, you should be on your way to finding your home decorating style.
