If you’re tasked with the responsibility of decorating a room and don’t know where to start, it can seem like a daunting job. But it doesn’t have to be. Decorating is a fun job that lets you express your creativity through home decor and design!
Here are three tips to help you get your decorating started:
Hire a Professional: Hiring a professional is a good idea for many reasons. They’ll do the job for you and you won’t even have to worry about it. But you may also want to hire a professional decorator because you can learn from them. Whether you participate in the process of choosing the decor items or watch as the decorating is done, you’re bound to learn something along the way that will help you later on down the road when you have to decorate again.
Many of the trainers from The-DSA also own their own decorating businesses, so find one who is close to you and reach out for some of their help!
No Knowledge Will Drain You: If you decide to move forward with decorating on your own but are lacking knowledge on how to decorate, then it’s going to stall you. Those who are absolutely set on decorating (or want to learn!) themselves will want to do a little research first. Whether it’s talking with someone who is a decorator, reading a book, or simply scouring the Internet, you’ll want to go into the project with some basic knowledge so it doesn’t take you several months to complete the project when it should only take a week or two.
Know Your Style: It’s important to know which decorating style you prefer. Not only because it will help you know what it is you like, but because it will save you a lot of time and money from browsing through the wrong section or returning items you don’t like later on. Whether it’s country chic or modern, edgy or classic, you’ll know what will look good and what doesn’t look good with the items you already own.
