Stuck or confused about decorating? Here are 3 easy steps you can use to design a room. Think of it as Ready, Set, Go!
Where’s your inspiration? In your closet? a room setting you saved on Pinterest? Get Ready to design your room.
I urge my clients to share a Pinterest page or Houzz idea book and accumulated images from magazines. Things that appeal to our senses prepare us for the next step…after a color palette and style direction are created.
Many of you will have some ‘keepers’ which may be sentimental ~ favorites such as a chair, lamp, rug or art and those need to be separated from what goes. When you get to this step you’re at Get Set to design your room. Now the fun begins since you know where you have gaps and need to fill in. Do you need a sofa and two chairs? Do you want to mix it up?
The final step is GO ~ design your room.
Two different directions above. One monochromatic which is easily accessorized with color and the second where the color is already in place and lamps, a rug and art may add the pizzazz. I often add a large ottoman to groupings as I’ve found my clients love them, they’re great for your legs and add a bit of drama. Plus they also are a place for a tray, books and other accents.
I’m showing some accessories as examples to finish your room decorating and final design. You can be colorful and coordinate to the color palette you love and at the same time add details that are functional and unique.
At FSID, we love to work with our clients when the furnishings are in place. We make your room design truly unique ~ all about you ~using accents. Lamps that add color to your look, a tray or magazine container. Plus some pizazz with ceramic pieces as you see in the images. Don’t forget a plant or flowers. Keep adding layers in your room until the design feels just right for you.
