30 Home Decorating Tips For After You Move
Moving to a new home? Need to spruce up your home for a showing? Or does your home décor simply need a change? We have collected 30 decorating tips to help your home look its best.
- When purchasing a coffee table, make sure it is at the height of your sofa cushion, if not then 1-2” shorter is just fine.
- Having trouble sleeping? Pick neutral colors for your bedroom to promote better sleep.
- When hanging your curtains, make sure they go all the way down to the ground to give the illusion of larger windows.
- Is your closet missing something? Hang a curtain in front of it to give it some zest.
- Have trouble making décor decisions? Make furniture shopping easy by choosing neutral paint colors.
- Stick with the same theme throughout the main areas of the house.
- Small or no windows? Want to open up that space? Paint the room a little bit lighter color.
- To make the space more personal, utilize sentimental pieces in your decorating scheme.
- In your family room, comfort comes first and elegance comes second.
- Want a trendy and modern feel for your home? Use a neutral pallet for your house with pops of colors.
- Allow in as much natural light as possible to open up your room and lift your mood instantly.
- Set the tone of your home with a boldly painted front door.
- Make your furniture encourage conversation. A “U” shape or “H” shape keeps the room interactive and inviting.
- Create a sense of height by painting your baseboards the same color as your walls.
- Add a mirror to your room and give the illusion of openness to your space.
- Give a light and airy feel to your rooms with couches and tables that have legs and transparent space beneath.
- Tired of that old chair? Slip over a new cover and make the old, new again.
- Don't forget to utilize shelves to save space and give a room a sense of organization.
- Scale your couch to the size of your room. A big couch in a small room will make it feel even smaller.
- Cut photo frame templates out of removable contact paper and pre-arrange your gallery before drilling holes in the wall.
- When redecorating, don't forget about your vinyl and laminate floors.
- Get it right the first time. Use a tape measure to locate exactly where to drill or hammer.
- Paint the inside of your door for a fun and subtle pop of color.
- Dress up your windows with jute rope to add a rustic feel.
- Having trouble hanging your wreath? Place it on an up-side down Command hook on the back of the door for more leverage.
- Got Wi-Fi? Tired of seeing all the unsightly routers and cords? Use a hollowed-out book to hide the unsightly router.
- Use your old rhinestone necklaces you don’t wear anymore to make curtain tiebacks for a bohemian look.
- A tea dispenser is a perfect way to make that clunky laundry detergent bottle easy on the eye.
- Rug sliding? No need for a rug pad. Add strips of caulk on the bottom to create a gripped rug.
- Want to add a little glam to your bathroom? Add a fun frame to your mirror.
