Liven Up Your Home: Moving Off-campus
By Michael Douglas
Many young people have a "college dorm" style: a hand-me-down couch from parents basement and broken-down tables from who-knows-where. For budding decorators looking to get a fresh start, here are several tips:
- If you can't afford to decorate your whole house all at once, start with the room that you use the most. It can be even your bathroom but has to be the place you love and would love to spend the maximum time in.
- Buy what you love, always. It is generally not known where things are going to go when you buy them. But if you do buy what you love, eventually it will work its way in. You are going to love it anyway!
- Keep the big items simple. When you buy things that are expensive, like a sofa or something that really feels like an investment, you need to keep it as plain as possible, as simple as possible. Make sure that its a clean
design that will work with whatever style you want to. Don't go for prints and patch-work.
- With big items, take your time to make careful decisions. Don't buy stuff just to fill the space. There's so many great things, with catalogs and the Internet, you can sit and compare styles and prices and all of that.
- However, don't be afraid of that diamond in the rough. A fun chair? Great. If you see something at a flea market, just buy it.
- Above all, don't be afraid to experiment. Try and get stuff that is versatile in nature and can be place anywhere to give that brand new look.
- Just about everyone agrees that fresh-cut flowers can brighten the corners of any room. But there is a downside, they are expensive and they die. So, is using artificial plants and flowers considered tacky? The answer is yes! Avoid making space for things like these.
