Many times,
my clients think that their rooms are missing something or do not feel
"right".
Unfortunately, most people think that buying new things will finish off
these rooms. But, rather than
spending money on home décor items, save it and, instead, try redesigning your
rooms.
Shows, like
HGTV's "Decorating Cents", feature the “art” of Interior Redesign,
which is changing the way people think about decorating. This trend is exploding in popularity
because this "use-what-you-have" decorating method honors homeowner's
furnishings, accessories and artwork and is budget-friendly.
The first
step in redesign is to figure out the purpose or function of your room. Is it a conversation area? Is it a TV room? Is it a reading area? What do you and your family members
want to do in that room? You will
need to take into consideration the opinions of everyone that lives in your
home. Make sure you are on the
same page or try to be flexible and have your room satisfy more than one
purpose (a reading chair in the family room when the TV is not being used).
Once you have
discussed the function of the room, you will be ready to go further. You can use this first step as a "call
to action" and, then, after you have worked it out with your family,
we'll go on to the next step.
