How To Decorate Without Spending A Dime.

"A beautiful home is what your hearts say it is."

You may have spent a fortune buying that couch you saw on designers magazine, or that dinning table, flower vase, or center rug on Konga yet, there is this uneasiness you feel, when ever you are at your living room for long. You always think, you've not hit the right spot on your interiors, there is some thing more you need to do.

Here is the secret, you may have spent so much time, imagining that your friends sitting room or the one on TV, hoping your own come out the same and have totally forgotten about the YOU factor in the design scheme. 

Come to think of it, its your home, so it should be all about what works for you.

So, before your order for another throw pillow to tune up your settee, here is what you keep in mind when trying to design to feel at home.

 Stop thinking about how you want your home to look, instead think…How do I want to FEEL in my home?

Ask yourself:

• Does your home truly reflect who you are?  If the answer is no, or only a little,  then ask yourself – Why not?  Then figure out what is needed so that it does reflect you.
• Are all your needs being met physically and emotionally?  What do you do upon waking, eating, working? Is everything you need at arm’s length or easy to get? Do you have the right wattage of light bulb to read by? Is the sink at the right height, the cabinet for your dishes right above the dishwasher so you can empty it with ease. Do your rugs feel good under your feet?  These little things make the way you live “the best” – not designer plates or an expensive appliance.
• How do I really want to live?  Is it casual, formal, cozy, spacious, dark, light.
• If you were the only person you had to impress, how would you decorate your home?  This is the hardest to figure out but once you do, you will be on your way to knowing what change is needed so you feel good in your home.

How one feels in their home is as individual as each one of us – our tastes, personality, and past. Your home should feel customized just for you and your family.

When you answer this questions correctly, you will realize you already have all you need to be very comfortable in you home. Just put them in the right place and you are good to go.
