Many consider an adventure to have an empty house and then equip and decorate it according to your taste, style and energy. Others see it as a rather complicated challenge that they prefer to avoid. But the big question most people ask themselves for sure is: where do you start?
If you are thinking about decorating your home for the first time, our recommendation is that you start with the living room. Well, it is the most important place in the whole house, it is there where you will spend more time with your family, where you will preferably rest for a while during the day and where you will surely receive your visits.
The basic furniture cannot be overlooked. We are talking about the sofa, auxiliary furniture, textiles and other accessories that serve to complement.
Choice of furniture.
If it is your first time, it is recommended that you go little by little. Avoid the urge to buy objects that later you won’t know how to locate them to fit the environment, or how to achieve that they combine perfectly within the space that may be smaller than you thought.
A very practical suggestion that we give you is that you first try to live in the house for a period of time before taking the step of buying furniture. Of course, this idea may not seem very attractive from the beginning due to the comfort issue, but we assure you that it will be worth it since you will save a lot of money and the results will be much better.
After living in the house for a while, that will give you a better idea of how it is set up. Now you are in a better capacity to start buying furniture, and it is important that you have the meter in your hands to start placing them in their corresponding place. Then, you can gradually add some pieces, but without falling into excesses. Start to distribute your moves, always trying to leave the necessary space so that you can circulate between them.
Combine practicality with aesthetics.
It is extremely important that any decoration is practical. There are people who only take aesthetics into account when they buy, but that is not everything. It is also important that you feel comfortable every time you get home. So when buying a sofa, remember to make the decision keeping in mind that it must be practical and aesthetic in a fair way.
Choice of colors.
Always remember to use light, neutral and bright colors on the walls. If you fancy an innovative style, you can paint a wall in your room with a dark color. Keep in mind that strong colors can be used for accessories, as they are easier to replace if you get bored over time.
The warm tones, we recommend them for the living room, the living room and the entrance. But when it comes to bedrooms, try to choose colors that are more relaxing.
The lighting.
Don’t make the mistake of giving more importance to artificial light than natural light. Rather, try to enhance natural light. It is not recommended that you use very heavy curtains to cover the windows and if you plan to put curtains, do not keep them closed all the time.
