For those who already have their home ready, do not stop reading it because it is always good to know a tip that allows us to make our house more comfortable and beautiful.
Where to start?
When you plan to decorate your house for the first time it is a good idea to start with the living room. It is the most important place in the house - where you spend more time - the place where you enjoy to rest for a while and where you meet with your family and friends.
The essential furniture can not miss: the sofa. Then the auxiliary furniture, textiles, accessories, etc. will arrive.
5 tips for decorating your home for the first time
How to choose furniture?
To decorate the house for the first time is necessary to go little by little. Do not buy things that you do not know how to fit in later, or how to make them all work together in a space that seemed bigger than it really is.
My advice is to live the house a while before buying the furniture. Obviously not comfortable, but I assure you that you will save money and the result will be much better.
Once you have more idea of what your house is like and you have inhabited it for a while, buy the most important furniture and always with the subway at hand. Then he adds pieces little by little, but without filling you with things. I distributed the furniture well and left enough space for circulation.
Functionality or aesthetics?
Always first the functionality. And here I have to do a self-criticism. I am very buy for aesthetics and husband hates to do that! And he's right, the important thing is to feel comfortable, because that makes life easier for us. If we shoot with a sofa but we do not feel comfortable, then keep looking until you find the functionality and the aesthetics in equal parts.
How to choose colors?
Neutral colors, bright and clear: for walls. You will never go wrong. If you want to give a more trendy effect, paint one of the walls of the room in a darker color, but only one.
And if you want to add some accessories, bright color wall stickers like 3d wall butterflies can option for you.
Another thing, the warm tones go better in the living room, the entrance and the living room. For the bedrooms, the more peaceful and relaxing colors go better.
Illumination
This point is very important! You have to give a lot of ball to both natural and artificial light.
The natural, we must enhance it. Never cover windows with curtains of heavy fabrics. It seems obvious, but I tell them it's more common than you think.
If you have nice windows and a nice view, do not close the curtains. Another thing that also seems obvious, but how many people do it.
