Homes Decorating – Easy Peasy! Do-it-Yourself Momma!

With the current state of the economy, more and more people are realizing that they need to learn how to fix their own homes to save more. But here’s the funny thing: so many of us are scared of homes decorating because we don’t have much confidence in our abilities to wow people with our tastes in home design. There are just so many things to consider: patterns, color schemes, textures and lighting. In particular, mixing patterns can be tricky. If you do this wrong, you will end up with a mix-and-match design that hurts the eye (and your reputation).

How to Use Multiple Patterns

Are you scared of using multiple patterns in your designs? Don’t fret, it’s easy. Here’s an example: for a small bathroom, you can can complement your stripe patterns with florals if the colors are also complementary (e.g. pastel pink on pastel peach).

Color Play!

Speaking of colors, you must decide which color shades fit the purpose of the room you are decorating because colors have different effects on people. Red, for instance, increases appetite and emotions, so a hint of red in your dining area and your bedroom can be a good idea. You can use red liberally in your Christmas decoration because this is the theme color for the season.

Yellow encourages conversation, so a pastel shade of yellow can be used on your sun deck or patio. You can also use yellow for baby girl bedroom decor to improve your little one’s speaking ability.

Feel free to choose multiple patterns, but you should also practice restraint when playing with hues.Just remember this: don’t overwhelm your guests with too many clashing colors; simply use one or two color schemes when decorating a room.
