We've all walked into a room of a new apartment and felt that a particular room has the potential to be a special favorite. But to ensure that it does become a favorite, you'll have to cater not only for the abstract feel of the space but also the visual appeal. After all, you want a place you'll be able to feel good in after a bad day; a place where you'll be able to fade into on those cold, rainy nights in; a place all your very own. So let's get right to it.
Decorating is the ultimate step to change, accent or improve a place. Before you can start doing so, prepare your favorite room by emptying it out of furnishings. Old stuff are the first to go albeit temporarily. When the room has been cleared, you'll see the room with better eyes and a new perspective allowing you to visualize how you would like it to look after its makeover.
The next step is to work on the walls. Unlike pieces of furniture, the walls can't be moved out for an overhaul. Changing the way it looks depends on color. Suiting the walls to your new interior means repainting, which also means that whatever remaining furnishings you have in the room should be covered up or evacuated out of the room. Consider carefully how you would like the room to change so you can better choose your new wall paint and save you the hassle of repainting over and over again.
When you've got the walls figured out, then it's on to the floor. Now unless you have a substantial budget set aside for this, you're probably not going to redo the floor. Perhaps touch it up a little and give it a good clean, but essentially floors stay the way they are for a number of years. However, there's nothing like a decent area rug to either lighten a place up or dim it down; serve as a focal point or as an accessory to one.
Area rugs have been around since the dawn of modern civilization (ca. 3000BC) and have as such become an integral part of the interiors of our homes. In terms of the room you wish to redo, consider the role your area rug will play first. Will it be the thing that captures the attention first? If so, then you're probably looking for something with a central design, like the medallion of a Persian or Oriental rug. Alternatively, in case you had a different focal point in mind, then the area rug can be used to accentuate it by being a compatible color. The ideas here are endless, but an area rug is a definite must if you want to change the mood of the room you are in with little or no effort.
When you're done with the floor, you can now add some furniture and other decorations. Bear in mind your likes and preferences and be as creative as you want. For sure, you'll be the constant lodger of this room anyway, so taking into account what you like is expressing yourself through this room. Just ensure that the decors you choose, regardless of how many, are fitting and looks good with the rest of the room. - 29954
