It's a common belief that people ought to stay clear of shopping for groceries when they are hungry because it can lead to making poor choices. Don't rush into furniture stores just because your home is empty. Yes, you need furniture. But if you decide to pick the pink-striped sectional because you love it in the showroom, without making measurements or considering the rest of the room, you're stuck with it. If your sofa is too large it means the rest of your room has to be designed around it.

The art of painting walls can be a simple and effective way to transform the look of any room. One wall of interest or painting in darker colors could make a room appear smaller. I'm sure that we've every experienced a dark painting accident, or have a friend who has. I'm certain I've experienced it!

Paint or put up wall panelling to beef up the look of a wall that is blank - if you have a wall that just adding another piece of artwork or mirror won't work (because you've already done it), then a painted wall or panelling would give the room a more textured look and dimension. Wallpaper is also a possibility.

If you decorate your home based on the latest the latest trends (cough cough Kmart, cough) then you'll regret it in a year or two when that trend is no longer well-known! Make sure your costly items will last for several years. Also be prepared to move on (aka make money) in the event that trends are no long "in".

Whether you like bright and light or dark and moody, greens, browns, greys .... As long as you like the overall look, it won't matter. Color is crucial when decorating. If you get it wrong the whole room will be in conflict. If you select the wrong color for your walls the carpet could appear ugly or your blinds might appear strange. Choose five colors, and use them for most of your interior decor. This includes wall colours carpet, cushions as well as curtains, furniture and even accessories. For example here are 5 shades: white, grey or a dark color (maybe black) or a lighter colour (maybe dusty pink) and a contrast colour (maybe green). Start with the wall paint when it's white, then you'll have many options. If you are drawn to a creamy color it is possible to continue with brown and wood tones. I've written a piece here on the best white paint.
