So where to start?
Having a plan is they key to a successful project of any kind. A stunning room makeover is now different.
1. Set your budget
Knowing how much money you have to work with is so important. This is the basic starting point for any project and will allow you to set your spending boundaries.
When it comes to decorating your home, there is are so many amazing options available, that it can be easy to blow the budget very quickly.
This is why a very clear money ceiling is so important. Once you know what you have to spend you can start collecting all the finishes you want to use.
There are often very cost effective alternatives for every design solution. So remember to keep coming back to your budget, to make sure you are working to your plan.
You can even divide the budget up before you get started so you know the price limits you need to work with when looking at each section of your makeover.
2. Choose your colour pallet
Colour really speaks to each persons individually. So knowing what colours you love, and working those into the room is a great place to start.
You can either use the colours you have chosen as the main theme or use them as accents and in accessories. Personally, I love to use whites, pale grey or neutrals as the main colours and then the bolder colours in splashes and accents.
3. Plan from the ground up
Begin with the floor treat. This lays the groundwork for the design stage. Its also often the biggest expense in a home project.
From there you can choose the wall colour and and window treatments. Then its time to choose the main furniture pieces that will anchor the space.
Once the big decisions have been made its time for the fun styling choices. Be sure to collect one or two options for each item so you can play around with all your choices on your mood board…
4. Make a mood board
Before you officially buy anything, put all your choices together on the table and see how they work together. This is a super fun way to see all the main finishes, colours and textures of your plan in one place.
If something looks wrong or doesn’t feel right, you can easily switch it out, with a different option to see if works better. You can cut out pictures of all your furniture and accessory ideas too so see how everything works together.
5. Get started
Now you can take your plan and run with it, knowing that you have covered all your bases. Keep referring back to your budget and your mood board, as you work through the buying process.
Sometimes your choices may be out of stock, so be flexible and open to changing things up, to get it all done on time and within your planned budget.
Don’t forget to have fun with the process of your room makeover. Because the aim is to make you feel really good about your new space.
