Repurpose, Replace, Refine...In these
challenging economic times, you can simplify your decorating
plans and still get picture-perfect results. In the same way

GET PROPER MEASUREMENTS AND MAKE A FLOOR PLAN
DO observe the space's architecture and define
its use. DON'T always think small. One bold
piece of art can really make your space feel brand new!
DETERMINE POTENTIAL FOR STYLE
IMPROVEMENTS
DO pay attention to your personality and your
heritage. DON'T shy away from color. And,
that collection of family photos spread throughout your home
would look fantastic all grouped together on a focal wall.
MAKE A LIST OF REALITIES
DO define the purpose for the space - work,
leisure, rest. DON'T overspend but budget the
amount you are happy to spend to achieve the result you desire.
You can transform your space with a few simple changes like one
special piece of art for over the fireplace, or a few throw
pillows in the colors of the season.
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR INSTINCTS
DO consider how art and decoration influence
your emotions. DON'T just be a copy-cat.
All types of art from abstracts to classical still lifes will
warm up your decor if they speak to your creative heart.
DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS
DO understand your space, from access and
lighting to acoustics and storage. DON'T
just decorate to your taste but always know your needs.
