Five basic rules

Designing your home can be fun and exciting, but it can also be overwhelming if you don’t know the basics. Here are some tips you should consider: tips to help you start the process successfully.

What to do:

1. Plan your design in advance: Create a clear vision of how you want your home to look before you start shopping for furniture and accessories.

2. Prioritize functionality: Design your space so that it is functional and meets your needs.

3. Consider the lighting: It would be desirable to use three sources of lighting in each room. Lighting can greatly affect the look and feel of a room. Make sure you choose the right lighting for every room in your home.

4. Choose a color palette: Choose a color palette that you like and that will create the mood and atmosphere you want in your home.

5. Invest in quality pieces: Invest in quality furniture, lighting and decor that will last for years to come.

What we don’t recommend:

1. Do not ignore the importance of functionality in favor of aesthetics.

2. Do not overdo it with decor and accessories. Too many objects can create a feeling of clutter and make the space cramped and overwhelming.

3. Don’t rush the design process. Take your time and make thoughtful, well-informed decisions.

4. Don’t forget to consider the size of furniture and decorative items in relation to the size of your room.

5. Don’t skimp on quality when it comes to essentials like flooring, countertops, and appliances.
