You do not need to be an expert or hire one to do house repairs. There are some basic guidelines that you can follow and achieve the same result that a professional decorator would. Decorators don’t have any secret as some of us tend to think. They are just creative and work with what they have to create impressive rooms.

Below we have prepared some simple tips that you can consider when decorating your rooms:

Breathing Room For The Furniture

You may have never thought about this. Resist the temptation to crowd furniture all over the room. With enough room, it’s easier to move around without interfering with furniture. In case you are on a tight budget, it’s even easier because you will be able to accomplish so much with very little.

Painting The Room

The last thing you should do is to choose the paint color. While a lot of people tend to choose the color of the house first so that they move in when the paint has dried out, sometimes it’s better to move in first and then choose a color once you have a good perspective of the house. You will get to compliment the drapery, upholstery, and furniture this way.

Artwork

Many people don’t hang their artwork properly. Get the right height. Make sure the height from the floor is between 57 and 60 inches, basically, at eye level. Even if the ceiling is very high, make sure you have the artwork hanging keeping in mind the eye level, not the structure of the room.

Too Many Themes

It’s understandable that you want your house to stand out, to be impressive. However, do not get carried away and go overboard with handyman. Use only one or two themes. Anything more than that will be too much.

The Focal Point

Be careful when choosing the focal point. This is where all the attention is drawn. Make sure that whatever you are focusing your attention on is worth the attention in the first place, and then arrange everything else in the room according to the focal point.

Collectibles

Understand your collectibles. Know the ones that fit and the ones that are just out of place. No matter how sentimental they may be to you, if it’s not right for that room, it’s not supposed to be there.

Furniture On Rugs

You should have your furniture arranged on rugs in any of the following 3 ways;

All on – With a large enough rug, all the furniture legs should be on the rug
Front on – Only the front feet of seating pieces should be on the rug
All off – This is perfect for a small room. Keep the edges of the rugs just close to the legs of the furniture

Sight Lines

Having settled on the ideal focal point, make sure you have it clear of obstructions in every room. To achieve this, make sure the focal points you choose in each room are set directly across the room.

Lighting

Work with lighting in layers. This should help you highlight the interior, the artwork, and any other item that acts as the focal point. Using one source of light will not give your rooms the look that you want.

Be Brave With The Design

There’s nothing more important in handyman services than your personality. After all, this is what you are trying to enhance. Make sure that whatever you work on, makes you feel good about the room.
