No decorating rule is ever written in stone. If a style doesn't suit you or just doesn't work in your home, move things around and add or remove items until you love it! Remember, it's your home.
Therefore it's most important that you feel comfortable in it. You don't need to spend a fortune on new furniture or hire a professional interior designer to make your house look elegant.
There is a wealth of information in books, television, and the internet to help you achieve the home of your dreams with minimal expense. Here are some of the most affordable, yet invaluable designing tips.
Looking for the focal point of a room is the very first step to creating the room of your dreams. The focal point should be the most interesting aspect of the room you are working on - a breathtaking view out of a bay window or French doors, a beautiful fireplace, etc.
If your room doesn't have an eye-catching focal point, don't worry! You can make one by using furniture or accessories. A large painting hanging over a couch, an oversized curio filled with your treasured possessions or even a wall unit that conceals your TV make great focal pieces.
Once you have discovered (or created) a focal point, just arrange the furniture in the room to help accentuate it. For instance, position your seating arrangement, preferably in a u-shape, facing the focal piece.
If your couch is part of the focal point, place two chairs or a loveseat across from the couch, with a coffee table in the centre of the arrangement.
