Getting your hands messy and creating your own DIY decor is a great way to spruce up your home. It can also be great fun and save you a lot of money.
​

Your home is your safe space to spend time relaxing and enjoying the company of friends and family. Changing the decor is a great way to freshen up the space, make it personal, and make it more welcoming. You can customize the design to your personal preferences, to ensure you look forward to coming home every day.

Whether you are looking to make a big change, or decorate your home for a particular occasion, such as Easter, then you want to get it right the first time. When you are making changes, there is often more to it than just a little paint.
Here are some top tips to help you get started with a new interior design.

#1 Make it personal

​It
is important that any decor designs and ideas that you want to use, you personalize to suit your own tastes. While you can seek inspiration from other homes, making it your own will ensure you are 100% happy with your choice, and makes it special. Your space needs to reflect you and your needs, which is much more important than the latest trends, as your home is where you will spend most of your time. There is no right or wrong when it comes to interior decor.

#2 Check the quality of the room

​It
is important to check the quality of the room and the foundations. You don’t want to spend time making your own decor, only to find that you have a problem with some pipes or electrical wires, and have to take it all down. This will waste time and money, and your new beautiful decor. Instead, you should inspect your rooms thoroughly, to ensure there are no problems. Some of the most common things you should look out for are:

  • Mold and dampness
  • Warped walls or flooring
  • Leaking pipes
  • Broken electrical wires
  • Cracks in the floors or walls
  • Pest infestation
And anything else that may cause disruption. If you find you have any problems, you should call a professional to help you. For example, if you have a leaking pipe, then you should call your local plumber to ensure it is fixed properly, and the dampness won’t cause any problems to the foundations of your home, or your new decor.
​

#3 Test colors and fabrics before you buy

​
You may find different colors and fabrics that you like on Instagram or in your local hardware stores, however, they may look completely different in your home. This is because the way the color looks will change completely in different lights, in different sized spaces and when surrounded by different objects. The furniture you have in your home may also impact the way the colors and fabric look. In most stores, you are able to ask for a sample to take home with you. You can then see for yourself what the colors and patterns look like in your home, and ensure you make the right choice.

Decorating your home can be exciting. Follow these top tips to make sure you set yourself up for success.
