Decorating Your New Home

Moving into a new home is an exciting opportunity to pivot your lifestyle and the overall aesthetic of your space. A new home means a blank canvas, and there is no lack of inspiration to pull from, considering Instagram and Pinterest exist. Although these platforms can be overwhelming with their abundance of options, if you know what you’re looking for, they can be a creative tool! Keep these tips in mind as you’re decorating a new home. 

Figure out your decorating style: Everything will likely be tied to a style unless you’re intentionally not sticking to one style. Either way, having a defined style makes envisioning the space and the sort of pieces you want to fill a room easier. Once you know which design style you most want inside your home, you can narrow your search. 

Start with the biggest piece in the room first: If you’ve decided to start from scratch, the first item to get for each room is the largest one. For example, your couch or statement rug in the living room should be your first purchase. After that, you will be able to match everything else to your largest piece of furniture and go from there. 

Layer in accessories and textures: Once you’ve decided on your style and invested in your large pieces of furniture, you can begin to layer in accessories and textures. Common items include wall art, mirrors, throw pillows, plants, and anything else to help your new space feel like home! 

As you begin your quest for the new items inside your home, allow yourself to connect to your creativity, envision the future of your home, and make it your own! Don’t be afraid to try a new style or to get a bold piece. The beauty of a fresh start is that you are free to be innovative!
