o Determine a style or theme for the space
o Make a list of the items you need
o Make a plan for how you will complete this project.
o Set a budget – Even if you’re not sure how much things cost, know how much you can comfortably spend on the project.
o Check the Internet before you go shopping: you will be surprised what you can find on the Internet.
o Don’t forget the accessories
o Don’t forget the windows: The most common problem I find among clients who have decorated a room but still feel it is incomplete is that they haven’t paid attention to the windows. Whether you have a contemporary or traditional taste, finish that room by addressing both the functional and aesthetic needs of your windows.

Choose paint colors that you love, that make you feel good when you are in their presence. Wallpaper is also a wonderful way to add some color, texture, or pattern to a wall or an entire room. Like window treatments, it can help you unify your space, add pops of color, and create focal points for your space. There are some beautiful wallcovering products that are much easier to install and, if applied correctly, much easier to remove if you decide a few years later that you want to update the look again.

You decide to restore or paint that beaten piece of wood. It will give you something new to love while helping Mother Nature. If you’re sure you don’t want it, make room for something great new by donating it so someone else can enjoy it as much as you do or sell it to earn a little money for a great new piece to replace it.
