Stylish exteriors and well thought out space is synonymous with the Morris Homes brand, but decorating your brand new home can be a daunting business that even the most confident of us can find tricky. Here are 5 ideas for you to start with.
-
Get the plans of your new home with dimensions of all the rooms as soon as you can. Then grab some graph paper and a scale rule and with these you can work out the sizes of the furniture you can fit into the rooms. Remember to leave a decent amount of space around the furniture to move between it. Decide exactly how you will use each room.
-
Create mood boards – gathering fabric samples, wallpaper and paint colours and cut out pictures from magazines to create the look you want for every room. Keep these in a folder or scrap book to refer to when you go looking for things. Pintrest is a great source of ideas for this.
-
A neutral base colour, for example; greys, creams, etc., used in different tones helps to bring a scheme together. It is a great focal point to have a feature wall of wallpaper or a contrasting colour paint.
-
Invest in key pieces – the sofa in your living room for instance. Accessories are easy and relatively inexpensive to change and update even seasonally – these also play an important role in adding texture, pattern and colour to your home.
-
Be confident – decorate with your heart. Your home needs to please you and your family. Use objects, pictures, etc., that you love.
