Well, I have to admit this is one of the most common situations decorators are confronted with. Many of you do fine buying the furniture, but then get cold feet about what to do next. A room or home is not finished until the eight steps to a fully decorated room are completed in each area. The walls/trim/ceiling/moldings must be addressed and are a backdrop for your room.-- The flooring is critical for function and décor and should be chosen with both criteria in mind. -- Window treatments, accent pillows, bedding ensembles for bedrooms should be chosen again for function and color coordination with the key/inspiration piece.-- Lighting will add function and ambience to the room and should not be ignored.-- Artwork will fill wall space, create personality and add an extremely important element to the well decorated room.-- Accessories are absolutely essential to the room. They will add color, scale, drama, personality, ambience etc., and should be items you love and some that add a perfect touch of color to the room decoration. -- Plants, trees and florals, will work wonders to fill spaces. Trees will fill void corners or walls. Ivy’s and florals to match the decor in varied areas are the final touch to a room. Once all of these components have been addressed and added to the décor, the end result will be beautiful. In my workbook, "Secrets to a Beautiful Home" I provide practical information about all of these subjects. Once you have read the workbook, you will be equipped to make good, money saving decisions.
