So many people come to us and say, “Our room is stale! We need a fresh look! It’s time for a change!” I guess half the battle is recognizing when it’s time to change your decor, but the challenge is knowing how to start the project, especially when there are so many options available. So many questions start to fill your head, all legitimate: Where do I start? What stays? What goes? How much will it cost? Can I do this on my own? It’s time to examine your room and ask yourself some key questions: your room has been the way it is for several years, what did you really like about the room? What did you dislike about the room? These answers will help you understand what you want to change and why you want to change it. Redecorating an entire room can be a daunting task. Not to mention a large expense! You might be better off doing the project over a longer period of time. The advantages of this are you will be able to see the effects of each new piece on your room one at a time, allowing you to make more informed decisions on other changes in your room. You’ll also be able to spread the cost of the project out, softening its financial impact. Start with the most important piece of furniture in the room; it could be the sofa in the family room, dining table in the dining room or bed in the bedroom. Understand what you liked about your old one and what you disliked about it. Look for these qualities in the new piece of furniture that you select. Changing the most important piece in your room will help make the other changes required more obvious. Don’t be pressured into doing it all at once. Mistakes can be expensive. Decorium’s in-store design service is always free and guaranteed to be pressure-free and a lot of fun. Don’t forget to do your homework before you come to our showroom. Bring a sketch, dimensions and a look-book. Don’t be afraid of making a change, embrace the opportunity. Change your room, change your life!
