Create a “Decorating Ideas” file
or mood board.
Gain insight to your style preferences.
Before you begin shopping for your furniture and accessories, research your favorite magazines and catalogs. Tear out the pages that have rooms and furniture that catch your attention. Collect paint colors, fabric swatches, and photos of your favorite accessories and furniture pieces. Put all of them in a “Decorating Ideas” file or mount them on a piece of tag board with removable adhesive (so you can re-arrange) to create a mood board. Remember to take before photos of your existing space.
Bring your "Decorating Ideas" with you when you shop. Your collection of pictures and items will reveal who you are and what you like – so you ultimately end up with pieces you truly love and will have for a long time.
