So, where do you start? What do you want the theme to be? Maybe beach theme bedrooms, nautical theme design, country themed? When you look at magazines what designs do you see that catch you eye? Do you look through Elle Decor, Home Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens or Metropolitan Home. These are some different styles.

Now that you have your theme let’s start with the furniture. First move it to where you think it will look good, but always get a second opinion from a San Diego interior designer or decorator like me. They will help you re-work on the room and decorations. Discuss about the colors you like or don’t like. Another important thing, if you have any kind of collection like art, photos, etc. let’s show off your collection! Have fun working in your new house, this is the place to relax and enjoy!

I am a big believer that even though a move is very stressful; by using the services of a interior designer or interior decorator, this can be a smooth transaction. Also, a good one has a suggested list of people I have worked with over many years that can help you do the things you need. From a housekeeper, to a handyman, to an electrican. You name it, I probably have them on my speed dial list.

When you choose the colors that you like, have in mind the colors that your couple (if you are married) likes too. Maybe you couple likes cool tones like blues, greens etc and you like warm tones. There are ways to blend those colrs together to make a seamless fit.That’s another reason why working with an interior design firm is the best.

Having learned some tips about decorating your new home, the next step is to have fun working on it. Don’t forget that using the help of an interior designer can save you many headaches.
