How To Find Your Personal Style In Home Decorating

Does your living room or bedroom lack style and comfort? Are you ready to create a space that is both stylish and comfortable for your friends and family? Something you are proud to show and not be embarrassed?

A room that reflects your personality and shouts to the world, this is what your personal style is all about. It is a reflection of you and who you are.

Your personal style is collected through your life’s experiences, travel. Education, shopping sprees and more, and add memorabilia that can be proudly displayed in every room in the house.

These collectables are a reflection of your style and personal taste. What made you smile when you picked it up at the market place? Was it the gold picture frame you purchased in England? Or perhaps it was the pottery on your last Italy trip?

All the special memorabilia that you’ve collected, whether it came from a special vacation cruise or second hand store were purchased because you liked it or it made you feel good. This is what your personal style is.

Now if you’re not sure what your personal style is, I suggest that you take some time to visit your local furniture stores and designer showcases. They will display “vignettes” or an arrangement of furniture, fabric, color and home accents that will certainly get your juices flowing.

Furniture stores will display vignettes of living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and dining rooms. Each vignette will show all types of colors, fabrics, textures, lighting, furniture and so forth. I’m sure it’ll spark a lot of creativity within and start your juices flowing.

If you plan to purchase on one of these shopping sprees, first and foremost, make sure you have your measurements readily available. Never buy furniture without measuring your space.

For more great decorating ideas you’ll want to shop your favorite design magazines. Make sure to clip out your favorites and take them with you on your shopping trip. The sales representatives can help you find your personal style.
