Planning

It is important when doing any decorating on a budget that you plan your home decor. What furniture do you need? What color scheme do you want for each room? What style do you want?

When planning your design, work from the largest area of the room to the smallest. For instance, start with walls, windows, floors, furnishings and then finish with accessories. It is important to remember the larger the decorating element, the more impact it will have on the finished design.
