Create a budget
Ascertain how much you can spend. You can even start renovating by starting with one room at a time. This way, you don’t have to stay in a constant state of upheaval when you’re going through the renovations.
Pick a colour palette
Picking a colour palette can be done when you start with an item you’re most in love with. Once the palette is established, the rest of the decor shopping can start from there. Use neutral and earthy tones for investment pieces, like the couch and dining table, and make use of the colour in paint or accent pieces like pillows, lamps and art. This is a smart way of being in a position where you can change the colour palette if you feel like it without spending a lot of money every time. Here’s how you introduce shades of pink to your home, for instance.
Invest in the right statement pieces
Once you start scouring for products that are in line with your aesthetic, you’ll slowly start building corners that work for you. Statement pieces set the tone for your home.
