Decor&You |
I know, you are thinking a WOW! space just happens,
right? I’ll let you in on an industry secret- beautiful spaces are
carefully planned, executed and delivered. You want a space that will
immediately reflect who you are -naturally and effortlessly beautiful.
WOW!
When you are planning to decorate, the key to success is
following a Plan to buy and buy to plan process. This process will reward you with fantastic décor. You Plan
to buy by completing your planning your spaces upfront and you Buy to plan by purchasing items
included in that plan overtime as your budget allows. Without this plan, you may make a mistake,
which can come with a big price tag, not to mention lots of disappointment and
frustration. I’m sure you can relate to
seeing something amazing, a luscious area rug, an eye-catching piece of art or
a yummy comforter and think it would work well in your space. But if the
rug clashes with your sofa, the art is out of scale for your room, or comforter
is too hot for your mate, it’s all wrong. This is why having the Plan to buy and buy process is so important.
Here are three critical pieces of the process:
1.
A floor plan. This includes a solid traffic flow plan,
an idea of the size for every design element, which includes furniture and
lighting. Without this, you are in big trouble.
2.
An investment plan. Having
an idea of how much you have to invest in your space (and it is an
investment- your home is often the biggest purchase you ever make) is
crucial. Beautiful, functional and timeless design comes in all price
points. And remember, you don’t have to
do it all at once; you can purchase pieces over time as your budget allows.
3.
A design plan. Ooooh, did I say “design” and “plan” in
one sentence. Yep. A design plan starts with the end in mind
like Steven Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
b.
Who will use this room? Elderly parents or
your entire extended blended family?
c.
Why are you redecorating? What do you love
in the room, what simply must go?
d.
What will the finished room feel like if it’s
done well?
A
WOW! ROOM is obtainable and you deserve to have more than one. Using these tips
will get you started on a space that you can truly love. Enjoy the
process!
