Buying a new home is a climax in most people’s homes. There are few experiences as enthralling as moving into a brand new home. The excitement can be marred when it comes time to decorate the home.Few first-time home buyers are able to turn the sterile, off white shell of a house into a comfortable home that is both an expression of your personality and a ‘safe place’ to retire every evening.A family that is only in the kitchen for thirty minutes in the morning, and while cooking or washing dishes, do not need to invest $10 000 in decorating the kitchen. Along the same line, a family who spends most of their time in the living room need to spend most of their money buying ‘long wear’ and sturdy furniture, flooring, and window treatments for that room.One mistake that most first-time new home decorators make is attacking one room at a time. Many homeowners work on one room at a time, running out of money before the house is finished. This is why you walk into many new homes with a beautiful living room and kitchen area, but the bedrooms are sparse and may remain undecorated for a few years while the homeowner saves enough money to finish decorating.Another consideration is children. A child’s room needs to grow with them. The child’s room may need to be redecorated five times between birth and 18 years old. A little foresight on furniture selection and floor treatments can save thousands of dollars over the next twenty years.New home decorating does not need to be a frightening project. It just takes a little common sense. Budget well. Create something you can live with, as apposed to creating something based on a theme. And, make sure that your new home fits your ‘real’ lifestyle, not your fantasy lifestyle.
