The first thing which you must do as a home owner is to discover your sense of colours and the shades that you like. Make a list of all the shades and colours that you love and cannot do without. Once you decide on that then try it out with one of the walls in the room. Decorate it with the style you had in mind. Try the accessories and the fabrics which you wanted. It is more economical to try it out this way so that if the final effect is not impressive then you can always change it.
For those who live in the cities the space is always a big problem. When opting for decorating smaller spaces or more compact homes always avoid the larger scales and patterns. This will make your room look smaller. The best way to work with the compact spaces is to opt for smaller patterns and designs. If you love the larger bolder prints use them on the fabrics or the cushions instead. The use of the colours is great but it should not look bizarre. So try the use of bold colours with the combination of white or lighter colours in between so that the shades strike out but in a balanced way.
The choice of patterns in decoration can be of various kinds. They can be classic yet innovative, inspired and free yet balanced, colourful or neutral, bright and sober, flowing and static. These options are endless and combine to look great. A couple of bright patterned cushions on a neutral coloured sofa can make give the chic affect to the room. The use of accessories like cushions and pillows can make a simple room bubbly and vivacious. The use of these accessories can add texture and pattern to the room. The uses of vases add a different note to the room. Generally the uses of bright and vibrant colours are ideal for the living room while the bedrooms should be more of softer tones and more warm and cosy. The reason for this is simple as the bedroom is where you relax and the living room is the centre of all the movements. Always experiment on a smaller scale so that you can always correct it without spending much.
