Find Your Decorating Style in Your Home | Trusted American Mortgage

When the moving truck has been unloaded and it’s time to decorate your new home, do you feel confident in your personal style, or completely stuck and unsure where to start?

Some people find decorating to be enjoyable, while others dread the task. These tips can help you find your decorating style to make your new house a home!

Consider What You Already Have

There’s a good chance you’ve already developed a sense of style—you just haven’t realized it yet! Take a look around your home. What do you already have in your rooms and on your walls? What accent pieces stand out and what colors are there?

You can even look inside your closet. Personal style spans across both decor and clothing choices. If you tend to wear neutrals, it is likely that you’d prefer a more neutral color palette for your living space. The same goes for bold, bright colors.

Draw Inspiration From Elsewhere

There are so many websites dedicated to home decorating. Start browsing right away and get some inspiration!

Are there places you’ve been that have felt like home to you, or you’ve just really felt cozy and calm there? This could be a friend’s home or even somewhere you’ve traveled. Inspiration can come from anywhere!

Start With the Basics

When you have some inspiration and have a general idea of what you like, start with the basics. Choose a couch color, texture or design, then add a few accent pillows. Pick out a large wall piece, then add additional wall art.

Starting with the basics can help provide a foundation for home decorating. Choosing one larger, staple item, then adding to the space can also keep things looking cohesive, instead of having a bunch of different colors or textures that do not flow well together.

Decorating your home doesn’t have to be a negative experience. With these tips, you could be decorating in your own style in no time!
