10 Easy Steps to Design a Room
18 July 2022
If you want to design a room in your home but feel intimidated, this article is for you. Designing a room is personal, and you don’t have to follow any rules, especially if it’s something that you don’t like. Here’s a short but helpful guide so you can start your journey of designing a space you love.
When you think of a room in your home, a mood might not be something that comes to mind, but it is an important first step. Deciding if you want a relaxing, lively, or cozy space will help direct the rest of your choices when designing the room you are working on.
You may decide you want a bathroom that feels like a spa. Soft, neutral tones and textures would make more sense than incorporating bright colors and patterns. At the same time, bright colors and patterns might improve in a kitchen where you want to feel cheerful and lively.
This is a perfect opportunity to get to know yourself, especially if you have never had the chance to design your own home before. You can find so many wonderful ideas online through social media. Pinterest and Instagram are perfect when looking for décor inspiration.
Since you have the mood you want the room to have decided on, you need to find out what it looks like. Many people on those social platforms also offer tips and advice to help achieve a certain look.
If you are into vision boards, this is a great time to whip up a vision board for how you want your space to look when you are done.
It is tempting to design a room you love regardless of your home life, but that’s not always a good idea. If you have pets or kids and create an Instagram-worthy living room, you will spend a lot of time tidying, cleaning, and keeping up with the room’s aesthetic.
Wanting a beautiful space is understandable, but don’t forget to make it functional, especially if you have other people living in your home. There are plenty of ways to create a peaceful and aesthetically pleasing home. Stay open-minded and let your creativity flow.
You have decided on the room’s mood, found a style you love, and made realistic choices to achieve those things; now, it’s time to clear the clutter.
Clear out things that don’t make sense in your life, items that are just collecting dust, and anything that you no longer love. You may have to be a bit tough with your choices here, but it is for the greater good of your newly designed room.
Starting with an empty room is a great place to start, but if you have items or furniture that you love and have incorporated into your design, then, by all means, keep them.
You can find tools online for free to help you create a floorplan, or you can draw up your own, or even use painters’ tape to map out where you are planning to put your furniture and the dimensions.
Doing this will help you decide if the room’s flow feels good and if everything will fit correctly. You don’t want to get everything into the room only for it to feel overcrowded or empty.
By now, you should have decided if you are going full-scale remodel or just adding some new finishes to the room. If you are painting, refinishing the floors, adding wallpaper, or using wall panels, then this is the time to do it.
If you have decided to upgrade the finishes but keep the wall color and existing floor, it is still a good idea to do them now while the room is relatively empty.
Bringing in your big pieces of furniture first will let you get them in place, and if you’re buying new, these will be the costliest. You can get the big expense out of the way, so you can start to focus on the smaller expenses.
After you have the bed, sofa, or the big furniture in the room you’re designing, it’s time to bring in the secondary furniture.
You have your room set up with all the furniture you want. You can start adding rugs, curtains, decorative pillows, and throws.
A room is not complete without being perfectly lit. You can add wall sconces, lamps, overhead lighting, or whatever you find that adds to the room’s flow.
Now that the room is put together, you can add any final touches in the way of accessories. Do you need a few picture frames on the mantel, candles on your dresser, at hung on the wall?
Other great accessories might be plants, sentimental items, books, or anything you feel adds to the room. This is a great way to infuse your personality into your space and bring it to life.
This is a simplified guide to help you see that designing your own space doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be very simple if you follow a few steps and take the time to figure out what you want.
Hopefully, you found some tips here that you can apply to your life and design a room you love that reflects your personality.
