How To Find Your Personal Style In Home Decorating

By Janice Nickole

Does your living room or bedroom lack style and comfort? Are you ready to create a space that is both stylish and comfortable for your friends and family? Something you are proud to show and not be embarrassed?

So how can you decorate your home to be stylish, inviting and comfortable? Decorating your space starts with your personal style. Your personal style is a reflection of you. Do you know what your personal style is?

Your personal style is collected through your life's experiences, travel. Education, shopping sprees and more, and add memorabilia that can be proudly displayed in every room in the house.

These collectables are a reflection of your style and personal taste. What made you smile when you picked it up at the market place? Was it the gold picture frame you purchased in England? Or perhaps it was the pottery on your last Italy trip?

All the special memorabilia that you've collected, whether it came from a special vacation cruise or second hand store were purchased because you liked it or it made you feel good. This is what your personal style is.

Now if you are in doubt about what your personal style is, take a stroll to a few furniture stores in your area. They will display designer showcase or "vignettes" that will give you tons of decorating ideas for your home, from furniture to lamps and everything in between.

These vignettes will display various interior rooms like living room, dining room, bedroom and kitchen, completely decorated, and will give you great decorating ideas for your home project.

If you plan to purchase on one of these shopping sprees, first and foremost, make sure you have your measurements readily available. Never buy furniture without measuring your space.

Besides shopping furniture stores, you can shop online to get your decorating ideas. Also, clip out your favorite home decors from decorating magazines. Ask yourself what you like best and least about your selections in the vignettes and magazine cut outs. These pictures will always inspire you and help you to connect with your personal style.
