Decorating

A New Home is like a Blank Canvas

May 18, 2017

A new home is like a blank canvas. This means that you'll be able to start decorating immediately without having to erase the evidence of another owner when you move in. In many cases, it's possible to choose a neutral paint color for your home and have the builder paint the walls before you even move in. When the walls are already painted, you'll be able to immediately add in your decorative touches without a lot of work.

If you've never used Pinterest, you might not be sure just how it can help you create a one-of-a-kind space in your new home. Pinterest is an online pin board where users can gather and collect photos of anything that they like. This can include recipes, exercise routines, and, of course, decorating tips!

To start, do a simple search on Pinterest to find images that you like. You can search by the room, or it's possible to search by color combinations. For instance, if you love the combination of a soothing grey and a pleasing purple for your master suite, search for those colors and see what appears. When you find a Mexican interior design you like, pin it to your own board.

In many cases, especially for products, the pin should point back to the originating site. This means that you'll be able to click over to the website or store and purchase the product directly. With Pinterest, it's possible to decorate your entire home without ever leaving it or setting foot into a shop.

Although neutrals are always popular, they don't always show off your personality especially if you like Mexican Hacienda style. If you're looking for a way to show off just who you are, don't be afraid of color! Consider inserting some personality into your living space by using a great wallpaper on one wall that complements the neutral colors on the other four walls, and then repeating that pop of color in accessories such as sofa cushions, artwork, a rug, and other decorating accessories. The result is a pulled together room that you'll love to relax in.

Starting with a blank canvas, using Pinterest to collect your ideas, and then implementing them with a pop of color or fun wallpaper are just a few ways you can decorate your house. If you're stumped and need some inspiration, turn to display homes in your local area. Displays are often decorated using some of the latest trends , and they're ideal ways to uncover what style you'd like to use in your own space.
