4 Steps to Designing the Perfect Home with the Perfect Decor

When you are working with an architect and builder to create your dream home, there are many details that you will need to keep track of. With all of the choices that you will be making during the design and construction process, you will need to keep in mind how the inside of the home will look when everything is finished. These four steps will help you to design the perfect home with decor that suits your style and personality.



Natural Light
Natural light not only provides functionality to your home, but it also adds beauty. Natural light features the full spectrum of light, which is known to help boost your mood. It also helps you to feel wakeful in the morning and throughout the daytime. Design your home so that natural light can pour in through east, south and west facing windows. If possible, arrange the most windows to be on the south side of your home. This side of the home will get consistent sunlight throughout the day all year long.

Focal Spaces
Incorporate natural focal spaces into each room of your home. When you design each room, having a focal space such as a large window or a wall for mounting a television or hanging artwork provides grounding for the room. Focal spaces help your eyes to rest. The focal space also makes it easier to arrange furniture. To make your focal space pop, consider painting one wall in a vibrant color and leaving the rest in a neutral gray, beige, tan or white shade.

Interior Decorating
Interior decorating is also important to the design of your home. Consider the types of fabrics that you will use as draperies around your windows. Other aspects of interior decorating to keep in mind include the use of mirrors and art work. Professionals, like those at Stephanie Kratz Interiors, know how important it is to consider these sort of things when decorating a home. Artificial lighting sources, such as chandeliers, pendant lights, sconces and lamps also play a factor in the interior decorating of your new home.

Textured Cabinetry
Cabinetry plays an essential role in your new home. In the kitchen and bathroom, cabinetry often becomes the focus of the space. Cabinetry is also important in your walk-in closet, built-in storage and laundry area. Consider textured cabinetry that adds visual appeal and coordinates with the flooring.

Designing the perfect home is a personal process. Including some of your favorite types of decor, fixtures and plenty of light helps to customize the space. These four steps will help you create a well-decorated home.

Homeowners who are considering selling their homes may be faced with a few decisions to make before they try listing. While there are certain times when the market is hot and buyers are willing to purchase buildings in any condition, this isn’t always the case, especially in some areas.

Selling as is may get you out of the immediate cost of the replacement, but it could make the home harder to sell or it may mean you have to sell for less.
