- 1). Meet with an interior decorator. Have the decorator come to your home and assess your current design. Ask the decorator for her professional opinion on repainting and redecorating your house. The decorator might charge a consultation fee and assist you with shopping, ordering and delivery set up of your purchases.
- 2). Go to the library and check out books on home design that you can then take home and spend your time reviewing. You also can look through decorating magazines at the library. Unlike hiring a decorator. this option is free.
- 3). Buy home decorating magazines, and clip out photos of looks you like. Home décor magazines range from general home ideas to specific styles such as Victorian or cottage. Tear out pictures of rooms you want to emulate, and check the credits for information on the colors, products and furniture brands that created the décor.
- 4). Visit the website of a paint company, and use the online tools to see what colors would look like in different rooms. Some websites allow you to upload a photo of your room and select colors to view how they would appear in your room. There is usually a small fee involved with this, but you can view paint colors in rooms from their data base for free.
- 5). Go to home design websites, and review hundreds of home décor photos. Many sites contain data bases with searchable features by room, project design or room color for easy perusal. Check the online forums of the site for ideas. Review the photos in the profiles of other users who have completed projects. Print out your favorite photos to use when making decisions about color and remodeling.
