The first and most important step in home decorating is to understand your style and personality. Without understanding yourself and your style, you won’t be able to create a home that reflects who you are. Take time to consider your style preferences and think about what makes you feel relaxed, energized, and inspired. Think about colors, fabrics, textures, and patterns that you are drawn to. Pay attention to the items that you find yourself gravitating towards. What type of art do you prefer? What type of furniture do you like? What type of lighting do you like? The answers to these questions will help you to understand your style and personality.
