Be careful of what you put on your walls
Decorating a home can be a very exciting and interesting
event and looking at other homes to get ideas can be a lot of fun and very
informative. The best places to go to get the most up to date ideas is new
model homes, the builders make the models look very beautiful so the potential
buyers see what they can have if they buy the home.
One big warning though, some of the things that they put in
the model homes may not be the most practical decorations for the everyday
homeowner. Remember the builder, when they decorate their homes only care that
they look good for the duration of the sale of the homes in the tract, but when
you decorate your home, you want the look to be relevant for years.
Stay away from Wallpaper
I really think that wallpaper is a huge mistake to put in a
home. First of all it is very difficult to keep clean, especially if it has fancy indentations and even if you are able
to clean it, it can be very tiresome looking at the same wallpaper for a very
long time. Once the wall paper is on the wall, you can’t just change it, it is
very time consuming and work intense to change wall paper not to mention the
cost if you have someone do it for you.
Don't go crazy with tile
As much as I love tile on the floor,tile on walls is also a big no no. In my opinion. Just like
wallpaper, it can get old fast to look at, but the one difference from wall
paper is that tile is much easier to clean. Getting the tile off the wall, just
like wall paper is a real hassle and again can be costly to have someone do it
for you.
Get creative, over and over
In my business of Property Management, I recommend
paint to all my clients and Tenants and for the most part my recommendations
are followed. You can be very creative with paint and once you get tired of
looking at your creativity, you can change the paint that you have on the wall
and be creative all over again. Changing the paint in a room, can make it seem
like you are in a whole new room and painting trim can give an ordinary room
much needed class and distinction.
I always recommend going on Behr.com and start fooling
around with colors on their interactive site and you will be able to get an
idea of what you may like to see in your home. If you spend enough time on the
web site you will become an expert in colors and matching them, well maybe not
an expert but you will become comfortable with making and matching colors.
Before you put anything on your walls, make sure you thing
about how difficult and costly it will be to change whatever it is you put there.
