An important element of successful decorating is to understand the people living in your home. Before creating your decorating plan you need to evaluate every family member by simply asking him or her some relevant questions, such as:
What is your furniture style preference?
What colors do you like?
Do you have fabric preferences?
Do you prefer formal or informal rooms?
What are your pet’s needs?
What type of hobbies or activities do you like?
Do you entertain small or large groups?
Ask as many questions as you need to, but understand that not every member in the family is going to have the same wants or needs for each room in the home. For example, there may be three people in the home who enjoy quiet reading and two who prefer watching television. It might be best to have different rooms for these activities because the noise factors are very different.
Rooms can be multifunctional by combining uses that are compatible, such as studying and recreational reading in one room and watching television and playing table games in another.
Prioritizing and compromising go hand in hand with successful decorating. Finding the balance and understanding the needs of everyone in the home will lead you to your perfect decorating plan.
