It should showcase your personal interests, the area in which you live, your culture, your talents, whatever it is that you love. In other words, your home should not look like a showroom in a furniture store. Your home should have signs of life \u2013 your life!<\/p>\n<p>I also encourage you to keep up with the current trends and fashions in home d\u00e9cor. However, try not to follow the trends to the extent that you leave out any imprint of your own individuality from the design.<\/p>\n<p>It is a decorating myth that good decorating must be limited only to one specific design style. That seems quite absurd if you consider that as an individual, you have many facets to your personality, and that an average household has two or more people living within the same rooms!<\/p>\n<p>So if you are starting a project, give serious thought to your personal preferences, your lifestyle, and then set a budget. Prioritize your needs, and consider that upholstered pieces, floor coverings and window treatments will be with you for a long time. Buy the best quality that you can afford when it comes to these pieces. Accessories, such as pillows and decorative accents, can be trendier, as they do not have to be quite as expensive. As your style evolves, your accessories may be the first elements to reflect any change. And if you\u2019re just not sure what style you prefer at this point, consider consulting with a professional decorator. He or she can start you on your way to finding your own personal sense of style.<\/p>\n<p>===================================<\/p>\n<p><em>Leslie Sarmiento, owner of Decorating Den Interiors, is a speaker, author and interior decorator.
