DEFINE YOUR STYLE

Is Provence a trend that comes close to you, or are you a pathological classic enthusiast? Or are you one of those eclectic who loves mixed with less than anything else? Okay, you're right, these terminologies are like speaking French. Moreover, it is not possible to completely separate some of them from each other. All you have to do is take a deep look at yourself.

IDENTIFY YOUR NEEDS
You have done with your style. Now that you know at what direction you may go for visual appreciation. What about the needs? They can be both abstract and concrete. Let’s say you are a bookworm, so that’s pretty normal that you may look for a bookshelf or a library looking decoration ideas. However, if you are having guests frequently, positioning the dining table and the size of it may be more crucial for you. These are concrete examples. Beyond that, creating a relaxing atmosphere, a room that motivates you to work and study can be ideal for abstraction in decorative notions. The most accurate way out is that making a list of those and sharing it with the others you live together. While listing the stuff, the dimensions of the space and the objects are important, for this reason, calculating them with a tape measure can be very useful for you. If you give as much specific detail as possible in accordance with your style while determining your needs, your job will be easier in the next step. For instance; 1 piece of two-and-a-half-meter red sofa. At this stage, our most important recommendation is not to make a definition like 'X at home' while determining your needs. Remember, this place is your living space that should be shaped by your habits, tastes and needs.
BUDGETING
Decoration is an endless sea. It is possible to create an alike view with hundreds or thousands of dollars. The important thing here is how much budget you allocate for this job. If you have created your requirement lists in detail, it will be easier for you to manage your budget. Key parts that stand out in decoration, infrastructure solutions that cannot be corrected or constructed later (such as electrical installation or floor covering material, for example), allocate more space in the budget and create complementary parts that can be purchased later and change seasonally with more economical solutions, manage your budget It can be an ideal method.
