Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon offers a wide variety of items to add beauty and interest to your home. People may tell you that there are rules to home decorating that you must follow, but the only rule we believe in is that you need to decorate a room to make yourself happy. Every other "rule" is simply a guideline that you may follow for help if you choose.
Start with this in mind...
First of all, you will need to begin with functional pieces like seating, lamps, and tables. Everything else that you add is meant to set a mood and bring your personality to the room. Start with your favorite color or an item that you love and find inspiring. Everything else will begin taking shape from there.Pick your key pieces.
This will be your furniture. Scale is very important, so always keep the size of the room in mind when you are shopping. A great big sectional couch in a tiny room leaves no space for anything else, and a huge room with only a few single chairs placed around it will seem like it's missing something. Taking a few measurements before shopping will help a lot.
Decorate the open surfaces.
Every coffee table, bookshelf, or other surface in a room is an opportunity to set a scene or tell a story. Grouping something that you collect in one area is a great way to showcase your favorite things in a decorative way. A cute plaque with a funny saying about a hobby of yours brings whimsy to a room. These surfaces are also the perfect place to fill with picture frames highlighting the memories and people in your life.That being said, you don't have to cover every single surface. Too many things in a room can make it look cluttered. Keep it simple, and if you can't find space for everything that you would like to show off, change the display occasionally. Switch out your home decor items with the season or once a month.
Add pops of color and texture.
For a room with a neutral color palette, a splash of color here and there brings with it interest and personality. Placing colorful candles around the room is excellent for this. If your room is already full of bright color, ground it with accents of black or white. Feel free to play with different patterns and textures too. Everything in a room doesn't have to match perfectly, but the items should all complement each other. 
Don't forget the walls.
Once you have all of the furniture in place and your tables and shelves decorated, move on to the the biggest flat surface in the room - the walls. This can sometimes be scary for people because you hate putting a hole in the wall if you aren't 100% sure that it's the right spot. We wrote a blog last January on How to Beautifully Hang Artwork that is filled with helpful tips. It won't happen overnight.
You will need to have a little patience while waiting for your perfect room to emerge. Slowly building a look you love means that you are less likely to change your mind dramatically down the road. Decorate with things that you truly love and you can't go wrong. And if you do, don't worry, none of it is permanent. Any time you feel like changing things up, go for it.
