Choose a theme and colour scheme which compliments your décor and your interior design style.<br /><br />2. Try not to over complicate things and opt for quality over quantity. <br /><br />3. Decide which room or rooms you're going to spruce up and which ones don't need any real attention.<br /><br />4. Focus on the room where your tree is going to be placed as this is the room that people will gravitate towards.<br /><br />5. Don't forget 1st impressions count so try not to neglect your front door, entrance and hall.<br /><br />6. Think of new and innovative ways to make your decorations stand out from the crowd.<br /><br />7. Be realistic! There's no point in having a tree so large that nobody can sit down. If you want a large tree consider an alternative place for it such as the hallway or dining room.<br /><br />8. If you have small rooms look for trendy alternatives to a tree.<br /><br />9. If you really want a specific colour and it doesn't coordinate with your soft furnishings use <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/rugs/">cheap rugs</a>, cushions and throws to temporarily change your colour scheme.<br /><br />10. As we know up-cycling and home-made is bang on-trend within the world of interior design and what better way to show case your creative skills than creating a stunning interior to wow your family and friends!<br /><br />In the next post I'm going to share some wonderful colour schemes to get your interior design juices going!
