Ideas On How To Make Your House Look Like A Model Home

By:


Is your new home looking a bit plain and far less impressive or inviting than the model homes decorated by your builder? Are you starting to wonder if your new home will ever look as good as you had imagined or if it is doomed to remain dull and lifeless?

Here's how you can get your home looking every bit as good as those model homes or the houses in magazines. Start with with one specific room in the model home or in a magazine that you absolutely love. Let's call this your dream room.

If possible, head on over to the model home to feel and study the space or the room you will get the best results. Ask the agent in charge if you are allowed to take a few photos of the models too. This will help when you get home and when you shop. Take a tape measure and a spiral notebook with you to make notes and draw sketches. I like the ones with plastic tabs and pockets inside.

Ask yourself what exactly you like about the room. Are all the walls the same color and the ceiling too? Consider the room's colors - which have been highlighted? Write this down. Is there a chair rail or decorative molding at the ceiling, wall covering or faux painting? What is on the floor? Is there tile, wood, carpet, area rugs? What color and texture and pattern? Is the area rug braided or a Persian rug or a contemporary design diagonally placed partly under one of the chairs and sofa?

What style is the furniture? Is it all a matching set? Do all the woods match? Perhaps the couch and love seat are of the same style, but the chairs have a particular pattern and the sofa is a solid or striped fabric. If the room is a kitchen, are there breakfast bar stools? If so, note the style of the kitchen stools, taking pictures if necessary. Make sure to write everything down.

Consider how the furniture is arranged. Draw yourself a floor plan so you don't forget when you get home. When you head back home, you should have a list of ideas of how you can improve your own room.

At the beginning, you should concentrate on the little things. Maybe rearrange your furniture to see how it changes your room's look and feel. Work your way up to painting and window treatments. Finally, if you have the cash, splurge on an item like new, trendy leather bar stools or a love seat. Be patient. Work on it little by little. If you take these steps, in time you will have your a dream room to call your own.
