Visions of
endless fabric samples, multi-coloured paint chips with elegant
names and huge piles of decorator publications dance before your
eyes. You ponder how to tackle your latest decorating project in
your new home.
As your mind swirls, you wonder how it will
all come together. Maybe you feel timid, awed by the creative and
artistic abilities of others. But a decorating project is not quite
so overwhelming if you think of its basic planning elements.

Decorating success depends on
your confidence in matching your ideas, abilities and budget. This
sounds complicated, but it really means that your best decorating
tools will be your taste and style
The art of clever
planning is to consider all your limitations and don't let them
spoil your plans. Set your budget and make this decorating project
an enjoyable experience.
As a start, look through decorating
books and magazines. Think about what you want and be critical about
colours and styles.
Visit stores to browse and take
advantage of in-store consultants' expertise. Find out what's new in
materials, colours, gadgets and trends. Discuss any concerns about
what might work for you. Where possible, take home colour and fabric
samples so you can view them under the right conditions.
