Is your home or condo in need of a little updating? Does your rental property need to be refreshed to increase rental income? Tom Machamer with The Tamarind Group gives some helpful hints on designing on a dime on Scenic 30A and the Emerald Coast.
Redecorating your home or condo can be a daunting task. Many questions will arise while considering the process:
Where do I start?
Can I afford a decorator?
What rooms are the most important?
What attracts potential renters and buyers?
What every homeowner should know is that your main living space and your master bedroom should be first on your “to do” list.
If you are trying to keep your costs down, consider keeping the larger anchor items, such as sofas, dining tables and chairs, headboards, chests and etc.
You can create a positive impact by doing the following:
Add items like accent pillows, lamps, artwork, accessories, area rugs, bedding and paint. These items are relatively inexpensive and will add a dramatic change to the look of your space, and best of all can be accomplished by the homeowner in a short period of time.
Decide on a color scheme to bring all the new and current items together. Lay out your plan on paper and then decide on a plan of attack.
When considering colors think of colors that affect a comfortable feel with a few bold accents. Most rooms benefit from lighter cool colors that are inviting and create the perception of volume of space. This will also put the attention on the added accents and add a clean uncluttered look to the space. Your paint colors should not be so bold as to overshadow your other choices, they should compliment them.
Decorating (or re-decorating) should be fun and relatively easy. An interior decorator can guide you along the process or manage the process from start to finish. The Tamarind Group offers a wide range of interior design services and buying options to meet your needs and budget.
