Moving to a new home is a great chance to hit reset and get a fresh perspective. One way to shake things up is to adopt a new style for your new abode. This can be a bit daunting if you don’t have any experience with decorating or interior design, but here are some tips to guide you along.

Cheat

Yes, cheat. You don’t have to invent a completely new style to give your home a fresh look. Take a look at home decor magazines and websites and see what appeals to you. If you have a partner, browse together. The way to get a great, unique style (without taking design courses or being a visionary home decorator) is to pick pieces of established styles that you like, and find cool ways to combine them.

It’s Cheaper to Keep

Consider what you’ll be bringing into this new home. Are you keeping some of your furniture? Most of it? All of it? It sure is cheaper that way. Don’t adapt a new style of decor that will clash with the furniture or framed art that’s moving with you. Make sure you and your life partner are on the same page as to what items you keep and what you get rid of.

Window Coverings

Window coverings can really set the tone for a home. Do you like the coverings in the home you’re moving into or will you be replacing them? This is a big question for your budget. Talk to your partner. Should you keep these old brown shutters? Should you get long, elegant, flowing drapes or sheer curtains? If you care about efficiency and convenience you could get automatic or remote-adjustable blinds.

Consider the Floors

Replacing floors can totally change the look of a house, but it can be expensive. Consider if there are any practical reasons to replace the floor. If not, consider working with it. Well-chosen rugs can do wonders. If the room is busy, you may want a neutral tone rug. If the floor is plain, consider getting a rug with style and color. But make sure it doesn’t clash with the color of your decor.

Be Thrifty

Good thrift stores are full of funky pieces that you won’t see in magazines. Don’t go overboard, but find a few unique pieces for your home to make it special. And you save money by buying used.
