DIY Home Decor - First Home Decorating & New Home Ideas!

Whether you are decorating your first home or apartment, or settling into a new home for the third time, you want DIY home decor ideas that make your place feel like home right off the bat.
Once the unpacking has been done you want it to be yours; with your own unique home decor stamped all over it.
Guest blogger Interior Design Expert gives 8 great ways to inject style into your first home or your new home.
Getting some glamor into your new home is easy with a few simple decorating ideas you can steal here. You will find all 8 and more on the blog but here are some ideas to get you started.
Making a feature of your fireplace - or installing one - creates an instant focus for your room. It's instant cozy, character and a grounding piece for the rest of your decorating. Paint it, add a new mantel or just a few accessories like a basket, family photos or maybe wall sconces and you are almost done.
Use two rugs instead of one. The larger, plainer more hard wearing rug sits as a base and use a runner to add color, a great design and more interest. You can upgrade it or move it around at any time so the 'commitment' level is nice and low.
Lots of cushions always adds a feeling of comfort and luxury to any room - especially the bedroom. Switch them out anytime for new or seasonal colors and you have a new look.
White and bright! Adding a dash of color with painted stools changes the look of this kitchen. Repaint anytime with a new color like baby blue or emerald green or even black and you have a new look for your new kitchen.
A large art work, a photo gallery or some books, make your place feel lived in and cozy.
