Decorating suggestions for new town home?

First congrats on your new home, it looks lovely. Second, If I were you, I would scour decorating magazines and HGTV as well as here on Hometalk. I think you should start with a small room, like a spare bedroom, test your skills and ideas there and work up your courage. Ask for input from friends and family whose taste you admire. Select some inspiration pieces, like artwork or throw pillow and use those colors to help you point in a direction. Go to furniture stores, look at how they stage their displays. Look at some of the local adult school classes or local stores who offer classes. My Pottery Barn has classes for various themes.

I love the openness. I'd say start with good pieces of furniture. Find a sofa you love and maybe build from there. I'm eclectic and don't have just one style. I get what I like and what brings me joy. If it doesn't make you happy it's not worth it. Use fabrics to give your home the feel you're looking for. I have good luck at Home Goods. They have lots of different kinds of things to give you ideas. And there are loads of websites to look at as well.

I suggest spending money on consulting a designer/decorator. This will be the best investment you make for your new home (congratulations!). It's more than just color and style, it's about where to place the furniture, what types of furniture will make the best use of space and function. I'm sure you can find many online or in your area.

If u love farmhouse go to magnolia.com I think it is. Joanna Gaines has her own paint colors and u can go buy some really cool

stuf from her shop to accent w. Paint some tables then lightly sand them bare in some spots. Put ship lap on an accent wall and paint. Wall planters r really in for farm house style. Take some old books and cut your initials out w them or words like love. My husband did it for me. They r very cute! Go to flea markets for inspiration pieces that will be cheaper to paint! Good luck!

The possibilities are endless!! I always find a fabric or a painting that I love and then pull colors out of that to use as accessories, paint, etc. good luck.

Agree with above , coordinate your paint and your fabrics, it will look stunning, browse HomeTalk.com for idea's such as framing in the t.v., area rugs and artwork you can do easily make yourself along with coordinating your bathroom colors, get the basics, you will find that over time you keep adding items, introducing new colors, etc. Have fun with the new project and take your time, no need to rush let it evolve.

Paint is cheap and packs a big punch.Grey looks great in a bedroom,light blue or light gold too. Pick out your couch and a recliner or comfortable chair and go from there.Homegoods is a great source for window treatment,frames and chairs and terrific prices.Take your time with tables and lamps.

Good Luck!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful ideas!! I appreciate it very much! Elyme I had thought of light gray or blue also. I will have to check out Homegoods, Magnolia, & the other recommended sites.
