If you have purchased a new house in a pre-planned community, then you have to re-visit the developer's replica house for the style which attracted to the home!

Ex-show home furniture and soft furnishings are a great way to exactly replicate the look, however, you should remember that all of the other home owners who also visited the show home may instantly recognise what you have done!

While furnishing a family room or living room, choose two smaller two seater sofas instead of one big one. They will be very easy to move and can be utilised creating different looks effortlessly. Think about how you use the room when deciding where to place your furniture. Try and move away from having all the furniture located and positioned agaist the walls. Cluster pieces to create informal and relaxed areas to form discussion spots and relaxing areas rather than purely group everything around the TV!

Be innovative with tables. Opt for interesting bases which are practical as well as visiually attractive. Be bold and create your own tables, rectangular or round, of plywood, after that cover up with an undercloth of felt (for some softness) add an attractive tablecloth of fabric. You can utilise these as bedside tables or in your living room to place lamps and objects on. If fabric is not your choice, look for quirky tops or simply paint a wood top to create a focal point for your rooms!

Select a colour scheme and stick to it. Begin with an anchor color or white and choose accessories or fabrics to enhance the colour plan.

They will look grand anywhere you position them which is a cost effective way of making the most of what you already have!

If you are short on fixed storage space like closets, attempt to pick a furnishing that has storage capacity in them, for example a coffee table with drawers underneath.

Purchase vases, lamps, cheap cushions and side chairs in pairs. They will add continuity and symmetry to a house. As you progress, they would also provide the alternative of utilising every piece in two different rooms if required.
