Once you have completed the purchase of your home, it is normal to want to change the furniture according to evolving tastes or to match the dynamic of the new space. Even if you’re renting a place, you want to make it feel like a home, says Bighorn Rentals team. Here are some tips for quickly decorating your new house.
Make a Decorating Budget
A good way to make sure you stay within your price range for furnishing is to create a decorating budget. The easiest way to do this is to divide the furniture you want into rooms and create an individual cost breakdown for each area. Additionally, noting items that need to be prioritized, such as a dining table and a couch, versus optional purchases like artwork or end tables, can help you determine the amount you would like to spend on essentials, as well as the amount you should have leftover for miscellaneous items. This budget is a great base number to work with if you want to move costs around further into the project.

Decide on a Theme
Although it can be entertaining and inventive to mix and match furniture pieces to your liking, it is always a good idea to find a common theme for your furnishings. For example, if you are a rustic person, you may lean towards log cabin decor and furniture. Having pieces that are coordinated together can help create a sense of peace and harmony in your home. You may also want to consider picking a theme that will stand the test of time so that you will not have to completely overhaul your decorating scheme when home trends inevitably shift in the coming years.
Incorporate Feng Shui
As it is becoming increasingly popular, the Chinese art of spatial organization, or feng shui, has been shown to have real benefits in terms of arranging the furniture in your home. Arrange your new items in a way to keep your house systematically less cluttered, which will help lower stress levels and give you relief and comfort when you arrive home. One of the most important elements of feng shui is to incorporate furniture around the energy flow of the space. It is also a good idea to create areas that serve multiple functions and purposes as well.
Furnishing a new house can be a difficult and sometimes overwhelming task. With these tips, you will be sure to find the decorations you want and incorporate them into the size of your space as well as your budget.

Great tips. I just know my house is out of Feng Shui order. I am afraid to check. 😉 Thank you for sharing with and co-hosting at #omhgww.
Im not really good when it comes to placing decor items, so when researching, I learned more about Feng Shui. I have always loved the idea of zen decor too.
Good tips, I definitely have to budget but I am terrible at keeping to a theme. Need to work on that.
I like you dont really have a theme, I know what I like when I see it, but putting it together is tough.
