Rate Your Rooms

Using the same checklist, go through your house again and look at each room as if you are seeing it for the first time. If you are really brave you can have one of your outspoken friends carry out this task. If you do, remember that this is your house and you do have the final say. But often outside eyes can see things that you overlook because you have normalized them. And then, second opinions are useful if for no other reason than it gives you a chance to think about things that you can do to your place that you might not think of on your own.

Ask yourself these questions about each room:

Is all the furniture in the room being used?

What, if anything, is missing from the room?

Does the paint color need to be changed or refreshed?

Are there things about the room you love?

Are there things about the room you hate?

Once you have become more familiar with your home and can see the rooms as they are, not cluttered with papers, clothes, misplaced items, and things that do not work, you have a better idea of which rooms need help. If you are starting from a completely empty house, you have a clean slate.

It is worth mentioning here that even if you have functioning furniture and walls full of art work, you can strip your house down to the basics and start fresh. It is a good idea to remove everything from the room you decide to decorate. Carry it all out of the room and stack it in another room or the garage or wherever is the least inconvenient for you. Use the completely empty room as you canvas.

The first step is to clean the room while there is nothing on the floor or walls. You have the choice of doing it yourself or hiring someone to clean for you. This is a matter of budget and preference. Even if you plan to paint the walls, they still need to be clean. If you have carpets, you have another choice to make. Do you clean the carpets or do you replace them? If you replace them, do you replace them do you replace them with different carpet or some other type of flooring?
