South France Immobilier Property & Luxury French Real Estate by RHF International

Does your living room or bedroom lack style and comfort? Are you ready to create a space that is both stylish and comfortable for your friends and family? Something you are proud to show and not be embarrassed?

Of course you would, but where do you start? It starts with knowing what your personal style is. Your personal style is a reflection of you and your past and present experiences.

Your personal style is discovered as you experience life. Your education, the friends you meet, the places you visit, your shopping trips, all add memories and memorabilia to collect that can be tastefully displayed in your home.

You have collectables that can be displayed throughout your home that reflects your personal tastes and style. Perhaps it was the vases you purchased from Italy, or the accent rug from China.

All these collectables, whether from a special vacation of a lifetime or a simple, quick stop at your favorite home store, is exactly what your personal style is all about. All these items you purchased were exactly what you liked, made you smile, made you feel good.

Now if you’re not sure what your personal style is, I suggest that you take some time to visit your local furniture stores and designer showcases. They will display “vignettes” or an arrangement of furniture, fabric, color and home accents that will certainly get your juices flowing.

You will see living room vignettes, bedroom, kitchen and dining rooms. These vignettes will help you to formulate what you like and don’t like. You’ll see a variety of color, texture and accents that will aid you in your decision making process.

But always remember this rule of thumb. Never purchase furniture without measuring your space first. These kinds of mistakes will be very costly for you.

Besides shopping furniture stores, you can shop online to get your decorating ideas. Also, clip out your favorite home decors from decorating magazines. Ask yourself what you like best and least about your selections in the vignettes and magazine cut outs. These pictures will always inspire you and help you to connect with your personal style.
