Don’t Start in the Furniture Store
Whenever you are planning to buy furniture for your new home then you should not buy in panic just because you have an empty home. Always take the measurement and then go for furniture. The furniture must according to your interiors like the wall and other items. Sometimes we like some furniture in the store and end up buying it without measuring. It may don’t adjust to the area specified by you. Take a rough idea and then plan where you want to place your sofa, bed, side table, coffee table and many more. Once you decide it then go for the store and buy according to allocated space.
Know Your Measurements
Start in the room you’re looking to furnish, armed with a measuring tape and a notepad. Before you start designing, measure the length and width of each room you intend to decorate, along with the ceiling height and elements that could get in the way – stairs, columns and other obstructions. It’s also a good idea to measure window openings, along with the wall space below, above and to the sides of each one, to get ready for window coverings.
Create a Floorplan
If you are good at design then you should draw a rough layout of all furniture. It will give you an idea about how much moving space left between furniture and also how they will look once fully organised.
If you can afford an interior designer then they have an expertise of tools like AutoCAD. Professional interior designers have a good experience of organising any house. Once you have the outline of the space, start experimenting with the placement of furniture, making sure that the footprint of each piece is scaled to match the size of the drawing.
Decide which theme you like most
This is a very tricky part, and there are no right or wrong answers for this. According to layout and designs, rooms can be traditional or modern, formal or relaxed, and visually warm or cool. All looks good depends upon person to person. Most of us like simple and formal theme while many of us like some glossy and bright theme. You should organise according to your taste.

Add proper Rugs and Mats
Rugs and mats are always useful in your house. A living room with hardwood floors but no rug looks naked. A rug will also help to protect the floor and carpet. You can install a rug that covers almost the entire floor of the room, leaving a border or just a foot or two at the edges. It will look great and works best in smaller rooms.
You can also break a larger room into multiple seating areas by using rugs to visually hold each group of furniture together.
Control the Light
You should properly control light both natural as well as artificial lights. Most of us are sensitive to sunlight while sleeping, there should be the complete elimination of sunlight. Also, there should be proper lights in kitchen and study.
Lastly, remember that decorating your home should be fun. You should always enjoy all of its steps. Listen to everyone, get new ideas on the internet and also check around other houses to get an idea to enhance the beauty. Every small step adds into your home decor.
