Start with a plan. You should have a vision and overall goal for the space. Don’t just think about how you want it to look but think about how you want it to feel. For example, do you want a light and airy vibe? Or are you going for a more fun and laid-back feel? Start with a vision board. You could create a physical board but it’s so much easier to use an online tool such as Pinterest. Creating a Pinterest board will let you store, and easily get back to, anything that connects to your vision for the space.

Next, you need to prep. Now that the design decisions have been made, and new pieces have been ordered, you should get the space ready for all the pretty new things. Go ahead and tackle any projects that might be messy such as painting or new flooring. It may even be something as simple as an accent wall. You just want to be sure to get all the messy stuff out of the way before you bring in any new furniture. The last thing you want is to get paint or sawdust on a beautiful new piece of furniture.
