How Do I Dress Down My Room




Have you ever asked yourself how do I dress down my room?



That sounds crazy but you can dress down your room and get a totally new look and feel.



So many of us want to display all of our family photographs -- it's like keeping them close to us. Others of us feel this need to place every nik-nak gift that someone has given us out in all of the rooms. Then there are those of us that constantly purchase cute things we see and sit them around the room.

At some point most of us realize that all of these things have become clutter and dust catchers. We even start to feel our space closing in on us. We all need a change of scenery and our rooms at home are a great place to start.


Here's how to dress down a room:

  • Get 3 big boxes and label them - USE, STORE, DONATE
  • Remove all furniture, accessories, and rugs from the room
  • As you remove the accessories (cute things, pictures, clutter) place them in one of the 3 boxes

Now that your room is empty start placing your core items back inside:

  • If the rug is large enough to touch all major furniture then it goes first. If it is smaller leave it out
  • Next bring in the sofa or bed
  • Now add the chairs
  • Only use tables and case goods that are really necessary
  • Bring back the lamps

Arrange the furniture so that it compliments and shows your focal point in the room. Make sure you achieve a comfortable walking path as you go. Now look back into that box labeled USE and pull out the best item first and place it either on the wall or table. The idea is to use a basic group of 3 or 5 items on a table with one of the pieces being a lamp. Vary the heights to get a pleasing look. Here's a sample...lamp, 8 x 10 family photo, low potted flower or greenery. Now move on to the next table. Are you getting the picture now?
