When you first move into a new home, there\u2019s a kind of urgency to buy get the whole place decorated and furnished as quickly as possible. But doing things this way may not be the best approach for achieving a coordinated and beautiful home.<\/p>\n
If you can bear to wait, it\u2019s a good idea to live with the house as it is for a while so that you get a really sense of how it is to live there, where the morning light falls and how rooms look during different times of the day. By doing this, you\u2019ll be able to choose the most appropriate colours for the walls and decide on things like flooring choices that really work well in your home.<\/p>\n
So, if you\u2019re deciding which furniture to take from your old house to the new one and what to leave behind, you might be better off taking it all with you and using it while you get used to the new house.<\/p>\n
Of course, there may be some things that actually don\u2019t fit in the new place, so you should go and measure up before putting everything on the removals list. Some items that you have might be in need of repairing or fixing up, and in that case you need to decide whether they actually are worth keeping.<\/p>\n
Anything that doesn\u2019t come with you can be replaced with a quick trip to the furniture<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span> store. If you don\u2019t know what particular decorating theme you are going to use then you can always buy cheap items in Harveys clearance<\/a> <\/strong>or end of season sales. These may not make the final cut for your new home but they\u2019ll be good enough to see you through the next year or two.<\/p>\n
