Decorating your home with the flair of a professional doesn't need to be complicated or expensive if you follow these tips.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Budget
Decorating magazines and catalogs
Internet access
List of essentials
Sketch
Flea markets and garage sales (optional)

Step 1: Set a decorating budget

Set a reasonable budget based on the size of the project and the amount you can actually afford to spend.

Step 2: Look at decorating magazines and catalogs

Look through interior decorating magazines or online catalogs for ideas and decorating tips. Cut out or print pictures of ideas you like and make a file.

Tip: Bring pictures when you shop. Pictures can go a lot further toward describing a look you want.

Step 3: Determine a color scheme

Determine a color scheme. Study color schemes to determine the feelings they evoke, and the effect they have on the sense of a room's proportion.

Step 4: Make a list

Make a list of items to purchase, staying within the budget.

Tip: You can find bargains at flea markets and garage sales -- someone else's junk can be your treasure.

Step 5: Draw a sketch

Sketch out a few different layout ideas. Be playful with furniture layout and art arrangement until you find what works for you.

Step 6: Make it your own

Trust your instincts, and use decorating as an opportunity to showcase your personal style.

@WoozyReaper ohhhh learn to take a joke dumbass, alls I watch is HGTV and every guy that decorates is gay, I have nothing against them, I was making fun of Howcast cuz they pick the most dumbest things for a "how to"

[WoozyReaper]

Damn, aren't you mature.

You don't have to be gay to have style dumbass.

You would rather live in a white box then to have a nice couch and walls?

People like you make me lose faith in humanity.

[HAMayoral]

None of this is helpful! Except for the flea market fact.

[AngeL0fHeLL99]
