As you shop, don't forget there are more options than retail or online, you might find great options at thrift or second hand shops. Also, consider tag or estate sales. You might be worrying…What if I spend all this money then get tired of my new furniture two-months later (buy with purpose)What if it clashes with my current décor (start by determining what stays and what goes)Or what if my soon-to-be dinner guests thinks it’s too understated or over the top (who cares, this is all about you) Redecorating can feel a little overwhelming...until now.

Or a calming, relaxing bedroom...2. Determine your Style (or styles) and the feeling you want to create. You are off to a great start, the quiz helped you to establish your core style. Now don't get hung up on a fear of "coloring outside the lines" as the best rooms mix styles that complement one another. Think about your room...emotion is as important as aesthetics. Describe your perfect room in 3-5 words. As you look at furniture, ask yourself if the selection you are considering fits into that framework. In other words, if your emotion words are warm, cozy, comfortable, you wouldn't select a sleek, contemporary chair. Pinterest is always a great place to collect inspiration that aligns with whatever vibe you're after. You’ll still have an array of options, but you’ll be able to make the final decision with more confidence knowing it suits your aesthetic.

So first determine, what color makes you happy...and not just a hue name, for example blue, but what version or saturation of blue. The blanket statement is that blue is calming, but not if it is a bright, clean, vibrant azure blue.
