1.    Integrating New Decorating Ideas

Decorating one room often affects adjoining rooms, so it's important to integrate new decorating ideas. If you're content with the space next door, draw on its colors, furnishings, and overall flavor for ideas. Maintaining a similar palette will foster cohesion.

2.    Keep Wall Colors Light and Neutral

Neutral walls give you the greatest decorating flexibility, allowing you to easily switch up your accessories. And if you have two small rooms next to each other, painting them the same neutral color helps them feel larger.

3.    Let The Sun Shine In

If your room gets a lot of sun, opt for light colors that won't fade. The most recommended lightweight fabrics for panels are cotton, linen, and silk blends because they tend to hang well.

4.    Set The Tone at The Front Door

Make a great first impression, paint the front door a fun, glossy hue. "Red is a lucky color in many cultures. Get rid of screen door or replace it with a storm door with full-length glass that you can switch out for a screened panel.

5.    Decorating with Color

Decorating with color reveals quite a bit about a person. Right now, you're probably wearing your favorite hue -- taupe, lavender, pink? Studies have shown that color, in every aspect of our lives, affects us emotionally and physically.

6.    Make Sure Your Sofa Talks to Your Chairs

The furniture is arranged in groupings that invite conversation. When you place the furniture in your living room, aim for a similar sense of balance and intimacy. "A conversation area that has a U-shape, with a sofa and two chairs facing each other at each end of the coffee table, or an H-shape, with a sofa directly across from two chairs and a coffee table in the middle, is ideal.

7.    Hang at Least One Mirror in Every Room

Mirrors can make a space feel brighter because they bounce the light around the room, Put mirrors on walls perpendicular to windows, not directly across from them.

8.    Scale Artwork to Your Wall

Meaning that the centre of the picture should be on the eye level of an average height person.

9.    Layer Your Lighting

Every room should have three kinds of lighting: ambient, which provides overall illumination and often comes from ceiling fixtures, task, which is often found over a kitchen island or a reading nook; and accent, which is more decorative, highlighting, say, artwork.

10. Anchor Rugs under Furniture Feet

Follow these basic rules for an area rug: "In a living room, all four legs of the sofa and chairs in a furniture grouping should fit on it; the rug should define the seating area.

11. Balance with Decorating

Achieving balance with decorating emphasizes a visually pleasing arrangement of furnishings, all of which are a comfortable fit or scale for the room. Heights and sizes may and should vary for greater vitality, but the juxtaposition is carried out with purpose.

12. Call in a Pro to Declutter.

You can hire an organizer for a few hours  to tackle bookshelves and closets, which stagers say are often packed with twice the amount of stuff they should hold. Then mix horizontal stacks of books among the vertical rows and intersperse decorative objects, such as bowls or vases, among them.

13. Use Visual Tricks to Raise The Ceiling

If your ceilings are on the low side, paint them white to make the room feel less claustrophobic. Hang curtains higher than the windows. Try vertical stripes; the lines visually elongate your walls. Leaning a large mirror against a wall can also make a room seem taller.

14. Give Outdated Finishes The Cinderella Treatment

Got dated fixtures? Reinvent them with spray paint and inexpensive refinishing kits.

15. Decorating with Texture and Patterns

A room full of the same thing is boring. Instead, you could combine surfaces, finishes, and even periods. Decorating with texture and patterns makes a room interesting and alive. Contrasts of smooth and rough, thick and thin, shiny and dull pump up the interest quotient and prevent a room from appearing too staid. That's why the pros mix stripes with checks, pile rugs on tiled floors, and marry leather with wicker.

I hope that these ideas will help you people in changing your house into a comfy homey home with less effort and minimal investment. So Just Do It, and have happy holidays.
