Before you take the big step and start to redecorate your house, make sure you check out these 7 tips to make sure you can avoid mistakes along the way.
#1 Don’t Fear Second Hand
Oftentimes we feel as though we need to get new furniture or we’re not redecorating, you couldn't be further away from the truth. There is plenty of good used furniture, and second hand comes at a big discount. You may be thinking now that you want to spare no expenses, but they add up.

#3 Measure Everything
You may like a bed, painting, coffee table, or what have you, but make sure it fits the room. If it’s too big, you run into the problem of having the piece of decoration taking over the room. It may make maneuvering or other things difficult, or it could just look clumsy.

#4 Bed Sheets
Your bed is the focal point of your bedroom, and buying new sheets can be a quick fix to design problems. However, most people reach for super high thread count sheets, but they are over spending. This is a great design and financial tip for people renovating their bedroom.

#5 Choose Furniture With Casters
Choose furniture with casters especially for dining areas. This is a simple way to speed up vacuuming, sweeping and mopping as you should just roll the table out before start cleaning.

#6 Durable Stain Resistant Fabric
The leather is a perfect choice for people with small children because it is effortless to wipe off. But bear in mind to avoid white leather as it gets dirty very quickly. A much better choice is darker colours like black, taupe, grey, chocolate or brandy.

#7 Carpet Tiles
Choose carpet tiles beyond wall-to-wall carpet or area rugs. They are easy to vacuum such as other flooring options but when it comes to accidental spills, you can clean the mess for no time. Just take out a single tile, wash it in the sink and once it is dried, put it right back down.
