I have to tell you now that I am not an interior designer, so I probably can’t give you good and proper instructions on how to choose the right furniture for your space. Even though I took a few classes in collage and have been applying some of the theories to my own home, I can only share with you my personal process on how to pick and decorate your space to make it a dream come true space.
In today’s post I will share with you my “Basic Décor Tips” I’m using to decorate my home, plus showing you the newest Vanity corner, I put together since last month.
Let’s get started, shall we?

Tip 1: Get the Feel
My first thing I take into action when designing each space, is to come up with the felling of it. You can ask yourself a few of these questions below:
- What’s the purpose of this space? (Relaxing, Excitement, Encouraging or etc.)
- Do you want it to look modern, timeless, fun or what’s your main theme?
You will have to take some time to answer these questions just to get the feel of it. Identifying the purpose of your space will make it a lot easier when designing your area.
For example, if you’re designing a family area, you have to think in advance of what activities will you have in there. Is it just for the family to hangout and watch movies, or will it also be a place that you can host a fun party for 12, or will it be your snooze zone? If your family area is for a snooze zone, how to décor it will be totally different from arranging for a fun party. You see what I mean? Each purpose has its own feeling. Considering defining the purpose of your space in the first stage will be of big help before you choose your furniture and decoration pieces.
Talking about the era of your space, I always go for a few eras when choosing the furniture and décor accents. I feel like picking furniture with only one timeframe is too traditional and too formal for my untraditional taste.
You can see here that my Mirror and neon signs are a bit more vintage and the table, stool and my gold planter are more modern but they both complement each other perfectly.

Tip 2: Pick the Right Colors
Color plays a huge role when it comes to designing space. I love to look at the meaning of each color (aka, color phycology) to see how they connect with your emotional level. I did a blog post about “COLORS THAT GO WELL WITH RED” ,you can have a quick read if you’re looking into using red in your space.
My personal preference when choosing color is to stick with a few main colors not more than that unless your main purpose is to make the room more fun with lots of colors. The reason I only choose 2-3 colors is because I don’t want to get overwhelmed when using the space.
I used Pink, Blue and Gold as my main colors for my Vanity corner. I have to be honest with you that I actually picked the colors of this area after I decided what posters I wanted to hang on the wall. These two posters from Desenio are the two that helped me decide what colors I should go with.

Let’s talk about the meaning of colors I picked for a little bit. Blue is actually a perfect color for my vanity because it’s associated with confidence. Pink is another good one because it’s associated with feminine, youthful, fun and charming. They are a perfect combination for my vanity corner where I can make sure I look good and feel good about myself. I also chose Gold because it’s an uplifting color that represents glamour and sophistication.
Quick tip: Scrolling through DESENIO Gallery Wall Inspiration page, will help you choose the right color and theme for your soon to be loveliest space of your home.
Tip 3: Décor It Right
After you come up with the feels and colors it’s now time for you to pick the right furniture and decoration pieces. Despite getting ideas of what type of furniture I want from looking at pictures from Pinterest, one of my go to source to pick the right and affordable furniture is to search on Google. It’s no secret here on where to find the cheapest but yet high quality. But I found that Target has a lot of pretty furniture with affordable prices.
Quick tip: Don’t sacrifice the look and quality of products because you find a cheaper alternative of it. You might end up being disappointed and have to purchase the original item which means you have to spend more money. Just make sure you’re a hundred percent in love with the item before you purchase it.
Talking about wall arts like posters, I found Desenio is the best place to shop posters. Their posters are printed on uncoated, thick paper with a matte, high-quality finish. At Desenio, you’ll find a wide selection of posters and mounting solutions, such as poster hangers and clips – often inspired by Scandinavian style.

Some of you might think it’s better to buy a downloadable art and print it yourself. I myself did that before and it came out to be more expensive that way. Sometimes the store doesn’t even accept your products as of the copy right issue. So, if you’re looking to purchase high quality arts that can save you time and money, make sure you check them out.

Tip 4: Bring on Your Personality
Last but not least, are there any parts or personalities of yours, you want to bring into the space?
Each space in my home reflects my personality, for example, this vanity corner, you can kind of see the emotional, playful, sassy and conservative parts all at once. I want to make this space a useable and functional space and also want it to represent who I am and what I like as well.
Quick tip: Picking the right posters can help express your feeling and represent who you are.
