You’ve just moved into your first apartment or house. It may be old or new, in the city or in the country, large or efficient. But even though you live there, it may not yet feel like home.

What does it need? Some decorating!

You’ve come to the right place. Your About Guide to Interior Decorating will help you with ideas, pictures, community resources, and websites to help you create the home of your dreams.

So. . . let’s get started!

First of all, identify the major problems. Is the bedroom royal blue when you really want soft green? Are the floors carpeted when you've always loved hardwood? Are the windows bare and you require total privacy? Does everything need to be changed, but you have a limited budget? Or do you have sufficient financial resources but no idea what to do?

Of course, at some point you'll have to set a budget. If you're doing a complete change, it will cost more than just repainting. But even on the smallest budget, it's amazing what changes you'll be able to see.
