Step
1: Analyze Your Home
Room
by room, list the following:
-
the assets (the room's best features, which you'll want
to highlight)
-
the liabilities (the room's problem areas, which you'll want
to downplay or camouflage)
-
the size - the shape (square? long? L-shaped?)
- the
windows (too many? too few? placed awkwardly? strangely
proportioned?)
-
the ceilings (too high ? too low?)
-
take special note of architectural features such as fireplaces,
mantels, moldings, pipes, ducts, radiators, etc.
In
each room, you'll want to highlight the best features by drawing
attention to them with wallcovering, borders, coordinated
designs or special paint colors and treatments that set them
apart from the rest of the room. Similarly, you will want
to downplay problem zones by covering them with wallcovering
that matches the walls, hiding them with decorative screens
or planning built-ins to camouflage the offending items.
