New house decorating
Hello, my boyfriend and I just bought a new house. The outside is great but the inside is horrible. Actually, it really just needs new carpeting and a fresh coat of paint throughout (everything can be easily fixed!) but since we are making this house our own, I don't want just plain white walls in every room. My problem is, I have so many ideas for each room and none of them really coordinate! Plus, if they DO coordinate, I don't want everything to be too matchy-matchy. How can I create a good them for the whole house but still make each room unique?

Maybe give some free advice about: Home Decorating?
Decide what your focal point will be for each room and work off of that. My favorite theory is choose the thing you love the most. For example maybe you have a great piece of artwork or a really cool collection of something interesting that you want to showcase. Once you decide on your main focal point just make sure everything else compliments it but doesn't overpower it. You are right about the matchy-matchy thing. You are better off adding different textures than trying to get everything perfectly matched. For example I have a fur throw, a sisal rug and a rough wood coffee table. They don't really "match" but they compliment each other beautifully!My best advice is don't stress and whatever you do, have fun with it!

well do soft warming colors. like browns, tans, and redish browns. make them close colors but so they look more like shades. if you do the right colors and shades it look gorgeous. im sorry if i didnt make that very clear, but i hope you understand what im saying.

Room decorating can be fun and overwhelming.
Your husband and you could try to come up with a style. Example: If you like country then you could agree that each room would have a touch of country. Traditional, Classy etc.
The walls would need color therefore you could decide if you want vibrant or softer colors or if you two wanted too you could do paneling.
I would recommend you both look at some brochures online to get a better idea of what you can do to mix it up. Walmart should even have a Home Decor magazine, I'm sure that will give you some great ideas.
