You’ve just tied the knot. Happily ever after, it will be. You’re sure of it. But there’s just one more step: blending your styles in your new home. Furniture.com has some simple, smart and potentially marriage-saving decorating tips for creating a happy new home, instead of a house divided:
– Mix it up. Don’t worry about matching. If you’re both happy, that’s what counts.
– Respect each other’s feelings. If he’s emotionally attached to that well-worn chair, gladly put it in the bedroom.
– Together, prioritize what pieces are needed most. And set a budget, keeping in mind what might be a “forever” piece and what might be a more short-term piece.
– Collaborate. Do research together. Discuss friends’ furniture pieces and styles. Scan magazines, watch decorating shows and shop online — always with each other.
