Decorate A Living Room Online

Decorate a room online and bring your ideas to life.








Planning the decor of your living room online before carrying out the project in real life is the most convenient way to determine whether your decorating ideas look as good on a screen as they do in your head. An option many people consider is purchasing an interior design computer software program to decorate their virtual living area. Purchasing design software, however, can be expensive. The good news is that several cost-effective, even free, online programs offer basic design and decoration tips along with interactive planning of interior spaces.


Instructions


1. Choose a design service. Use an Internet search engine to power your search for online interior decorating. Navigate through the sites to find the design service that suits you best. One online design and decorating option can be found on the Armstrong flooring website under the design tab. Consider other options like the Arrange-a-Room feature on the Better Homes and Gardens website.


2. Start designing and decorating your living room. Select a floor plan from a series of floor plan templates, if applicable. Select room dimensions, window and door placements and furniture placement.


3. Select flooring and wall colors. Choose from hardwood, laminate, tile or carpeted flooring. Choose wall colors that complement colors in the floor and appeal to your personal taste.


4. Print your living room design. Use a high quality color printer and photo paper for best results. If you plan to bring your design to life, give your work to an interior designer or contractor as a guideline for what you would like in your home.
