One thing you need to decide on when changing the interior of your house is what style you want the theme to be in. Heck there are tons of choices like Southwest, Country, Oriental, and even Medieval. Yes all of those themes have been used before and will surely be used again.
Interior decoration is up to the person who owns the house and who will be living there for however long they own the house. Of course if it's a couple they will most likely need to compromise on a few of the areas. You know, the husband wants a sports room done all in Nascar, but the wife would rather have something a bit more tame.
This is where you can either decide to hire a person to help you that is an interior designer, or you can go about it all by yourself. For money savings you will want to do all the stuff by yourself. Of course you will have all the stress of what color to paint the walls and if you want to have wall paper or just a border, or if it's a feminine look or if you want to go for a more masculine look.
There are so many things to decide when taking on an interior decoration project that most people don't even attempt it. They don't want to fight with each other, or their tastes don't match close enough to get a happy medium of what they want their house to look like.
If you have a boy's room it's always a great idea to do maybe his favorite sports team's colors, or maybe even a space look, with a black ceiling and glow in the dark stars, which you can even arrange like the constellations. It really depends though; if your boy is old enough you should allow him some say in the room and what it looks like. After all it is his room, and he will be in there the most.
The same goes for a girl who you might have. If she is old enough, let her have some input into how her room will look. This will free you up for the other rooms of the house too and cut down on the decisions you and your husband will have to decide on. Plus if the kids happen to share a bathroom, why not allow them to decide how to go about decorating it? As long as it's not some off the wall theme, this will be great for your kids and make them feel like they have contributed to the new interior decoration of the house.
Now it comes to you and your husband's room. If he doesn't want anything that is too girly, try to go with a neutral color and designs that will be something you both like. Maybe let him have the living room his style and you get the kitchen. This will allow you both to feel like you have won something! Overall have a blast with the interior decoration and make it look good!
