About Us – DecoratorAdvice.com
Welcome to DecoratorAdvice.com, your go-to place for honest, practical, and inspiring home decorating ideas. We started this site with one simple goal: to make home decorating easier, more enjoyable, and less overwhelming for everyday people.
Whether you just moved into your first apartment, are redesigning a family home, or simply want to freshen up one room, you’ll find tips, guides, and advice here that actually work — no fancy jargon, no gatekeeping.
Our Story
Like many people, I (the founder) once stood in a living room filled with mismatched furniture, blank walls, and a very limited budget. Pinterest was overwhelming, design magazines were full of homes I couldn’t afford, and “expert” advice seemed complicated.
So I started experimenting — testing paint colors on scrap wood, rearranging furniture a dozen times, and learning how to mix styles without spending a fortune. I realized that most decorating challenges could be solved with the right knowledge and a little creativity.
That’s how DecoratorAdvice.com was born: as a place to share everything I learned along the way — the successes, the mistakes, and the clever solutions.

Our Approach to Decorating
We believe that a home should feel like you. Here’s our philosophy:
-
Start with function. Your home has to work for the way you live.
-
Layer personality. Add art, photos, colors, and textures that make you happy.
-
Embrace imperfection. A home isn’t a showroom — it’s where real life happens.
-
Spend smart. Splurge where it counts, save where you can DIY.
Our Favorite Tips
Here are a few personal favorites that have transformed homes (and budgets):
-
Test paint samples on large poster boards before committing. You’ll see how the color looks in different lighting.
-
Use a rug that’s big enough. It should anchor the furniture, not float in the middle of the room.
-
Declutter before you decorate. It’s easier to style a space that isn’t overwhelmed by stuff.
-
Add plants. They instantly make a room feel alive and polished.
Real-Life Example
When I first redecorated my living room, I made every mistake possible. I bought a couch that was too big, used a rug that was too small, and tried to copy a Pinterest look without considering my own space.
After some trial and error, I swapped the rug, rethought the layout, and added a few affordable thrift-store finds. The result wasn’t just prettier — it felt like home.
This is the kind of transformation we want for you: practical, achievable, and uniquely yours.
