There are many people who lack what is basic to a professional decorator: imagination and sense of space. This is a lot when people go to see an empty house and just do not like that will not imagine how the furniture and colors in the room.

And that's actually a disadvantage when buying a house. We can pass it a missed opportunity for face only an empty room and not being able to imagine as we shall see with our things. So this time we give some tips to keep basic panic at seeing a empty room.

The first thing to do is look at the space quietly, without haste, as when we do something we like very much. Try to keep in our minds the space of the room, as if it were a photograph.

Then with a notepad write down what we like about the room, eg light, a corner that always struck us, the bottom of the window, ceiling moldings, and so on. The following notes are for everything you always dislike about the same space, eg the ground that we never liked the color of the walls, the type of lighting, curtains that were too heavy, and so on. And finally, write the things you are indifferent, neither you like or dislike you.

Finally, with all entries and images you've recorded on your retina, makes a drawing room with fences or objects that are permanently in space: windows, balconies, doors, etc.. From then on you just have to find ways to sort your ideas, your furniture and the colors and styles that you take.
