Decorating is an art, and every home needs some decorating to make it more comfortable. Whether you decorate to cover up ugly parts of the home such as baseboard radiators or decorate just to feel more comfortable in your house, there are a lot of people out there who would love to give you some tips. The best decorating advice, however, is that you just relax and stop worry about all the rules all the time.

Start with your seating

According to the Herald Review, one of the biggest mistakes people make when decorating is getting uncomfortable seating because they want it to look nice and follow all the rules. Seating is one of the things in your home you shouldn't compromise on. Get the most comfortable stuff out there. In fact, the best decision would be to pick seating you wouldn't mind sitting in all day long. The truth is that bad seating might make you feel uncomfortable no matter what else you do to the room.

Make it functional

Some decorating rules mean you have to put furniture in weird places making it harder to actually use the space. The most important thing to remember is that your home is meant to be used. Make sure decorating rules don't get in the way of functionality because you have to live in it. No amount of a beautiful space is worth being uncomfortable or feeling as if the space doesn't work for you.

Personal pieces make a difference

One thing people who are decorating usually forget is to add personal pieces. Because it isn't "art" or it doesn't match the color scheme, people ignore personal pictures or personal pieces of art. The problem is that you want your house to feel like a home. By making sure you have plenty of personal pieces placed in every room throughout your home, you guarantee you will feel comfortable and feel like the place is your own. It also helps other people who come into your home feel more comfortable. There is nothing more uncomfortable than going to someone's home and feeling like it is a little too sterile. It is also a good way to show your guests the most important things to you, such as family or hobbies that you want to display.

All in all, ignoring the rules of decorating and relaxing just a little bit will make your home a more comfortable place for you and anyone else who comes into it.
