To decorate your home yourself, more than a designer, you need time and involvement. Here are a few easy ways we’ve found to self renovate your interiors without a professional designer :
1. Improved Lighting
For this try and catch a hold of a number of set guidelines that designers typically refer to make an interior space look a certain way depending on the task being performed. The types of light fixtures you choose to decorate your space can greatly impact the atmosphere of the area. For example, soft bulbs that emit a yellow/red undertone are ideal for renovation "hang out" zones such as the living room. Similarly, bright bulbs with blue undertones do well interiors linked to "study" zones such as your home office or library.
Another tip to save on power bills of your interiors is to hang more mirrors. Due to reflection, it helps light up spaces better while making them seem larger than they actually are. Alternatively, mirrors can be hung in places that are typically used in waiting such as the entry zone or the drawing room.

Try to rearrange your furniture. Unless there are problems such as termite infestation with your furniture pieces there is no need for new pieces of furniture to decorate.

It's easy to decorate with a personal touch on the walls with photos or art. If you’re feeling frugal, simply change the frames of your existing photos and art.

To make interiors feel more lively, place plants both indoors and out. Are you feeling creative? Paint and renovate the flower pots. Such "finishing details" help interiors give a more modern feel. Clearing unnecessary items can result in an overall improvement to feel much more inviting, and anything you declutter can be sold or donated.
