How to redecorate a room when you lack “design sense” When you’re ready for a change in style, there are plenty of design apps to help you redecorate a room. But before you dive into the “design app” rabbit hole, start with these fundamentals. 1. Find inspiration rooms. Browse the internet or magazines to find rooms that make you say, “Wow, that’s what I like.” Save those images. 2. Decide if you want to redecorate with all new items, or keep some of the old. If you plan to keep some items, try removing them from the space and only using them as they fit your new plan. Alternatively, keep one or two main items, and decorate around them in their style. 3. Plan your design. If you’ve never designed a space before, you might be stumped. The tendency is to go back to what you had before. Rely on your inspiration rooms for ideas. Keep in mind how you plan to use the room. 4. Finally, set a budget. List all the items you think you’ll need/want to replace, add paint, and don’t forget the lighting. Estimate the cost and trim the budget as needed. At any point, you could dip into those design apps for help with color schemes, layout, and furniture styles.
What Makes a House a Mansion? According to Wikipedia: The word mansion derives through Old French from the Latin word mansio “dwelling,” an abstract noun derived from the verb manere “to dwell.” The English word manse originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way. Today, a mansion is considered any large home, usually 5,000 or more square feet.
