Decorating Tips for Couples Moving in Together

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Moving in with your partner is an exciting milestone, but blending different styles can be challenging. Here are five tips to help you create a harmonious home:

1. Establish a Colour Palette 🎨: Choose three to four hues to create a cohesive look and keep your decor unified.

2. Find Common Ground 🌟: Identify shared preferences, like warm palettes or wooden furniture, to kick off your joint decorating journey.

3. Keep Main Areas Neutral ⚖️: A neutral base allows for personal touches with statement pieces that reflect your individual styles.

4. Incorporate Contrasting Elements 🌺🪵: Balance dark and light elements, and mix textures to add visual interest and incorporate both of your tastes.

5. Make Decisions Together 🗣️🤝: Communicate and compromise on major decor choices to ensure both of you feel at home.

Enjoy your time together blending your different styles
