If your home requires a drastic amount of decoration work here, there and everywhere, then you may be left wondering where on earth you should start, and whether or not this decision matters. Well, in this guide we\u2019ve broken down which rooms you should decorate first and why.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/modern-living-room-interior-design.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/modern-living-room-interior-design.jpg\" alt=\"modern living room interior design\" class=\"wp-image-23883\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/newhouse-1160730\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=998265\" rel=\"nofollow\">chien than<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=998265\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pixabay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The living room takes center stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s not necessarily a right or wrong answer to the question of which room is best to decorate first. That said, as a general rule of thumb, it makes sense that you decorate your living room first. Sure, the living room may not be as practical as a bathroom or a kitchen &#8211; but that\u2019s exactly why it deserves to be decorated first. With living room design, you\u2019ll consider the smallest of details like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehairpinlegcompany.co.uk\/collections\/desk-dining-table-legs\">table legs<\/a> and furnishings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/tips-faking-extra-space-living-room\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">living room is the space<\/a> where you spend most of your time relaxing, and hence you spend a lot of time looking around the room &#8211; if you\u2019re not glued to the TV of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the room where your guests are going to come in and sit when they visit your home, so this room must take priority in the decorating stage. Guests will understand that you have just moved home, so they won\u2019t judge you if the house is somewhat \u2018upside down. But you could certainly spark a striking impression on them by having them socialize with you in the newly decorated (or under progress) living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t rush into decorating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we have established the importance of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/living-room-design-guide\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">living room and its interior design,<\/a> if you are still undecided on how you want the room to look, we suggest taking some more time to think, and begin decorating a more basic room where decorating isn\u2019t as important instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next up, the kitchen!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have embellished the living room, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesandgardens.com\/advice\/how-to-design-a-kitchen\">the kitchen should be next on your decorating list<\/a>. This is another space where interior design is essential. It also makes logistical sense, since it\u2019s also downstairs, near the living room, and another area where visitors may wind up encountering when visiting you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all though, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/making-the-most-of-a-small-kitchen-space\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kitchen is a space<\/a> where you are most productive &#8211; and it\u2019s far more difficult to be productive when the space is in the process of refurbishment. The sooner your kitchen decorating is completed, the sooner you\u2019ll be able to make family meals and prepare food with peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about the bedroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You could leave your bedroom until last since there is only you or whoever the room belongs to who will be in there. But it is still important to remember that it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/rooms\/bedroom\/themes\/bedroom-design-trends-2022\/\">a room where you\u2019ll spend a fair share of your time<\/a>. It\u2019s not as much a priority as the living room and the kitchen, but it\u2019s something you could begin adorning at any stage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/7-home-decor-improvements-you-can-do-in-just-one-hour\/\" class=\"wpil_internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home decorating<\/a> process. Overall, it is recommended that you start with the most frequented rooms, and those that will be used by yourself the most, before moving onto those rooms that are more of your inner sanctuary than for any guests or visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you\u2019ve just moved into your new home and you\u2019re left with a blank canvas, meaning you\u2019ve got a whole lot of decorating to do. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Which Room Should You Decorate First in Your New Home?
