Interior Decorating/Painting Ideas

[babywings76]

I soooo am not good at this stuff. I know what I like when I see it, but to start with white walls and all this potential, I just don't know what to do.

We have a brand new house that we built well, now it's almost 2 yrs I guess. We haven't done any painting or real decorating yet cause I just don't know what style I like.

Are there any websites or anything that helps give ideas to ways to decorate or pick paint colors?

I can't afford to buy tons of magazines and sift through them all. None of my friends have any decorating magazines either.

Tomorrow we are going to go to Home Depot and Lowes and just grab every single swatch or layout handout things they have.

Behr paint has a great tool on their site...you pick your room and set up and then add colors (from their site or the #s of colors from the swatches).

LOVE IT!! Used it for our living room -- it's "Iced Tea" and "Cardboard" with a "Buttercream" ceiling -- YUM!

This is a pic of it before we added a rug and other small deco pieces.

Do you get HGTV? Great TV station to get tons of ideas. If not, they have a wonderful web site too - including a whole section on different styles that you could explore to get an idea of which direction you want to go.
