If you have a computer and access to the Internet, you have the tools you need to start interior decorating. Whether you want to replace your carpet, paint your walls, or install wood flooring, there are places on the Internet you can go that will help you decide what will look best in your home.
Why Use the Internet to Do Virtual Decorating?
Why should you use the Internet if you want to do interior decorating? First, it will save you time. You will not have to go to the local hardware or paint store in order to make your choices about paint, wood, carpet, or whatever else you are looking for. Second, it will save you money. You can do your experimenting on the Internet without buying a product only to realize that it wasn’t what you wanted, or that it won’t work in your house.
Some Virtual Decorating Websites to Consider
If you do an Internet search for “virtual decorating”, you will find a wealth of websites you can use to help you in making your choices. Here are just a few examples:
The website of the National Wood Flooring Association provides a section on their homepage called “Design Your Room”. Clicking on that area will take you to their gallery, where you can view wood floor samples for kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms. If you wish, you can upload a photo of a room in your own house. (This will cost a small fee.) Then, you can experiment with viewing different types of wood floors and see what will work best with the room you want to redesign.
General Paint’s website provides an online tool called Stylize. On their homepage, if you click on the “Homeowners” side of the page, it will take you to their “Quick Links” section, which includes a link to “Stylize”. Once there, you can experiment with different colors and color pallets to see which colors appeal to you and which colors will work well together.
You can sign up for free on General Paint’s website.
The Auto desk Home styles, gives searchers an area where anyone can design a room from scratch. From their homepage, click on “create new design”. You will then be directed to create a free account which you can use. This is a good choice if you want to create a room design on a blank slate, so to speak. These websites are only a few of many on the Internet which can help you in your interior decorating. Just turn on a computer, find your favorite search engine, type in your search terms, and you’ll find a great savings in both time and money.
