Don\u2019t set yourself up for failure and design burnout.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you\u2019re one person (or a duo if you\u2019ve got your partner on board) but that doesn\u2019t warrant trying to do it all at once. Even the best d\u00e9cor teams tend to tackle one room at a time!<\/p>\n<p>Start by focusing your attention in one area that could use a little spice. Think about it: Which room have you been dying to redecorate? Which room are you looking to make a major impact in?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still unsure where to begin, we suggest starting with the main room in the house and working your way outward.<\/p>\n<p>The living room is a fantastic place to start because it\u2019s the focal point of most homes. It\u2019s where a lot of the entertaining is done and it\u2019s a fabulous place to go bold.<\/p>\n<h3>Bold Tip #2: Ethnic Inspired Themes<\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest (and most fun) ways to make a statement is to choose a theme and run with it. This is especially a great idea when you\u2019re not-so-d\u00e9cor-savvy, as it gives you a starting point and plenty of ideas to work with.<\/p>\n<p>A big trend right now is to play around with ethnic-inspired d\u00e9cor from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>What country inspires you? Perhaps you\u2019ve traveled to Africa and can draw inspiration from the safari and desert landscapes. Think: Hues of oranges and browns, animal prints and natural wooden accessories.<\/p>\n<p>This bold\u00a0[Pawz] Zebra Accent Chair by Worldwide homefurnishings would be a perfect addition for a safari theme \u2013 incredibly unique &#8211; a true conversation piece.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/worldwidehome-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-285\" src=\"http:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB-860x1024.jpg\" alt=\"zebra pattern chair\" width=\"740\" height=\"881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB-860x1024.jpg 860w, https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB-768x914.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB-1290x1536.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/worldwidehomefurnishingsinc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/PAWZ-403-770-ZB.jpg 1411w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whichever theme you choose, there are several online resources to assist you.
