Expert room decorator ideas to try in your home

by Ted Stumpf 06/26/2022

While it's never been simpler to plan your DIY design using virtual home decorating tools, you can still get valuable room decorating ideas from the experts. Your decor can make or break a first impression and affect how you feel in your own home. To help inspire you, here are some decorating tips and tricks from the pros:

Try a dramatic light fixture

It's no secret, lighting can thoroughly change the aesthetics of a room. However, one tip from designers is to take it a step further by using a dramatic light fixture somewhere in your home. You could achieve this using an artistic floor lamp in the living room or a statement chandelier over the dining room table.

Decorate with large plants

Large indoor plants have always been included in room decorator ideas. Not only do plants bring life to a space, they can make a stunning design statement. If you want to avoid caring for live plants, you can also use artificial alternatives. With some modern options, you can barely tell the difference.

Invest in art

Investing in at least one quality art piece will not only enhance the room it's in, but provide you with valuable inspiration and guidance for things like color schemes and texture in your decor. Room decorators recommend splurging on either one large piece or several small pieces, mounted or framed.

Consider wallpaper

Wallpaper might seem intimidating, but modern advancements have made it easier than ever to apply and take down. You can even use virtual interior design programs to preview wallpaper in a given room. By using virtual and augmented reality apps, you can make better decisions about what wallpaper will work best in your space. Don't forget, you can use wallpaper for accent walls and alcoves instead of entire rooms as well.

Ted draws energy and joy from building synergetic relationships with his Clients. Ted's nature is graciously gregarious and persevering; he's honest; and he's been dedicated to a substantial list of clientele throughout his 25 years in the hospitality business and almost two years as a REALTOR. His passion is creating a sincere, successful relationship with people.

Ted grew up in a family of Realtors in central Indiana, earned a degree in economics and philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, and jumped into all aspects of the restaurant business. His ensuing hospitality career path eventually led him into the Event Management Sales & Service role in hotels and quickly guided him to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and finally to a luxury resort in the Napa Valley, where he, his husband, and their dog have resided for almost a decade now.  

The irony is not lost on Ted that his ‘growth’ journey has culminated in“living happily ever after” in an agricultural area with a small-town feel and sense of community strikingly reminiscent of his youth…and as a REALTOR nonetheless!
