Interior design is an extension of our personality and lifestyle. If you're looking to decorate a space but don't know where to start, follow these steps to find the perfect inspiration.

1. Discover your tastes and preferences

Ask yourself: What makes you feel comfortable and happy? Look at the colors, textures, and styles that appeal to you on social media, in magazines, or in home decor stores.

2. Explore different styles

Minimalist: Clean spaces, neutral colors, and functionality.
Industrial: Materials such as metal and exposed brick.
Boho: Mix of colors, prints and natural elements.
Classic: Elegance with sophisticated details.
Scandinavian: Brightness, wood and cozy textiles.

3. Create a mood board

Combine images, color palettes, and references to visualize the harmony of the design.

4. Define a budget

You don't need to spend a fortune. Look for affordable options and reuse existing items.

5. Test and experiment

Don't be afraid to change furniture, colors, or decorations until you find what you really like.

6. Consider the functionality of the space

It's not just aesthetics that matter; design should fit your lifestyle and daily needs.
