Willoughby, Australia 16 April 2014 : If you have just bought a new house or are planning to buy a new house that you want quickly to turn into a home, we bet you are, indeed, extremely excited! We should let you know that you are not alone! Buying a new house and watching it - or working for modern house designs at it - till you turn it into a home, your own space, comfortable retreat, or some place you can call your own 'den' is extremely exciting at least to begin with. However, let us warn you that turning blank walls, windows, and rooms in your own little personalized world is much easier said than done. If you happen to be at that stage, let us walk you through what you should expect your journey to be. Moreover, once you are warned of all the things you might face and how you are expected to deal with them, we will also be able to tell you how making the whole process easier, more enjoyable, and ultimately very memorable for yourself!

If you are one of those people who ended up shelling out way too much to buy what you were convinced was your dream home, and subsequently felt like there was a much bigger hole in your pocket than you had ever seen before, you are, of course, not in the best of financial situations. We will not expect prizes for guessing that you are probably thinking and rethinking about whether you should get an interior designer at all. Is it even worth it? After all the money that you will end up spending on this interior designer, do you think he or she will be able to understand your vision of what you want your dream home to be? Maybe you should try considering this: why not try the new house design yourself? Surely, small house design cannot be all the hard! And in the end, you are the one who understands yourself the best; whatever you dreamt of doing for your own house will surely bear fruit if you get down to design and decorate your house yourself. We assure you, if you are beginning to like the sound of this piece of advice already, you should not hold back! Bringing in some Do It Yourself equipment, getting your hands dirty, while at the same time letting your imagination run wild, as well as saving what will turn out to be a ton of money is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Again, we say, go give it your best try! It will be worth the hard work, and in the end, you will have grown closer to your own home than you would have if you had got your interior designer to do the hard but definitely the most rewarding work of the whole moving process for you!

If you're especially keen on saving money and don't want to spend too much on a house design either, remember the best places to look is within the home! Get out your hood stuff, get recycling and decorating!
