When it comes to decorating your house, there are so many decisions to make, especially if you want to create spaces that everyone in the family will enjoy. Decorating your home will require a lot of planning, but how can you decide where to start? Check out some of the following websites that can help you.

Uncommon Goods

Founded in 1999 by Dave Bolotsky, Uncommon Goods began as a marketplace for unique handmade crafts.

Uncommon Goods connects the artists who create the crafts with those people who want to purchase them. You can find a huge variety of different and unique items to decorate any room in your house.

Houzz

One of the largest online collections of home improvement ideas. It is an online platform that brings together homeowners and home professionals with a huge database of millions of pictures for visitors to browse and save. Its founders came up with the idea when they were designing their own home and had to go through piles of magazines and meet with so many professionals and still weren’t able to design their dream home. They wanted to find a better way and came up with the idea of Houzz. Starting as a side project, Houzz has grown into a community of over 40 million homeowners, home improvement professionals, and home design enthusiasts from all over the world.

If you are looking for ways to spruce up a room, Houzz is a great place to get ideas, collaborate with others, and find the products you need to make the most out of any room in your house. For example, if you have a room that is small and you want it to look larger, Houzz suggests “large wall sized mirrors can dramatically improve the feel of spaciousness in the room.”
