Moving into your new Clayton house is a liberating feeling. Whether you’re living with your life partner or having the best time of your life with your roommate in your new Clayton home, the task of turning your empty shell of a house into a welcoming, cozy and comfortable home is always fun.

New buyers are often seen saying: ‘we’re going to do this, we’re going to do that, and it will all be wonderful,’ surely, it will all be wonderful, but only if you know the right approach.

Of course, there are millions of options out there that you would love to experiment in your new Clayton house, and a hundred decisions to make before you actually start the decoration process, but being overwhelmed will do you no good!

Paint can immediately transform a space in the most affordable manner. Give your Clayton home’s rooms a breath of your fresh personality.

This is the first step because all the next steps hugely depend on this one- from new furniture to carpeting and accents’ right tints, tones, and shades.

2. Invest in Furniture

Now that you have your own place, you should buy furniture for your new Clayton home. A bed for a sound sleep, a sofa for beauty and function and as the anchor of your living room, a dining table for enjoying delicious meals, and a super comfortable reading chair for those leisurely times.

*Tip: Buy classic furniture pieces so that you don’t get bored of them in a short period of time.

3. Dress Your Windows

You have the option of choosing from organic materials, luxury fabrics and roman shades. Your choice may be ruffles, cording, beading, and lace; or sleek lines and bold prints; or ocean hues, jewel tones, and basic colours.

Dress your bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom windows.
