Thanks for a helpful hub! And all those amazing sites you recommend are fantastic too.

I agree with you that one should not be intimidated by interior design, just let your senses guide you, allow your own taste to come through and choose items that are practical and appealing to the eye as well. I personally love indoor benches throughout the home. Not only do they provide extra seating but if they have storage options they sure come in handy taking care of unwanted clutter around your home. They add such grace to a room and are amazingly affordable too.

Again, thanks for a great hub!

May I also make a suggestion about the sites you recomment.

It would be nice if they were clickable, so one could just click on them and go straight to the site if interested. That way they don't have to copy/paste etc etc.

Thanks again!

hi there

Excellent ideas! You make it sound so easy! It's amazing how decluttering a room can have such a positive effect. Keep writing!
