5 life lessons you will learn when you start decorating your home.

 Whether you do it before wearing the wedding dress or after throwing the peony bouquet to your friends, decorating your home is the moment in which the couple's harmony and even your own nerves are tested! It happens more and more often that cohabitation precedes marriage; other more traditional couples decide to go to live together only after they are married: in this case, it is better to furnish the house in advance of the wedding, to avoid concentrating confusion and anxiety in a single period. Better to take the time to choose the kitchen and only at home furnished, go and look for a wedding dress and bouquet.

1. You believed you could furnish everything immediately

Moving, arranging, making the house welcoming. Does it seem like a natural process? Mistaken! You will have too many things to arrange and the closets will always be too few to fit everything! And then a room will perhaps not be exactly as you expected and all this because you get an idea, which you may even draw and transfer on paper, without taking into account that the colors, materials, fabrics, brightness, and dimensions can be very different.

But be careful not to be too focused on the particular. It's like when you order floral arrangements or a bouquet of flowers for the wedding and you see a flower delivered in a slightly different shade from what you expected: life is made up of shades, which sometimes may not seem the right ones, but which as a whole they stand divinely! So, remember this mantra ... "No stress"!

2. You thought you were spending a little less

You have planned everything and thought you had taken into account the unexpected, yet you find yourself spending a lot more than you expected! Remember that as you can keep your wedding budget under control with the right tools, like this one from Matrimonio.com, it is good to have an adequate planner for home expenses too. Both those of the furniture of the first period, and a precise plan for the recurring monthly expenses that you will have to face.

To limit unpleasant surprises, sit down with the best and most experienced accountant you know, your mother, and tackle what awaits you step by step, behind the front door of your new home!

3. Didn't you measure with the tape measure? Why don't you come in?

It happens to everyone, sooner or later. It also happens to those who have assembled several pieces of furniture. You take the measurements; you order the pieces and then a furniture maker assembles it or you do it yourself. But it inevitably happens that while you are there you assemble the pieces ... tac! You find that the cupboard or table was too big. Possible?! The only useful advice is to be very careful in taking the measurements; even if some have seriously started to think that it is the walls that move when you don't notice!

A bit like when you forget that you have sent Aunt Clotilde the wedding invitation and you find her at the reception without knowing where to make her sit down to eat! In the face of small and large unexpected events, do not take it. Sit down, have a cup of tea, and think about all the good things and affections you have and the details will take a back seat. Everything will work out.

4. From enthusiasm to exhausted

It often happens: love, emotion, and the desire to furnish your home inebriate you. Buy all the furniture magazines on the market, download all the interior design apps, sign up for Pinterest and create message boards with sensational ideas and start visiting all the furniture shops in the area. Moral? Just like when you wanted to organize the wedding of the century and after the first decisions you found yourself exhausted, even for the furnishing of the house you could "fall back" in the same situation: you have to be concrete and simplify.

Good advice for those who organize a wedding is to identify three important things for the bride and three for the groom: on those you spend because they are priorities, on the other aspects, you save. So maybe you don't limit yourself too much to Pronoias wedding dress, the band for the reception and catering, but you choose cheap wedding invitations or you choose decorations composed more of sheets than flowers, to save a little.

The same thing goes for home décor: if you want a nice kitchen and a good mattress, save on the TV cabinet or chandeliers and get an entry price washing machine or one with few technological functions! In this way, you will avoid reaching the end of the journey with nerves on the edge and making decisions out of desperation.

5. What used to enter now no longer enters

After a move, who knows how everything that went into a cupboard now no longer fits. The laws governing this type of phenomenon are unknown to date, but there are those who have tried to solve the problem at its root and if you want, you can also try to deal with your natural instinct from serial accumulators. If you have neither read nor heard of Marie Kondo's “Magical Power of Tidying”, it is advisable that you inquire before packing all your things to take into your new home.

Marie's method, A Japanese expert on arranging objects and organizing the house, will guide you through truly magical notions that could change a little bit of your life.

The concept is to gain time (and space), getting rid of things that you really don't need and it seems that those who have read it have been satisfied with the change produced in their life and in their home. Who knows if Marie and minimalism won't help you to fit everything into that cupboard, we were talking about a moment ago!

Never mix bridal shoe shopping with living room furniture. At each period of your life, give the time it takes to grow, evolve, and create in harmony. First the house and then the wedding reception. First, the interior design projects and only afterward, when things are done, the wedding invitations.
