Many will agree that decorating your first Los Angeles home is a task that tugs between daunting and exciting. With a plethora of selections available and so many decisions to make, it’s hard not to feel dazed and confused. At the end of the day, some of us just settle into the expected or the drearily familiar leaving a trail of sighs in our wake or sleeping with the feeling of discontent, and get by somehow.
This dilemma isn’t limited to the new homeowners. Whether you’re starting out or starting over – after a relationship has gone sour or a move necessitated by a new job, you need the assistance of an expert to help you navigate the difficult process of decorating a home for the first time.

And don’t we wish a lot of colors would change to some other color? Color versus noncolor. Where do you fall in this decorating dilemma? As hard as it is to believe, color is one of the biggest decisions for a lot of people when it comes to changing their décor.
Many are afraid of color. I’m not totally clear on exactly what that means: What is the fear? Will it hurt you? No. Will it make you sick? No. Will it rob you? No. Color has a lot of implications, but doing harm is not one of them!
So, you don’t like color. That’s OK, but if you’re not going to use color in your home, do the noncolor thing right.
White walls and white furnishings are often used as backdrops for art — sort of “galleryish.” There’s no competition to the color in the art and consequently it really pops against a white wall. If you have the caliber of art collection that yells out for white walls, then by all means, go with the white.
But for all of the other “color-phobes,” a neutral color scheme is just what the decorating doctor ordered for you.
The same should apply when doing the finishing touches for your window. We suggest adding coordinating window shutters. If you are an early riser, opt for a lighter hint of colors while night persons will probably be more pleased with darker tones that can block out excess light.
If you are budget-conscious, figure out how much you can spend and check for discount shutters in Southern California. It will surprise you that shutters can be the easiest, most economical way to overcome the seemingly insurmountable problem of unifying the theme color of your interiors.
