It's easy to forget that decorating is an art form. As you go about filling your home with possessions, making compromises between beauty and function, and bowing to the limitations inherent in the space, it can be easy to let decorative considerations drop in favor of more direct pursuits.
However its important to remember that your entire life is a creative endeavor. Every move you make is precipitated by the fact that you are a unique individual. Your choices come from within you. This is as true of actions, as it is of movements and designs. When creating the atmosphere in your home, you are really setting the stage for the play of your life.
Part of being inspired to decorate, is finding something in life that really moves you. Once the spark of creativity is kindled, you can use the energy for just about any pursuit you desire.
However sometimes inspiration is elusive. Unfortunately, it can't be forced, and you shouldn't try, or you'll just end up having a negative experience, which will make it even harder to get excited about your decorating project. Instead take it easy, relax, and try to do things you enjoy which are related to home decorating.
One popular past time is to flip through catalogs from manufacturers of furnishings. You can also browse home décor websites to see what kinds of items are available. Browsing through pictures of others, decorated homes, is also a great way to spark some creativity in your own mind.
Ultimately any spark of creativity will come from within you. It's already there, waiting, you just have to find it and coax it out. It's a matter of understanding who you are, and what makes you passionate. This is not only the way to decorate your home, it's also really the best way to live your life.
