Every year and every season, there seems to be a different trend for interior decorating. Try prints! Try florals! Try darks! Try lights! From feng shui to serene temple motifs, there are plenty of theories about how to design your home to give you the most energy. 
There are some basic theories of interior decorating that are all at opposite ends of the spectrum:
Keep it simple: you don’t want too much clutter, you want the space to be hard to navigate. On the other hand, you want your home to be “homely,” with pictures and relics of travel, ancestors, and schoolwork so that your home is filled with memories.
No matter what you decide, remember to remember the sunshine and soon to be summertime. Remind yourself of the good weather and good memories to come with some fresh flowers and bright new curtains. Whatever you decide, don’t go dark or ominous. No Gothic grandfather clocks. No stonework. Your life’s complicated enough, so your home doesn’t have to be!
