<\/b>Renovating, redecorating or merely \u201crefreshing\u201d your home can be overwhelming: It requires navigating an overabundance of options, hours of exhaustive research and the acute anxiety of influence that comes from staring at picture-perfect rooms on Instagram all day. That said, living in a beautiful home that expertly reflects your personal taste is worth the effort. But work smart, not hard. While you puzzle through the truly tough problems \u2014 like say, Royere vs. Jeanneret, or Borsani vs. Ponti \u2014 use the below infographics to help demystify (and expedite) some of the more routine concerns. Read on then thank us later!<\/p>\n

1. Dramatically Change the Feel of Your Home with a Simple Paint Job <\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Painting your walls is probably the simplest, most universal way to change the mood of a room. Real Simple<\/a> magazine polled a number of designers about their go-to shades for each space in a house. The result: a helpful guide<\/a> for \u201cfoolproof paint colors for every room in the house.\u201d Bonus: It also includes pricing information and instructions on where to source specific hues.<\/p>\n\"paintchart_field\"<\/a>

2. While You\u2019re At It, Select The Best Finish<\/b><\/p>\n

If navigating paint swatches has yet to give you an anxiety attack, fear not. Once you\u2019ve finally committed to your colors, you still have to figure out finishes. But before you end up in the fetal position, check out this simple infographic \u2014 courtesy of blogger and designer Kristen Danielle<\/a> \u2014 to help you select the right finish for each and every area of your home.<\/p>\n\"how-to-choose-the-right-paint-finish1\"<\/a>\n

\n

3. Pull Your Room Together With an Area Rug<\/b><\/p>\n

Selecting an optimally sized area rug can be something of a struggle for anyone who lacks superb two-dimensional spatial reasoning. Decor Mentor<\/a> has a very straightforward guide to help you select the most appropriately sized area rug for your dining room, living room, and bedroom \u2014 it even takes the size of your bed into account. Pro tip: you can easily shop rugs by size<\/a> on 1stdibs.<\/p>\n\"area_rug_guide_dining_b\"<\/a>\n

\n

4. Display Artwork and Family Photos Like a Pro<\/b><\/p>\n

Gallery walls are deceptive \u2014 they look pleasingly haphazard, but require a lot of manual finessing to get them just so. For a shortcut to creating the perfect gallery wall, borrow one of the pre-planned layouts from this Interiors PL<\/a> infographic. Should you need to fill any holes, feel free to peruse the fine art<\/a> offerings on 1stdibs.<\/p>\n\"enhanced-19136-1422569726-15\"<\/a>\n

5. Make Your Home More Sustainable<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon to want to make your home more sustainable \u2014 but it can be hard to figure out where to begin. Not anymore. This handy infographic<\/a> itemizes the different eco-friendly upgrades you can make from roof to basement, and also helpfully tallies how going green can reduce your carbon footprint and your energy costs. Adding an addition to your home? Use foam insulation in the walls. Have you always wanted a garden, but are strapped for green space? Think about building a rooftop planter.<\/p>\n\"Infographic-6\"<\/a>\n
