Decoratingyour home can be a lot of work. While some people may have a natural eye for it, others (myself included) can struggle quite a lot. Mixing and matching colors, textures, and shapes requires some knowledge in aesthetics, so it shouldn’t be surprising that some people find decorating their homes quite anxiety-inducing.The problem is that most of us still want to live in abeautiful home. One that is aesthetically pleasing, cozy, and adheres to our tastes. So, ultimately, we just have to suck it up and do the work. The truth is that many people experience decorating anxiety, so we might as well just take comfort in the fact that we’re in this together.

Much of the anxiety of decorating comes from the fear of making mistakes. And if you’re trying to limit your expenses, that can be especially true. However, that only makes your anxiety worse. If we looked atinterior designand home decorating as a process of trial and error, we could eliminate much of the stress around it.

According to Caroline On Design,remindingyourself that you don’t have to get it right the first time reduces much of the decorating overwhelm. “We don’t get it magically correct the first time (except on occasion)! Regardless of how much of a knack for design a person has, there is always an element of trial and error in decorating.”

First, Beckwrites, it’s best to map out how you want your room or space to look. She recommends people set an end goal to how the room or a particular corner of the house should look. Once we visualize and plan how the finished space should look, any add-ons will make it look less like your goal.

Second, according to Beck, it’s important to find out the reason behind you obsessing over decorating. Some people use it as a distraction from other problems, like dealing with unwanted feelings. To find this out, Beck recommends sitting down in your room for 10 minutes and taking a look around.

If you get the urge to fix something, you might be decorating through anxiety. Because if your decorating urges came wanting to make your home more beautiful, you would start noticing the beautiful details that are already there, like the pattern of a rug. “If you accept your home as it is, you’ll be in a position to decorate out of a love for beauty, rather than a fear of being present,” Beck writes.

Her third tip for obsessive decorators is to consider if you’re doing this just because you want to “get things done.” Our culture values any activity, even if it’s just for doing’s sake, so let your home be the one place where everything doesn’t have to be perfect. “If you accept your home as it is, you’ll be in a position to decorate out of a love for beauty,” Beck concludes.
