Create your indoor layout gradually

The idea that a home might not have enough “stuff” in it may sound silly. But those who have been planning for a long time to find, build and move into a new home may have spent just as long downsizing their belongings.Suddenly, it seems, the house is only a few months from move-in ready and all indications point to echoing corridors. Or family rooms with lots of space and not enough seating. Or dining rooms and kitchens better suited for picnics than gourmet meals.Avoid the urge to rushApart from essentials, such as paper products, linens and even temporary seating options, focus on long-term needs when choosing decor, furniture, storage concepts and housewares.
