Determine your budget so the amount you plan to spend is defined. Are you planning to do one room at a time or the whole house at once?
We talked a little about this in last weeks blog. Whether you're drawing inspiration from your flooring, walls, or a piece of art - find a color you love and start there. Once you have your palette established, let the rest of the decor trickle from that. John Elliott Interiors has the luxury furniture and accessories to help give your lake home the "wow" factor.
Every room has a focal point - that spot that begs attention when we first enter the room. Don't be afraid of making a statement with furniture. If you have a large room, begin by placing your furniture in the middle of the room - use rugs to create a comfortable feeling and use accessories and art to frame your focal point. You can play around with the placement of your furnishings.
Once you've chosen the unique furnishings you can't live without, consider including some antiques or sentimental pieces you love. These pieces can give your rooms personality and depth. Although it's true that second homes at the Lake of the Ozarks don't always require this touch and John Elliott Interiors can help achieve a comfortable look with new pieces.

If you find articulating your design preferences difficult, not to worry. The simplest way to define your style is by looking at photos of other homes. Whether you save them to your Pintrest board or tear the pages from a magazine, keeping your photos in one spot is easiest. After you've collected several images, sit down and compare them. Ask yourself what the common denominators are. What are your favorite aspects in terms of color, furniture style, pattern and object coverage. Keep in mind the space you're living in and the limitations that might impose, as well.
