My Decorating Tips

My Decorating Tips is a home decor blog focused on family-friendly decorating. We share our interior design and decorating ideas to help our readers make their homes truly inspiring.

Featured Story

Many of my readers and clients struggle to find sources that would help them to make better sofa fabric choices that will last for kids and pets.

Here is something to think about – it’s easier to make sound sofa fabric choices than being stressed about stains and spills all the time. We all want a sofa or a sectional that is comfortable and reasonably priced.  And we don’t want hot polyesters, scratchy nylons, uncleanable, pilling fabrics.

You’d say, “How do I know which one is good?”

Below I am giving the insights on choosing upholstery fabric that is durable while it still looks good. I hope this post will save you some legwork and drama…

Rules for a Living Room Rug Placement? Really?

Rules for a Living Room Rug Placement? Really?

I will be honest with you. There are hardly any rules as it comes to living room rug placement. Of course, my favorite area rugs vendors will tell you to buy the largest rug you can afford. I noticed that placement of rugs, especially in the living … READ MORE

About Marina Klima

Hello!
I am Marina Klima, and as my name suggests I am water and beach obsessed! I grew up on the Black Sea in a unique and beautiful city, Odessa where people want to know all about you and your business (in a good way).

As you guessed, I am an interior designer and a founder of this blog.

I am here to help you to make your home decor projects easy and more fun. Here I share my tips, ideas, and resources with you. I sprinkle every post with a bit of common sense which comes from my day-to-day interior design practice.

I could never dream of having my own house. I was giddy with excitement when I turned the keys to my first house! I always had a good sense of color and design, so decorating was not a problem for me. But I still wanted to know more. That led me to my second degree in interior design. Since that time I was blessed with the clients that became a part of my life.

When I am not designing or reflecting on the blog posts, you can find me at the beaches of New Jersey. Read More About Marina
