Most people avoid buying home decor as wedding gifts, unless they know the couple very well--or unless it's something you registered for. Besides, many couples today live together before they are married, so their homes may already be completely furnished.
Are you working with a "blank slate," so to speak? This can be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, you can decorate your home around a brand-new style, theme or color scheme. On the other hand, it can be very difficult to decide on home decor for your wedding registry. Need some help getting started?
Establish your style(s)
Are you more contemporary or traditional? Do you like bright colors, or more muted ones? Work with your future spouse to brainstorm your preferred decorating styles. Pore through magazines if you need to. Consider colors and elements that you like and dislike. Make a list to which you can refer as you register for wedding gifts for the home.
Envision each room
Now that you know your overall style, envision how you want each room to look. For example, your kitchen might have stainless steel and black appliances. Register for a microwave or toaster that works with that style. Choose a cherry-red mixer or daffodil dish towels that pop against your contemporary kitchen. Want a luxurious bathroom? Register for plush, white bath towels.
