HGTV has a great article with room-by-room dos and don’ts for your vacation home. Here are some of the tips covered:

Dos

• Create an inviting and eye-catching entrance, inside and out.
• Make sure you can see the entrance of the kitchen when you’re cooking.
• Use white plates, as they allow the natural beauty of the food to be the focal point of the meal.
• Put the TV and other electrical equipment in your living room into a cabinet to be hidden from view when not in use.
• In your office, add healthy plants which are beneficial and counter-balance the effects of electrical equipment.
• Replace bedding at least once a year to add a fresh, positive energy to the space.
• Add fire and earth elements in your bathroom.

Don’ts

• Leave broken steps or items in poor maintenance in your entryway.
• Use fluorescent lights in your kitchen, as they’re harsh and unappetizing.
• Have sharp, pointed edges on tables and chairs.
• Place too many pillows on the couch.
• Paint your home office in drab colors.
• Place one side of the bed against a wall.
• Create clutter on the sink, countertop, tub edge or shower stall in your bathroom.
