Rugs can be used to transform a room.
Addition of a area carpet is one of the easiest and quickest ways to revitalize a space. Rugs add color, style and design. You can go a couple different routes. You can choose to have a rug that is the focus of the room or a rug that is subtle and elegant. This will help highlight the furniture in the room. Changing textures can alter the mood in a room. Sisal, jute, or other organic materials can be used to create a relaxing atmosphere.
A wool rug, on the other hand, may add to the coziness of the space. You can give your rug some extra oomph if you want to keep it and use it. Different textures create depth in the room. The right-sized area rugs are an elegant solution for any room of the home: the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and hallways.
Paintbrushes are out!
Paint makes everything new. You could paint the entire room for a dramatic transformation. Try an accent wall if you’re not up for such a commitment. A wall painted in a bold color will make a statement, and transform drab into fab. It’s not just the walls that can be painted.
If you paint a mirror or chair that looks old or chipped, it can appear new. Modernize with a crisp white. Paint can be used to add a splash of color to an accent piece, like a hot pink, fire engine red or lime. You can upcycle pieces that you already own or thrift for a hidden gem.
Knobs: Make them New
New knobs can give your furniture a new look if it is starting to look dated. You can save money by doing this yourself. There are YouTube videos that show you how. Look for a style you like or one that’s in fashion. You can replace knobs on drawers in the bathroom, bedroom doors, and kitchen cabinets. It’s a great way to feel new while staying within budget.
Upgrade the Lighting
A room will look completely different if you change the lighting. Switch the personality of light shades and fixtures for novelty. Try rattan or neutral if your shades are black. You can try glass if you’ve had metal for many years. Architectural chandeliers and pendant lights add a unique touch to your home.
You have a variety of options for lighting placement. You can also change the look of a room with a table or floor lamp. These illuminated accessories can often bring a lovely warmth to the room. Candles are a great way to add luxury in any room, from the living area to the bathroom.
Artwork
You’re tired of seeing your “Live, Laugh, Love”, every time you enter the house? It’s easy to add or swap artwork in a room. You can also decide for how long it will be up, and when you’d like to change it again. Upgrade your existing artwork with a new frame.
You can create a new look by changing the position. Create a gallery with more pieces, for example. You don’t have to spend a fortune on a Picasso to add your own artistic touch. Framing a book or map page will give your wall a vintage look without breaking the bank.
Plant Life
Greenery can be overlooked when designing a space, but it adds color, texture, and character. Plants can make a space feel more welcoming. They also refresh the area. Hanging plants are a great way to fill up a corner or make an area more interesting. Accents can be created with plant cuttings or small vases. Try succulents if you’re worried about your green thumb. Succulents are low maintenance but offer a unique look and style.
You can buy flowers for yourself, as Miley Cyrus reminds you. Colorful displays add so much to the beauty of a space. You can find inexpensive items at the grocery store or farmer’s markets. Simple, beautiful bouquets can be used to decorate shelving, coffee tables, and entryway tables.
Rearrange Furniture
This is a great idea if you are on a tight budget. Rearranging your furniture costs zero dollars. Pinterest can provide you with ideas for a new design. Try a few feng-shui techniques to create a new flow in the room. You can also change the appearance of a space by moving furniture from one area to another.
You might get bored with a bookcase that is in your living room but it could create a dynamic in a bedchamber. You can change the look of your shelf by replacing some books with artwork or vases. Try allowing more negative space or arranging your books into a rainbow order to create a cool visual.
Change is good. It will help you to be more creative in your home and look at things with a new perspective. A new color, texture, shape or placement can bring a whole room to life. Start with a few of these ideas.
