Need a room re-do in less than 24 hours? Here are some tips to update a style in any room...right now!
1. Break up dining chairs: use them to flank a side table, or move 2 of them into your bedroom or living room.
2. Update your lamp shades: you’ll be surprised how quickly this small change can make such a big difference!
3. To lighten up a piece of dark furniture, paint a bright color on the inside.
4. Create a collection: whether it be mirrors, picture frames, candles, teacups...and remember, odd numbers often look better grouped together.
5. Decorate your personal space: put as much effort and enthusiasm into your personal spaces as you do into places that others will benefit from.
6. Take an object that is special to you and include it in your study, bathroom, or bedroom to inspire your while decorating.
7. Define a cozy space: hang curtains in a doorway to close off a bigger space or create a more intimate area in a smaller space.
8. Change your light fixture: similar to updating your lamp shades...instead of a traditional fixture in your kitchen, try hanging a lantern instead.
9. Ditch matching pillows: or anything, for that matter. Remember, decor should “go” together, but it doesn’t always have to “match.”
