Does your living room need a pick-me-up? Is your bathroom looking a little too blue these days? Here are some tips from design professionals on ways to update and revive any room in your house!
Re-cycle your own Items!
Could those chairs be repainted and used outside? Can that kitchen table be “coffee sized” and relocated to the sunroom? Use your imagination and creativity to turn old pieces into updated styles.
New Uses
Look beyond an item's traditional uses: try tablecloths as throws, wallpaper as framed art, or an old kitchen chair upholstered and turned into a favorite reading chair...
Flower Power
Never underestimate the significance of fresh flowers! Try your local farmer's market for great deals.
Show Your Varied Tastes.
Avoid being “too balanced” or having too many matching sets. Arrange an odd number of pillows on your couch, or group together complementary colors of candles in different sizes.
Get Creative with Your Bookshelf Settings
Stack books horizontally and vertically for a more playful look!
