Quick and Easy Design Tips to update your Home Decor

with Marie Burgos

Some people get bored with their home décor, and feel the need to change it often. Of course, many folks don't have the time or money to make big changes every time they feel their home needs a little freshening up. But there are fast and easy ways to update your look without having to spend a lot of money.

Paint

Nothing brightens a room like a fresh coat of paint. Experiment with a bold new color. Don't be afraid to try something different. If you really hate it, you can paint right over it! This quick change will work in any room in the house. Most rooms can easily be painted in less than a day, and your room will look extra fresh and clean.

Pillows

Want a new look for your living room or bedroom? Buy some fabulous new throw pillows! You can add interesting punches of color and beautiful touches of fabric just by tossing some pillows onto the couch or bed. If you think you are tired of your furniture or bedding, adding new throw pillows may change your mind and add some extra mileage to that old sofa.

Candles and Flowers

Adding candles and flowers can brighten up most any room. Even if you already have both, change them often. If you use artificial flowers for you arrangements, it's easy to become so used to your floral touches that you don't even notice them anymore. Change your arrangements every month or so to keep the room looking fresh. Candles can also be changed to add a touch of a different color or a wonderful new scent. Hanging candle holders make an interesting and bold choice, and will add a touch of elegance to any wall.

Mirrors and Wall Art

Changing the items you have hanging on your wall is one of the best ways to make your room look brand new. Replace the painting over your fireplace with a mirror or some metal work for an elegant change. Also, consider changing your artwork a few times a year. Perhaps you could choose art with a color palette that will compliment your seasonal decorating. Even if you are on a limited budget, there are specialty stores that sell beautiful prints and paintings at very reasonable prices. Also, visit your local art galleries. While not everything will be within your price range, there are likely to be some pieces that you can afford.

Accessories

Swapping out the items you have on shelves and tables in your rooms is a quick and easy way to help freshen up the look of any room in a matter of minutes. While some people don't like change, others grow bored with their decorating. This is an economical way to get the most mileage out of your décor.

You don't need a lot of time to make changes that will brighten up your home. In just one day you can make small changes that will make a big impact.
