You don’t need major renovations to upgrade your home’s interior design.
Sometimes all it takes is making simple tweaks to your home accents to refresh your space.
In this blog post, we’re sharing four ideas to help get you started.
Replace (or rearrange) area rugs
Whether it’s creating separation in an open-concept floor plan or making a room feel cozy during the winter months, area rugs are a functional interior design piece.
Beyond their function, area rugs are often used to round out the aesthetic of a room. And, that’s why if you’re looking to revamp a space, start with the area rug. Here are a few ideas to consider:
- Upgrade – Depending on the size, replacing an area rug can be a budget-friendly way to pull in new colors, add depth, and create an entirely new aesthetic.
- Swap – If you’d rather save money, consider swapping the area rug in your dining room for the one in your living room, for example. A simple swap can create an entirely new look and feel in any room without breaking the bank.
- Location – If an area rug has always been in one location in a room, consider moving it elsewhere. Doing so can make a huge impact on the overall look, feel, and flow of the area.
Redecorate surfaces
Shelves and other surfaces like dining and coffee tables are the perfect canvas for creativity. When it comes to styling, the options are seemingly endless. You can rearrange the items that are already there, or you can take it a step further and pull in other items from around the house for a decor refresh.
Redecorating the surfaces in your home is a cost-effective way to achieve a new look in any room.
Swap out throw pillows
Whether it’s on the bed, couch, or bench in the foyer, replacing throw pillows is a simple yet impactful way to freshen up a space. Consider new shapes, sizes, styles, colors, and prints to make the area feel new again.
Update window treatments
Windows are the main attraction in most rooms. They’re the gatekeeper to allowing natural light to stream into a room during the day and to create a level of privacy at night when needed. If you’re committed to taking the ambiance of a room to an entirely new level, consider custom wood shutters. This style of window treatment is a long-lasting and durable option that adds a layer of functional sophistication to Transform Your Home.
