Whether you’re fatigued by seeing the same decor every day or simply looking for an opportunity to refresh indoor spaces with an appealing mini-makeover, rethinking your favorite room in the house doesn’t need to be an expensive ordeal.
Even if your budget is tight, you can still make small changes to transform a room. Consider these ideas:
- Bring stylish flair to your space with a new color scheme. Rather than replacing all the furniture, which can be costly, focus on smaller accessory pieces such as pillows and decorative items. Create variety by using multiple hues of the same color or mixing two or more complementary colors.
- Introduce new accent furniture. Smaller and less cost-prohibitive than centerpieces like a couch, accent pieces such as end tables or a coffee table can provide subtle changes to a room’s look. You can also opt to refinish a piece of furniture you have on hand to create a look that’s all your own.
- Morph your room by simply rearranging what you already own. Adjusting the orientation of your furniture and decor can give you a whole new perspective on your favorite room.
- Whether it’s a flea market find, such as an old window frame that you paint and add a display shelf to the base, or a series of photos from your favorite vacation destination, adding some DIY art can not only update your room, but make it more personal too.
A new look for your favorite room can go a long way, so find ways to update your space for a comfy retreat you can enjoy.
