Here’s the third installment of our series on ways to make quick, simple changes to your home’s interior design.
The first ‘Quick & Easy Updates‘ covered ways to incorporate color into your rooms, how changing a lampshade can introduce patterns and textures and the benefits of an area rug.
‘Quick & Easy Updates – Part 2‘ discussed re-purposing old furniture, utilizing slipcovers and rearranging a layout.
Following are more ways to update your space:
Experiment with Bolder Designs
Before you tackle a larger room, test your design chops and ideas on a smaller, less frequently used room of the house. A powder room makes a great canvas to test the use of bolder colors and materials.
Rotate Accessories
Having a set of accessories for every major season stockpiled in storage will guarantee two things: they will save you money in the long run because you’re not constantly purchasing more and your space won’t be stale because it will be ever-changing.
Rotate the accessories throughout the seasons in order to keep your space fresh.
Change the Matting in Framed Art
While creams and whites make for attractive matting options, they can be boring when those prints are used as art put on display.
Experiment with bolder color matting that compliments the design of your room. The additional pop of color on the wall will make the area stand out.
