Making a small, yet impactful change to the look of your room
can be quick, easy and cost effective. The easiest way is to change
out decor items – get new storage baskets, replace your candles or
vases, get new throw pillows, etc. If you want to take it a step further,
here are five easy and relatively low-cost changes you can make this
weekend that go beyond purchasing new decor.
- Apply wallpaper to, or paint, the panels on your interior doors.
For doors that don’t have pre-made panels, change the colour
or texture of the entire door, or just a rectangle in the middle. - Change your lampshades and/or paint the bases of your lamps.
Either way, it will look like you went and purchased new lamps
when really you just gave them a makeover. - Change your light fixtures. You can add a chandelier to your
ceiling light in the kitchen or incorporate a square design if
your light fixture covers used to be round or vice versa. Add
colour to your wall sconces or track lighting to really make a
statement. - Install decorative vent covers. There are so many options on
the market today including the option to purchase custom
designed vent covers to make those household necessities into
works of art. - Upgrade the legs on your furniture. If your table, bed, chair or
sofa legs aren’t a permanent piece of the frame, you can replace
them entirely. Or, you can purchase covers that change the look
to match more with other furniture, or to stand out completely.
