With a little creativity, small changes can make a big impact on the beauty and functionality of your home. Try these 10 affordable ideas to refresh your living spaces:
- Change out artwork with each season.
- Paint a focal wall a new color.
- Replace regular light bulbs with CFLs.
- Rearrange furniture in your family or living room.
- Add or change out cabinet knobs in the kitchen or bathrooms.
- Slipcover a side chair with a sophisticated, modern fabric.
- Turn picture frames into unique display trays by personalizing them with photos or other mementos and laying them flat on a bedside table or countertop to corral accessories.
- Keep a jumble of electronics cords under control with flexible plastic or foam tubing that is slit lengthwise. Feed all the cords into the slit to conceal them and cut the tubing to length. Kits are sold at home goods and organization stores or you can use pipe insulation. Don’t forget to add color-coded labels for each piece of electronic equipment for easy identification.
- Change the mood with the addition of bright and unique pillows.
- Add a bold, graphic area rug for instant impact.
