10 Home Decorating Ideas To Quickly Update Any Room
Not all home decorating ideas require a
heavy investment of time and money. If you're looking for a few
affordable home interior decorating ideas to freshen up a room over
a weekend, try these ten:
1. Rearrange The Furniture - Pull your furniture away from the
walls. Try positioning it at intriguing angles. For example, a sofa
arranged diagonally across a narrow living room will make the room
look wider.
2. Paint A Wall - Paint one wall your favorite color and make it the
focal point. Hang interesting art on that wall and move a nice piece
of furniture there. (Note: Make sure that the color is one that is
shared with several other objects and fabrics in the room.)
3. Bring In Plants - Greenery always adds a breath of fresh air to a
room. If you don't have a green thumb, try silk plants and trees.
The quality has gotten so good that its hard to distinguish them
from the real thing.
4. Lay An Area Rug - An area rug is a wonderful way of defining a
conversation area. Try one that complements the room. Lay it at an
angle beneath your coffee table.
5. Hang Pictures or Mirror - Hang pictures that reflect your
personality. Try frames that are more ornate. When hanging a mirror,
try and position it so that it reflects and nice view or an
interesting architectural element.
6. Group Figurines - Pull out your favorite collectibles. Show off
your personality. Find a display area and group related objects
together, in sets of three or five. Try and vary the shapes.
7. Add Decorative Pillows - The good news about decorative pillows
is that they are an easy way to add textures and patterns to a room.
Still better, they can be changed to jazz up a sofa or chair before
your room is ready for a major makeover.
8. Replace Lamps - Lamps are probably the one thing in your home
that will give others a clue that your room is outdated. Seek out
new and fresh lamps that make a statement.
9. Add A Throw Or Afghan - Similar to decorative pillows, throws and
afghans add texture to your furniture. They come in all kinds of
natural and man made fabrics. Find a pattern and style that you
like.
10. Eliminate Clutter - Clutter has a way of eliminating the desired
mood and effect of any room. Find storage spaces for papers, toys,
and other items that take from the personality of a room.
