How To Give Your Room A Face-Lift Inexpensively!
Looking for ways to improve your home's appearance...without
spending a fortune? Here's how I gave our old family room a
burst of color - without bursting our budget!
I was tired of looking at the same old earth tones in our family
room. Everything seemed so "safe" and blah.
With winter storms blowing in every week, I wanted a fresh burst
of spring! But I had to stay within a budget as we just finished
up with holiday spending.
I browsed through Pier 1 Imports and with great ease I collected
a few colorful and well-made items and put those together to
coordinate an outstanding new look for our family room that
screamed "fresh and alive!" I began by removing the throw
pillows that came with our sofas. I replaced them with bright
gold pillows. I was just looking for a splash of color to
brighten those sofas.
On the walls, I relocated a hanging clock and took down old
tired pieces of artwork and replaced them with paintings with
the same vibrant gold color to honor the new theme: new life!
Pier 1 had some gorgeous silk florals on sale and I teamed them
up with a handsome red hand blown glass vase for a stunning
look.
Finally, I grouped a cluster of simple white glass candle
holders of various sizes, inserted brand new scented yellow
candles and the look was elegant, yet comfortable and new. For
less than $150 I changed a tired room and gave it a clean, fresh
new look.
That's all we needed!
We didn't need to paint, buy new furniture etc. It just needed a
lift, and our spirits soared.
You don't always have to think big when redecorating. Something
as small as new throw pillows and new scattered throw rugs might
be all you need.
Have fun!
