5 Ways In Which You Can Make Simple Changes To Your Home
Decorating
Home decorating, ever wanted to try it, but hesitated because of
time constraints or budget concerns. The following ideas will
not only give instant results, but more importantly fit into any
budget.
1. Changing the Look of Your Walls
Adding a new color or changing the texture, can give the room a
completely new appearance and that may be the only decorating
change that is necessary. The easiest option is to paint, and
with the color choices available, the possibilities are endless.
Another consideration would be wallpaper; the only problem you
may have is choosing a design. If on the other hand, only a
little something extra is needed a simple stencil design might
just do the trick. Any of these ideas can be used either
individually or in combination with each other.
2. Look to Your Windows For a Whole New View
Changing your window treatments is probably the easiest of any
home decorating projects. The choices range from styles that
include drapes, tab-top, cafe and shears, backgrounds of solid
colors, floral and stripes, fabrics that include silk, cotton,
lace or velvet. The most economical is ready-made; they are very
affordable therefore giving you the opportunity to make changes
more often.
3. Accessories Make Your Decorating Complete
Some of the more common are area rugs, wall art, lamps, pillows
and cozy throws. Items for the kitchen make beautiful additions,
for example; canisters, dinnerware, dishtowels or decorative
bottles filled with oils and vinegar. Add a little whimsy with
oversized ceramic figures like roosters, or the adorable pigs
holding chalkboard menus. Bathrooms are another area for pretty
accessories like decorative soaps placed in a bowl or basket;
towels come in so many colors and designs now that they alone
make great accessories. Last but not least do not forget candles
and bowls of potpourri
4. Collectibles Bring a Personal Touch to Home Decorating
Collectibles can be anything involving three or more of the same
thing, or items that are related. This can include porcelain
dolls, Christmas villages, collector plates and who can resist
those adorable little faces of Boyds Bears. Maybe items with a
nostalgic feel like tin lunchboxes, cookie jars or salt &
peppershakers stir up special memories of childhood
5. Updating Your Furniture
One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is with slipcovers;
they come in a large variety of colors and patterns. Pieces like
end tables, hutches or even a dinning table and chairs can be
refinished for a new look. One way is with paint. Pick a color
to coordinate with your room or choose something bright and
whimsical. Another option would be to use stain, stains come in
a multitude of shades; they can also come in colors.
So, if you are ready to give some decorating a go, try these
basic changes to start. Over time, more things can be changed
but for right now, simple changes can make a big difference
