Interior Design Tips

Tips to refresh and add interest to your space and an easy process to start immediately.

Room Refresh: Easy Ways to Revamp Your Space

Refreshing your space doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. The key is to start small and gradually build up your changes for a home that feels new and inspiring. Whether you’re looking for quick fixes or bold transformations, here’s an easy guide to revamping your space.

Step 1: Start with the Basics

Before making major changes, simplify your space:

  • Declutter. Donate or store items you no longer need. Clearing out unnecessary pieces will help you visualize where your style is headed.
  • Shop Your Home. Mix old and new furniture and accessories to create fresh combinations. Repurposing items you already own adds character without extra cost.
  • Rearrange Your Layout. Try a new floor plan that incorporates existing pieces in fresh ways. Evaluate your current needs and adjust accordingly.

Step 2: Simple & Budget-Friendly Updates

Once the basics are in place, enhance your space with small but impactful details:

  • Add Colorful Accents. Introduce pillows, throws, and decorative objects that add personality and vibrancy to your home.
  • Mix Materials & Patterns. Experiment with textures, metals, and prints for a visually layered effect that keeps the eye engaged.
  • Use Mirrors to Brighten & Expand. Strategically placed mirrors reflect light and make rooms feel larger—a classic design trick!

Step 3: Medium Effort, Big Impact

Ready for more change? These updates require a bit more effort but make a major difference:

  • Create a Gallery Wall. Showcase collected art, family photos, or meaningful prints for an instant focal point.
  • Invest in Antiques & Vintage Finds. Adding pieces with history creates a unique, eclectic feel in any space.
  • Change Your Wall Color—Including the Ceiling! Don’t limit yourself to trendy hues. Instead, choose colors that speak to you and reflect your personality.
  • Consider Wallpaper. Play with bold patterns on walls or ceilings for a one-of-a-kind look.

Step 4: High-End, Transformative Touches

For those looking to elevate their space with bold design choices, consider these luxurious updates:

  • Install a Wall Mural. Painted or wallpapered murals act as art pieces that give rooms a stunning architectural element.
  • Upgrade Your Lighting. Adding new lamps or installing statement fixtures with the help of an electrician can change the way your home feels and functions.
  • Invest in Quality Upholstery. Comfort is key—test out furniture in person to ensure you find pieces that truly suit your needs.
  • Splurge in the Kitchen. Since you spend time in this space daily, it’s worth upgrading backsplashes, countertops, and lighting to maximize beauty and functionality.
