What makes your house a home? The warmth of your atmosphere: home furnishings, decorations, colors, and style. Want to update your home with a new look, but can't afford to buy all new furniture?
Start with a blank slate - remove all the furniture from the room and start with an empty space. Watch the home decorating shows on TV, and you will discover that professionals start from scratch.
· Choose a design, color scheme, theme, or feeling. Choose something that will be consistent througout your house. For a new look, step out of the white / beige comfort zone - give your room some impact with bold color and texture!
· Take everything out of the room you want to redecorate. Select only a few favorite pieces to keep. Put them back into the room in a new arrangement.
· Keep only the furnishings you really love or which have sentimental value. Sell, donate, or trash the rest; don't keep clutter.
· Find new items to blend in with your existing furnishings, yet create an energetic contrast. In today's home fashions you'll find a mix, rather than matching, furniture pieces.
· Update a room easily by replacing a lamp, or a lamp shade. Pictures, rugs, pillows, plants, art collections, and cherished sentimental decorations give your room its distinct personality. But go light - don't overdo it.
You'll be glad for the fresh, new feeling. You can have a new house simply by redecorating.
If you're on a tight budget, or you want to find something unique, visit yard sales and thrift stores. You're sure to find a treasure that no one else has!
