Lifestyle Friday: 3 Small changes can yield maximum results

I remember back in the day, way before I got into interior design, I used to give my space a refresh often.

I may have rearranged my furniture, swapped a few accessories from one room to another, or purchased a few new (easy to change) items  just for a new perspective.

I had a roommate at the time and it drove her nuts!  It turns out that keeping things the “same” gave her a sense of stability.

Needless to say, she wasn’t my roommate for long….

Many years later, things haven’t changed much…I still love to shift things around to enhance my surroundings, and fortunately, my hubby doesn’t mind (most of the time).  🙂

Truthfully, unless you need to knock out a few walls and are in need of a true renovation, most of us can breathe new life into our existing spaces with a few minor changes.

Some of my favorite updates are listed below, any combination of the 3 could yield great results

• New paint color……this is a big one!!!
• Change room layout to maximize space, make it more cozy, feel larger etc.
• Add new pillows for new color, new patterns, new season, different size, different shape, or better comfort.

• Add a throw or two to up the coziness factor and simultaneously add a splash of color, texture or pattern.
• Swap out a table for a multipurpose ottoman, the ones with storage options are awesome!
• Rotate your art or look for a stunning new piece or two.
• Layer an area rug over your wall to wall carpet or hardwood floors…it will define the area, protect your wood and add interest too!
• Update those builder light fixtures for something more stunning, more architectural, more bold etc.

• 
• Replace the centerpiece that’s been on the dining room table for the last 25 years.
• Add new carpet runners or entryway mats…admit it the current ones look like they’ve had 9 lives.

The holidays are around the corner….what small changes will you be making???
