Small Touches To Quickly Transform Your Home
When was the last time your home needed a quick transformation? Was it when your in-laws announced they were coming for the weekend only a couple of days before? Did you suddenly need to host a dinner party? Or was it when you were getting ready to move, and your home needed staging for photos? Regardless of your situation, sometimes your home needs a refresh and FAST! Luckily, a few strategic décor updates can make a major impact in minimal time. The best part? You don’t have to do a full-scale renovation.
Here are some ideas to help get you started:
- Use a chic runner to style your table. A simple table runner instantly transforms your dining area. If you prefer a casual vibe, opt for a striped cotton runner. Or, try a fringed runner with a geometric pattern for a bohemian feel. No matter your style, adding a table runner is an effortless way to refresh the entire room. Pair the runner of your choosing with coordinating placemats or napkins for a pulled-together look that’s totally Instagrammable.
- Bring the natural elements in with greenery. Nothing freshens up a room like fresh (or faux) plants! Whether it’s a hanging plant in the corner, a vase of eucalyptus on the mantel, or a charming potted plant on the coffee table, plants equal life when it comes to home decor. And don’t worry about using faux flowers — especially if you need the vibe to last longer than a few days. Today’s faux plants are so well made that you’ll mistake them for the real thing.
- Create a statement with your mantle. For homes with fireplaces, the mantel is prime real estate for quick and easy style upgrades. First, remove any clutter. Then, choose a single piece of decor that catches the eye. We’re talking statement pieces like an elegant vintage mirror or an oversized vase. Abstract sculptures also work well! If you don’t want to stick to one piece, create a small vignette with a clock and some vases (fill one while leaving another empty). No matter what you do, a well-styled mantel can make the entire room feel more put-together and draw attention away from other areas.
- Amp up the cozy with a plush rug. It’s no secret a well-placed throw rug completes a room. Think hallway runners, colorful accent rugs in living and dining spaces, and welcoming doormats. While these additions may seem simple, they create an effortless sense of style and provide a soft underfoot in spaces with vinyl or hardwood flooring. For bonus points, try layering rugs like a smaller patterned rug over a neutral jute one.
- Light things up with lamps. Good lighting makes all the difference. If time allows, add a floor lamp in living rooms or dens. In the bedroom, swap out (or add!) a chic bedside table lamp to make it feel more polished. You can also add pendant lighting or wall sconces to an entryway or a wrought iron chandelier over your dining table. If there’s no time to hunt for new light fixtures, you can still make an impactful change by swapping out old lampshades for new ones.
