subject: Guide To Decorating Your Home In Only One Day [print this page] There are a lot of ways that you can spend a day off. You could go to a movie. You could grab a pedicure with your best friend. Or you could re-decorate a room inside your home. Even though it may appear to be a big order to modify the rooms decorative properties in just one day, there are little alterations that you can make that will have a huge impact on the look of the room.
Maybe you are bored with the interior of your home but do not want to spend too much time redecorating it. Perhaps you have a senior parent who has moved in and you want a room that meets their tastes and age and that is befitting for their furniture. Whatever your reason for wanting a change, here are a few ideas that will get you started in just one day.
Paint
You probably already know that a fresh coat of paint can really alter the look of your room. Consider painting the whole room or maybe just an accent wall. An additional way to freshen up the room with paint is to give a fresh coat of paint or stain to architectural elements and moldings.
Rearrange furniture
Simply changing the layout of your existing furniture can make it feel like a whole new room. Move a chair close to a window to make a perfect spot for reading that is flowing with natural light. Help ease of traffic and wear on your carpet or floor by modifying the traffic pattern. Pull pieces from other room to give them and your room new life.
Change accessories
Making changes as small as changing throws and accent pillows can make a big difference. Doing so is a quick and inexpensive way to add new and interesting punches of color. Also, modify floral arrangements and other accessories like fish wall hangings or wall tapestries to help lend your room a new look. All of these changes can be made seasonally, or anytime that you just want a quick change.
Add new lighting
Take into consideration adding a a ceiling fan, recessed lighting, chandelier or some accent lighting. New lighting features can change the look of a whole room. While changing a fixture is easy, unless you are sure you know what you are doing, this would be a good time to call in a professional. While there are many ways you can change a room yourself, there are some times when it is best to call in a professional. The best example of such a time is when you are attempting to sell your home. Calling in a stager will help you show your home in the most favorable possible light, and that could add thousands of dollars to the sale price of your home.
Not only can professional arranging make use of your existing accent pieces and furniture, it can dramatically transform your rooms in just a few hours. While you may receive suggestions of adding new pieces, in many cases, stagers are able to work with what you already have in your home.
They refresh your space with different arrangements and wall art, which you may have stored in your attic or garage. In this fashion, they can help you achieve a completely new look that is attractive and practical in a manner of a few hours. Whether you do it yourself or hire a professional, redecorating a room or two is a great way to spend an afternoon off!
