3 Simple Strategies to Refresh and Update Your Home Decor On a Budget

Here are some creative home decorating ideas to explore -which don’t take up too much time or cost too much money.

1. Change your color palette

Have you fallen out of love with your lime green bathroom? Does your kitchen look dark or cramped? Do you fancy being a little bolder in the living room?

One of the best and simplest ways to freshen up your decor is to switch up your color palette.

When choosing colors for your living spaces and bedrooms, think about how you use the space.

Take the size of the room into consideration…

  • Light shades and neutral tones can make small sized bedrooms and bathrooms and cozy kitchens look and feel bigger.
  • Pastel shades, monochrome color schemes and tones of beige, green, gray and blue each add tranquility to bathrooms and boudoirs.

Don’t be afraid to go beyond neutrals. Bright and bold colors are okay, as long as you find strategic ways to complement them with your trim, wooden living room furniture, and decors. Try red, yellow, purple, or green hues! Be free to transform your dull corner and welcome good luck.

You can also add color by painting a signature wall. Put up some colorful artwork. Or you can use printed or patterned wallpaper. Another idea: Create open, bright spaces by replacing darker shades with crisp white or neutrals. 

Replacing darker tones with clean whites or neutrals may quickly make a space appear more airy and welcoming. To accentuate this effect, you can explore brick veneer or stone veneer Canada as a textured accent wall, which will give warmth and character to the area. Combining these options with vivid artwork or patterned wallpaper may result in a lively yet harmonious space that represents your taste. Finally, the objective is to strike a balance between light, texture, and color to create a unified and visually appealing interior design.

2. Refresh your flooring
