Even a well-designed, well-loved space can become a little tired after a few years. You don’t always need to completely redesign your home to improve its look, however. There are several ways you can refresh your home to make it feel new again—a perfect project for the new year! Here are a few of our favorite ideas to get you started:
Add to your color palette.
You don’t have to repaint the entire room or update every piece of fabric to update your color palette. Instead, you can add a new, complimentary color to the mix. For example, if your space is primarily one neutral color, consider adding a more vibrant hue. You can incorporate the color through an accent wall, new curtains, throw pillows, a blanket or small accents.
Update the curtains.
Are your curtains weighing down your space? A great way to make a room more airy and bright is to replace heavy, dark curtains with lighter fabrics. Check out our post from last month to make sure you’re choosing the right curtains for your home.
Invest in new lighting.
The wrong light fixtures can easily make your home look dated. Investing in new lamps or a contemporary chandelier can instantly transform a space. One factor to keep in mind is the atmosphere of each room. For example, some rooms may benefit from installing a dimmer, such as in the bedroom and living room, while other rooms might need brighter light.
Customize your bedding.
Sometimes all a space needs for a refreshing new look is a little luxury. Custom bedding allows you to find the highest quality fabrics in colors and patterns you can’t get enough of. At Bon Brise Design, we assist in designing your custom bedding when redesigning your bedroom.
