Once you’re done with your spring cleaning, you might be thinking it’s time to make some updates to your home, too. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean you have to do any extreme or time-consuming renovations. There are simple design and home decor updates you can do in each room that will transform your home in no time!
Easy & Affordable Home Decor Updates
Below are a few things you might consider changing in your home to refresh or liven it up for the next season:
Curtains
You’d be amazed at what a new color of curtains can do for a room! If the room is neutral, then try going with a bold color. Yellows, oranges and pinks are perfect for spring and summer. Blues and greens are great for fall and winter. If your space already has pops of color, put some curtains up that are neutral but have a cool texture or pattern.
Potted Plants
Adding a medium-sized potted plant to your room can really liven up the place, whether it’s real or fake. Adding greenery can open the area up and give the illusion of more space. You can stick with a neutral plant pot or choose one with a colorful design.
Accent Pillows & Throws
These are typically the easiest and most budget-friendly changes you can make to your home decor. First, look for inspiration online with a simple Google search or scroll through Pinterest. Take those ideas with you to an affordable store like Home Goods or Ross Dress For Less to find similar pillow and throw dupes for a great price.
Wall Art
Have you had the same wall art since you moved into your place like five years ago? It’s time for a change! Abstract monotone art and framed printed word posters are currently trending, so try some out. If you’re looking for a fun project, create your own art! Just frame it and hang it up once you’ve made the perfect piece. Also, you don’t have to get rid of your current wall art. Store it somewhere safe for the next time you feel like you need a home decor refresh and switch it back.
Area Rug
Depending on the size of the space, switching out the area rug in your living room or bedroom could be a little pricey. However, if you haven’t made a change in years, it’s probably time anyway. Finding a new, clean area rug can lighten and brighten up your space. You might even feel like you have a whole new room if you update both your rug and accent pillows to match.
Coffee Table
This is typically the most expensive item to change on our list, but it can be so worth it. Switching out any of your old furniture for a new piece can really make all the difference in your home. However, it’s not always within the budget to buy a new couch or dining room table. That’s why we’re suggesting the coffee table. Buy something a little out of your comfort zone, or at least different from what you currently have to see the most significant transformation. You’d be surprised that such a small piece of furniture can change the whole vibe of your living room!
