Looking to refresh your space? These design tips have the power to totally transform any room, and they’re easy to implement!
Introduce Greenery
Plants bring new life to empty corners and shelves, while naturally improving air quality. Succulents, snake plants and Heartleaf Philodendrons can thrive indoors with little maintenance.
DESIGN TIP
No green thumb? No problem. Fake fiddle-leaf fig
trees are a popular solution for filling larger spaces, while smaller potted plants fit nicely on desks, end tables and wall shelves.
Incorporate Accent Pieces
Place accent pieces like candles, vases or bowls on coffee tables, nightstands and dresser tops to add a fresh new element to your space.
DESIGN TIP
Give your accents depth by using different sizes and shapes in your display. For example, try pairing a tall plant next to a small bowl or vase
Evaluate Artwork
The right wall décor can tie together separate elements of a room’s design, and in some cases, give the illusion of more space.
DESIGN TIP
Can’t pick just one favorite piece? Combine framed artwork, prints and personal photos and create a gallery wall. Try out different frames to mix it up!
Hang a Mirror
If you want to upgrade your space without a full renovation, try hanging a mirror — it will help any room feel more open and spacious.
DESIGN TIP
Brighten up your space by positioning your mirror across from or close to a window to bounce natural light.
Enhance Lighting
Typically, warm light is best for winding down in the evenings, while cool, bright light keeps you energized during the day. Identify your lighting preferences and get the bulbs to match.
DESIGN TIP
Place multiple light sources evenly around the room to help it feel more inviting, especially if natural light is scarce.
