Anyone who knows me at all knows that I love to change up the home decor in my house on a regular basis. I find myself getting sick of all my old items and long for something new. My latest transformation was my family room. For quite some time I have had a red living room. Everything in it was Red & Black. Recently, I changed it up a bit. It looks completely different and the best part is, it was rather inexpensive to complete.
If you are someone who has been longing to change up the look and feel of a room in your house this blog post is for you. Keep reading to discover just how you can change your home decor in a couple easy steps.
Give Old Items a Makeover: I am all about saving old home decor if it can be changed and used to match the new style of a home. Recently when redecorating my living room I took some old frames that had been sitting on my shelf. I had a couple different frames that were various sizes. I took the frames, painted them white & glued them together to give them a more chunky look & feel. I then distressed the edges and they look brand new. I’ve had a million compliments on these frames that I made from old decorations that I otherwise would have thrown out.
Another way you can reuse old items is by painting them. I had a large metal plate that sat on a shelf. This plate was Red and seriously one of my very favorite decorations in my home. I spray painted this particular plate glossy Yellow and applied a glaze over the top. I love the new look of this plate just as much as the old look. You really can do a lot with the old decorations in your home.
Update Your Throw Pillows on Your Couch: Another tip that can totally change the look of your home is updating your couch pillows. To save money I made my own pillow covers and placed them over my old pillows that were sitting on my couch. I then used some heat transfer paper that I recently found at https://www.craftdirect.com/silhouette/material/heat-transfer.html to add some design to my pillows. I added an “M” to my newly covered pillows and it totally added a charm to them that really made them pop.
Add Some New Curtains: I absolutely love gray and white striped curtains! When I was changing the look of my family room I knew that that was the style of curtains I wanted. When all the decorating was done in my room the finishing touch was my new curtains. It really helped change the look & feel of the room.
Now that my family room is newly decorated I love to just go in there and sit. I love to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and vibe that I get from my room.
You too can change the look and feel of any room in your house by following my simple tips above!! Enjoy!!
