3. Time to Change things up
-
- I always feel this is the best time to look at a space with a fresh eye
- This is a perfect time to shop your own home, refresh by moving things around, switch out pictures, change the accossories on the tables tops & bookcases
- There is no rule that once you buy a rug, pillows, bench etc for a room, that they can’t look fantastic in another
- Refresh your home the easy way and get a new look without spending any money

4. Redecorate
-
- Once you have moved things around and gotten rid of anything that has seen better days it’s time to refresh!
- Now it’s time to walk though your home and jot down what needs to be added to each room, this makes shopping a lot easier
- Rearranging the furniture in your home or freshening things up by buying new pieces that suit your personal style is a great way to switch things up
- Lighting is one of the essential elements of any room. It can literally change how it looks and feels, so put some thought into what kind of lighting you use in each room
5. Bring Nature into your home
-
- Bring nature into your home, by bringing in some plants. Adding plants to any room is a great way to make it feel more alive
- The added foliage will add a pop of color to what might otherwise be a dull room. It can also help to purify the air
- If you’re not good with plants, don’t worry, many low-maintenance plants are perfect for those who don’t have a green thumb. Getting a faux plant is another option
