It’s so important to make our homes reflect who we are. And it’s actually a lot easier than you might think to make simple – and reversible – changes to your living space. Try some of these ideas.

Create the Look You Want with Furniture & Accessories

Are you into farmhouse chic? How about mid-century modern? You don’t have to paint walls or install shiplap to get the look you want. Create your design theme with furniture and accessories. Buy a farmhouse bed and trick it out with rustic and old-fashioned linens, like this reversible throw. Turn your living room into a space where Don Draper would look right at home with just the right pieces (don’t forget a wet bar!). And use accessories to enhance the look you’re going for – think rugs, lamps, and knickknacks that reflect your design style.

Stick to Inexpensive Items

If you’re not sure how to enhance your home, or are waiting to make those big investments in furniture and other design items, stick to inexpensive accessories to jazz things up. Pick up a few grapevine wreaths, available at most craft stores, which are beautiful (and super cheap!) all on their own, but can also be embellished with dried or artificial flowers for that extra oomph. These can be leaned against walls or laid flat on shelves or dressers to house a collection of knick knacks or framed photos. Or pick up a few inexpensive prints from stores like HomeGoods.

Utilize Color

You can add a little flair to any room just by adding color. Buy small, red appliances or a kettle with a bold design for your kitchen. Add throw pillows and a rug in fun, colorful patterns to your living room. Paint a piece of furniture with a striking jewel tone or a soft pastel and make it a focal design piece.

Try Decorative Window Films

These decorative elements stick to windows with just static cling – which means they won’t hurt the windows and are easily removable. They’re simple and inexpensive yet have a huge visual impact on your living space. Not only that, but they enhance privacy without sacrificing light.
