Decorating your home should be fun and a reflection of your personality. However, decorating can be overwhelming at times, especially if you want your home to be more sophisticated, but are unsure of where to start. Here are 9 simple, easy ways to help your home take on a more elegant look.
1. Gold Hardware
Never underestimate the power of some classy hardware! To spruce up your kitchen, try replacing existing hardware with sleek, gold handles and accessories.
2. Headboards
Having an elegant headboard can instantly take a bedroom from 0 to 100. There are many affordable, stylish headboards out there, or you can try making your own!
3. Bathroom Tray
Storing bathroom products like hand soap, lotion, perfume, etc. on a decorative tray not only clears up clutter from your counter, but displays these items in a tasteful way.
3. Throw Cushions
To turn a drab space into a cozier, more thoughtful one, add complementary throw cushions! This applies to couches, beds, and armchairs.
4. Frame Mirrors
It’s incredible to see how much an entire space can transform by doing something as simple as framing a mirror.
5. Frame Your TV
Speaking of framing, have you ever considered framing your TV? Televisions tend to be quite unsightly, but putting a frame around it makes the area more stylish.
6. Lighting
I cannot stress this enough. Lighting makes all the difference when it comes to the vibe of a room. Swap out those old kitchen lights for something more sleek. And change out that dated dining room fixture to something that fits the character of your home more!
7. Bigger-Looking Windows
There’s a simple trick to making your windows (and in turn, the room) look larger. Instead of hanging a curtain rod directly above your window frame, hang the rod higher up and closer to the ceiling.
8. Large Mirrors
An excellent way of making a small room appear bigger is by either hanging or leaning an oversized mirror against one wall. It makes the space appear roomier and brighter.
9. Area Rugs
An instant way to make a room appear more stylish and cozy is by laying down an area rug. Area rugs are great in both living rooms and bedrooms, and they really do change the entire look of a space.
