12 Very easy Interior Decorating Tips To Add A little bit of Style To Your Home

April 8th, 2010

If you don’t have the time or the funds for a complete home renovation, here are 12 quick interior decorating points to add a little excitement and style to your home:

1. Wallpaper borders: You don’t have to paint or fully cover walls to add a bit more interest. Try wallpaper borders. They come in all kinds of colors, patterns and shapes.

2. Add an Area Rug: Even if you already have a carpeted family room, you can add a brightly colored or uniquely patterned rug for a different look. You can place them at floor level, mid- level or up at the ceiling. Get creative!

3. Put Valances on the Window: A window valance is just a small decorative curtain. It’s much shorter and it’s only function is to look pretty on a bare window or a window with blinds.

4. Keep Your Home Organized: Okay, that doesn’t actually sound like a decorating tip, but the more organized and uncluttered your home is, the better it will look and the more cozy it will feel.

5. Try New Ceiling Lighting or a Different Lamp: It’s surprising what a difference lighting can make in a dwelling. Update your look with some new lighting.

6. Add Color: There are a number of ways to add color to your home. You can do it with towels, throw pillows, table skirts, folding screens, fancy bedsheets and more.

7. Paint Your Cabinets: Not ready for new cabinets? If you have wooden cabinets, it is easy to very easily paint them with acrylic paint made for wood.

8. Decorate Your Walls: Add paintings, framed photos, artwork, candle sconces or whatever suits your fancy.

9. Add Novel Decorative Light Switch Covers: Forget about about drab and boring white or beige light covers. Add a bit of excitement to the home.

10. Add Cushions to Your Chair: Not only will it create a new look for your chairs, but it may cover up some of those scratches that build up over time.

11. Switch Your Door Handles: Door handles aren’t too difficult to change and come in quite a few styles and color choices.

12. Add Candles, Vases or other Centerpieces to Your Tables: You can try pillar candles in a number of sizes placed on a decorative plate, a brightly colored vase with fresh flowers or some other unique centerpiece to add beauty to any area.

Not all interior makeovers call for a contractor and thousands of dollars. If you have a bit of time this weekend, now’s the perfect time to get started with these awesome decorating ideas.
