Declutter and Rearrange
Storing some of the things you'd like out of your living room will always make a difference, especially in opening up space and making a room feel larger and less cluttered. To really shake things up, rearranging the furniture in a room can make the space feel new, vibrant, and exciting—while still being yours. 

And don’t forget to start with a deep clean before diving into your refresh—check out our tips and tricks for making your home sparkle!

Pick a Theme and Stick to It
Picking a through line for home decor is a great idea for a variety of reasons. Whether it's a color palette or a unifying motif, it lends a sense of oneness to the home and allows you to mix and match between rooms. That way, when you want to shake things up, there's an easy way to do it, and it'll look great!

Don't be Afraid of Green 

When the weather starts to warm up, a few household plants is a great way to add life to your space. Don't be afraid to start the planning now: do some research into what plants you think will look good in your space! Succulents are low maintenance, and even artificial plants provide a splash of color and brighten up a room. For those with a green thumb, we have a blogs on plants and gardening to keep you ahead of the curve: The Perfect Apartment Garden.

Update Your Cushions and Bedding

A change to the room's accents: throw pillows and bedding, for example, can make a massive difference in the space from season to season. A warm tone for summer and autumn versus a cool tone for winter and spring can make a bedroom feel like a vacation twice a year. More frequent, smaller changes (such as festive seasonal throws) are a great way to change up a space from time to time and keep things fun! 

 

Change the Lighting

Some people install LED bulbs in their lamps. You can change the vibe of a room from an app on your phone! For those with less tech savvy, a new lamp is a great way to see a space in a new light. Get it? Replace any harsh or outdated bulbs with a light you find comforting. Plus, there's no harm in getting a lamp that you enjoy!
