With new home sales down, many are looking to redecorate their existing homes. New accent items can be an excellent way to change things up a bit. The popular metal wall hangings can be a simple, yet elegant way to update a room without going over your budget. Attractive mirrors can add depth and also bring a bit of flair to any room.
The family room is usually the first room to get a makeover since so much time and entertaining is held there. Add an attractive table, ottoman or lamp to the room to spruce it up. Update your old ceiling fan with one that has character. Fireplaces can now be dressed up with a beautiful screen. Don't have a fireplace? You can now add a new electric one without losing much space. A new wall clock that makes a statement is a unique way to decorate a bare wall. Place decorative floor pillows around for a cozy look. How about those windows? Wouldn't they look great with a new pair of curtains?
Kitchen redecorating usually runs a close second behind the family room. Whether you have a small or large kitchen, it only takes a few things to make it look new. Add those new small appliances to make entertaining easy. A kitchen cart gives you additional work space and most have wheels for easy placement. Wine racks and cabinets are very popular and useful. Dress them up with a set of beautiful hand painted glasses and decanters and you have a wonderful addition to your kitchen or dining area. A whimsical character always gets the conversation going! Most have a usable chalk board or are a wine holder which makes them functional too. They come in several characters. Whether you choose the waiter, the chef or the whimsical pig, you can count on it getting some laughs.
A new bedspread, quilt or comforter can change the entire look of your bedroom. Add some matching curtains and you have a whole new room for a very affordable price.
Don't forget the patio! Fire pits and patio heaters let you enjoy the outdoors in the cooler months. Garden statues are a great way to add character to your outside area. There are many designs to choose from. Place solar lights along sidewalks or even along garden boarders to add depth to your yard.
Updating your home with new décor can be fun, affordable and give your home new life.
After being laid off from my job of 18 years, I had time on my hands to give my own home a much needed updating. Knowing I had a limited budget, I had to be creative in finding affordable items. I felt others deserved to bring new life back into their existing homes. With new home sales down and many being out of work, I created a site where everyone can update their existing home at affordable prices. http://WWW.JustMyStyleHomeDecor.Com
