DIY Decorating Tips

1. Fill the Space
A cheap trick for decorating a wall space above a couch: Add frames displaying family photos.

 

 

2. Hang a Shelf
Make a narrow room appear wider with a long, sleek shelf that doubles as a mantel.

3. Toss a Pillow
Colourful accent pillows revamp a sofa without forcing you to spend a fortune.

4. Add a Rug
Use a large rug to ground a space.

5. Reflect on This
Place mirrors in a hallway to open up the space and reflect light.

6. Be Unexpected
Paint the interior of a closet an exciting colour for a nice surprise when you hang up coats.

7. Go for a Bohemian Bedroom
Your bedroom doesn’t need to be matchy-matchy. You can give it a fresh look by changing out your linens and mixing them up.

8. Define Your Focus
When considering a makeover, always remember that a successful room needs an object of focus. A piece of art, something inherited like a piece of furniture, or even a found object.

9. Accessorize in Colour
Update your bathroom without major renovations using new, colourful towels, curtains and bathroom ensembles.

10. Accent With Paper
Wallpaper does not have to just be patterns. Paper the wall of a room with a photo for a surprise burst of colour!

Happy decorating!
