10 totally free redecorating tips
Rearrange living room furniture
Give your living room a quick makeover by simply rearranging the furniture . Start by pulling everything out and changing the configuration. Move larger pieces of furniture to the centre and get rid of any large decorative items.
Then add colour with accents like throw pillows or smaller tables or display pieces. Get inspired by interior design blogs and websites, or gather together a few magazines and look for eye-catching furniture layouts.
Repaint wood furniture
Repainting can not only give your living/dining room or bedroom a brand-new look. But it also allows you to breathe new life into old furniture.
Get some furniture pieces from a thrift store, add a fresh coat of paint of your desire, and you’ll get a statement furniture piece to make a big difference.
While you’re at it, you can consider upcyling furniture to give your old pieces a brand new look at minimal expense!
Prop framed mirrors
Mirrors serve as a statement piece and make any space feel more dramatic, so try using a few of them in your room. Frame them and lean them against the wall or against the corner of a room to create a more expansive effect.
Turn objects into gallery wall art
Transform objects that you already own into striking wall art. Use mason jars and candles to create a candlelit art display, or give old vases a new paint job.
If you think unconventional is just not your style, try finding creative ways to incorporate classic items like books, hats, baskets, or maps into your decorating schemes.
Show off your jewellery
If you find yourself without any space for your jewellery—or even if you have plenty of drawers in the bedroom, consider using a small tray on your dresser or nightstand to display some pieces.
An antique tray will elevate a simple accessory, and add visual interest to your room.
Besides, hanging your jewellery on the wall is a great way to organise, display, and store all of your favourite pieces.
Display glass bottles
Turn an ordinary glass bottle into a decorative home accessory. Sand down the bottle and paint it, or simply fill it with water and plant a pretty flower inside. Placing them near your reading nook, dining table or guest room will make a huge difference.
Use a table runner
Table runners are not just for the holidays. A modern table runner can be used on your dining table at any time of year to give a room a fresh look.
Choose a colourful runner and use it as an accent piece, or choose neutral colours that will blend with your existing décor to make all the difference.
Hang family picture frames
Next time you redecorate, organise and display your family photos in a new way. Feel free to update your pictures every so often and change the layout of the frames whenever you want.
Organise books on the coffee table
Use your book collection as decorative items and your coffee table will serve as the perfect home base for them.
You can store magazines in baskets under the table. Or, lean a few books against it so that they’re packed together like a wall of art. Your table will become both functional and gorgeous!
Spice up your cabinetry
If you’re looking to add a pop of pattern to your room, there’s no better way than to line drawers or the back of a bookshelf with wallpaper, fabric, or wrapping paper.
If you’re sick of your cabinets, but don’t want to put in the work of new tile or wood, try removing the doors. This is a fun and temporary way to make a statement.
