11 DIY Home Decorating Ideas and Tips
Simple Ways to Redecorate Your Home
From painting your walls a new color to rearranging your furniture, here are some tips on redecorating your home to give it a new look.
Painting
The color of paint on your walls can end up dictating the mood and feel for your home. Perform a color test on the wall before painting the entire room to ensure you like it. Paint just the trim for a smaller update effort or choose to do the entire room.
Supplies Needed:
• Gallons of Paint
• Paint Brushes
• Rollers
• Masking Tape
• Drop Cloth
Artwork Décor
Updating your décor on the walls from artwork to family photos will fresh up your space. Change your focal points by changing out a big painting for a series of small ones or vice versa. Highlight seasonal colors by using lighter and brighter pictures for the spring and summer times and changing to darker richer colors for the fall and winter.
Supplies Needed:
• Fresh New Art from Consignment Stores
• Threaded Anchors, Screws, or Picture Hangers
• Hammer or Drill
• Measuring Tape and Leveler
Furniture
Updating older and tattered furniture can not only be more functional but visually appealing. Choose pieces that complement your existing décor and look for sofas and recliners that fit practically within your living space. Shop at a consignment store for budget friendly selections.
Supplies Needed:
• Idea of Room Theme and Colors
• Colorful Throw Pillows
• A Mode of Transportation for Furniture or Delivery Options
