Simple material swaps can be all it takes to transform any room without spending a ton of cash. Decorating is pretty expensive these days, so don’t go draining the college fund! From seasonal swap-outs to using more natural materials, here are some handy DIY décor suggestions.
Revamp A Part Of The Space
It isn’t always possible or affordable to redo an entire room. But you can focus on part of it. For example, you can refresh the bathroom or kitchen with some new fittings, fixtures, and tiles in the practical spaces, such as the immediate shower area or over the oven and stove. Of course, always try to pick the best new tiles for your home remodel or decorating projects, or you might find you are disappointed with the results, and the changes might not last as long.
Seasonal Soft Furnishing Swaps
The seasons are magical, and you can change your home to match. Perhaps not every season demands a change, but dramatic times of the year like autumn and spring are excellent times to refresh a space. For example, you can add coziness and warmth to match the colder weather coming in with plush rust-colored, mustard, and brown blankets, throws, and pillows. Of course, springtime living spaces will welcome thinner green, blue, and yellow fabrics and cushions.
Simple Material Swaps With The Décor
Most families redecorate their homes every 2 to 5 years. In that time, you can get pretty bored with your surroundings, and a fresh look is needed. However, even a small decorating project can be expensive these days. But don’t worry about draining the green pond, as maximizing small space can be as simple as swapping out small things like handles and light fixtures. You can also change lampshades and add visual appeal with decorative accessories.
How About Natural Materials?
Natural materials can work wonders when you want to add sophistication to a room and work really well seasonally. Materials like wicker and jute are amazing for a quick summer refresh, as they are light and airy. Of course, there’s always room for plants that look great while purifying your indoor air! However, if you are handy and have a sustainable side, you can also bring in some furniture or accessories made from reclaimed wood, brick, and other hard materials.
Don’t Neglect Walls And Furniture
Walls aren’t just there to keep the wind off you! Walls can play a key role in the décor of your home when used correctly. For example, you can try removable wallpaper on a feature wall if you are sick of looking at neutral beige everywhere! Then there’s cladding and wall panels for adding depth. Also, there’s no reason why you can’t upcycle some old bits of furniture! It is pretty trendy these days to give an old dresser a lick of paint for color pops in a neutral space.
Summary
A revamp of part of a room, such as the shower area of a bathroom, requires simple material swaps, like new tiles, to transform the space. You can also make some seasonal décor swaps if you are getting bored, and walls can benefit from removable wallpaper and paneling.
