If you are looking for ways to spruce up your home and give it that extra touch, Pinterest is there for you! Whether you are looking to make a statement or add a bit of color, these next 10 steps will help your home feel refreshed.
- 1. Reclaimed wood on the walls. Looking for help for an accent wall in your bedroom? Weathered wood is the hot commodity right now! The herringbone pattern is timeless and creates a dream land for the bedroom.
- 2. Say what you want with a sign. Whether it states your name or is just a fun sign to hang up, vintage-looking signs are a sure way to add some character to your home. To up your Pinterest game, make the sign yourself! Or go thrifting at an estate sale, auction, or antique store.
- 3. Get creative with chalk. Chalkboard paint has been on the up-and-up for awhile now and shows no signs of slowing down. It is an easy and fun project to complete and doesn’t take very long to do. You can paint a tabletop, a gardening pot, a wall or even your backsplash!
- 4. Organize and decorate with a tray. Do you feel like your decorations are everywhere? Try turning a tray into a corral for all of your knick-knacks. Not only is this a great statement piece but it also serves a very functional need!
- 5. Use paint as a focal point. A fun way to innovate your use of paint is to forego a carpet runner and paint your own design! Everyone will be asking how you did it!
- 6. Look up to the lighting. For a finishing touch make sure to find a dramatic light fixture to become the feature of your room. This is an easy way to play with textures and styles while still remaining simple.
- 7. Wallpaper is back, and in a big way! It’s not the floral explosion from your grandma’s yesteryears, but more of a bright or bold look. Papering all four walls still may be too much so people are experimenting with a feature wall which makes it easier and less overwhelming.
- 8. Color is back! Grey and beige have been saturating our color palettes but no more. Designers love a pop of color but in tasteful tones. Focus on using three choices for your main color for each room.
- 9. Stage your bookshelves. It’s time for your bookshelves to be brought to life! Paint the backdrop a fun color, or use wallpaper as the base. Then start mixing in old and new, antiques and newly bought to create a rounded look.
- 10. “Nail” an updated look. if you are looking for an easy furniture update, look no farther than a nailhead trim. This easy process gives your furniture a timeless finishing touch and a traditional twist in our modern time.
