The Top 7 Easy Changes!

Solutions so simple, you’ll wonder why it’s taking you so long to do these simple home decorating quick changes.  They’ll make a wonderful world of difference to your home.


1.  Replace old-fashioned or generic doorknobs with handles that are more interesting or fashionable.  Keep all the finishes, colors and styles consistent for a more unified look. This change is quick, easy and cost effective- but makes a big difference. Try it.


2.  Put some green in your indoor color scheme.  Place a potted plant or orchid in the hallway, walkway, entryway or even neatly on the dining room table.  These plants can be found pretty cheap, under $20.00 each at many of the home improvement stores.


3.  Make over your favorite old armchair by covering it with an easy and inexpensive slipcover. Take an old favorite and make it new again.  


4.  Use patterned wallpaper in a different way. How about the interior of a bookcase, armoire, or the insides of kitchen cabinets for a subtle yet striking surprise? Especially is you have glass doors- make it unique with cool, hip, or even retro designs that are available.


5. Like an old-world look?  Add a stained glass look and feel to your windows by using translucent film and adhere it to your windows, which make the patterns visible from both sides.  You can find this film at many of the home improvement stores and online at a fraction of the cost of stained glass windows. 

6.  Add a little panache to your bathroom with new updated faucets, towel bars, hooks, and even a toilet paper holder. Keep the style and finish the same and make your bathroom new again with some new shiny new apparatuses.


7.  Replace all your incandescent light bulbs for the new long lasting CFL bulbs.  They last a long time, help conserve energy costs. That is a change we can all believe it.
