Interior Design Ideas�How to Spice Up Your Living Space
By Matt Murren
I know…I know…you’ve just finished watching that home design show on HGTV. Now you want to redesign your house as well. The good news is that even if you don’t have a lot of money or a consultant, there are some very simple things you can do to make your home feel brand new. In this guide to inexpensive interior design ideas, we’ll explore some quick and affordable tips to giving your living space a face lift. Don’t Throw Out the Old Furniture…Paint It! Paint is inexpensive, and the color choices are endless. Of course you might not want to paint that old cabinet a neon orange! But there’s also no rule that says you have to stick to neutral colors, like black, antique white, and tan. If you’re feeling bold, you can try a sage green or deep red. Or perhaps you’re looking for something more tranquil, like various blues, greens, and yellows. And while you’re at it, save some paint for the walls, too. Glass Is Fragile, But It Can Be Quite Stunning This may not be the best idea if you have small, rambunctious children. But if you don’t have to worry about things getting broken easily in your house, adding some glass is a great idea. Head down to the discount store for an inexpensive, yet trendy glass lamp. You can even find places where you can take an old vase and have it converted over to a lamp. If you want something with more pizzazz, you can purchase some artistic imported glass fixtures. Other ways of using glass to add décor to your home include French doors, window treatments in the bedrooms, and changing out some of those kitchen cabinet fronts with decorative glass insets. In Short…Keep it Simple and Spacious You don’t’ have to go all out to design a home. Keeping things simple and spacious can make a big difference. When choosing a window treatment, you don’t have go get a bulky curtain that you can’t even see through. Try an elegant, see-through curtain such lightweight Roman shades. Also consider the fact that less can sometimes mean more. If you remove some of the knick-knacks and anything that could be considered cluttered, it will open up your rooms and make it seem larger. Plenty of good interior design ideas simply rely on rearranging the things you already have.
