Updating a Space Without Spending a Dime
Sometimes I have wanted a new look for my living room but don’t want to spend the money. Or lets be real, I don’t always have the money to spend when I want something new. I’m sure we’ve all been there. So instead of being discouraged about that blah space or lack of funds, do this!
Move the couch or your favorite reading chair to a new spot. Try your lamps in a new corner. Rearrange the room until you love the new set up. You can always put it back!
Walk through the house and pull ALL your decorative items, throw pillows, etc. into the room you want to update.
Shop from your own stuff! Afterall, you bought it because you loved it in the first place. Try your bedroom lamp or a few old books from your library on your mantle, or your faux plants (because I can’t keep a plant alive!) from kitchen on your side table.
Try items in new locations and see how you like it. Keep trying until you find a new look you love.
At the end of the day you can always return everything to it’s original home if you don’t love it, but I think you’ll find this is a free way to give your home a fresh look.
