12 Quick Interior Decorating Guidelines To Add Some Style To Your Home

If you don’t have the time or the funds for a complete home renovation, here are 12 quick interior decorating ideas to add a little excitement and style to your home:

1. Wallpaper borders: You don’t have to paint or fully cover walls to add a bit more interest. Try wallpaper borders. They come in all kinds of colors, patterns and shapes.

2. Add an Area Rug: Even if you already have a carpeted space, it is possible to add a brightly colored or uniquely patterned rug for a different look. You can place them at floor level, mid- level or up at the ceiling. Get creative!

3. Put Valances on the Window: A window valance is merely a small decorative curtain. It’s much shorter and it’s only function is to look pretty on a bare window or a window with blinds.

4. Keep Your Home Organized: Okay, that doesn’t actually sound like a decorating tip, but the more organized and uncluttered your home is, the better it will look and the more comfortable it will look.

5. Try Different Ceiling Lighting or a New Lamp: It’s astonishing what a difference lighting can make in a condo. Update your look with some new lighting.

6. Add Color: There are so many ways to add color to your home. You can do it with towels, throw pillows, table skirts, folding screens, fresh bedsheets and more.

7. Paint Your Cabinets: Not ready for new cabinets? If you have wooden cabinets, it is possible to easily paint them with acrylic paint made for wood.

8. Decorate Your Walls: Add paintings, framed photos, art-work, candle sconces or whatever suits your fancy.

9. Add New Decorative Light Switch Covers: Forget about simple and boring white or beige light covers. Add a lot of excitement to the home.

10. Add Cushions to Your Chair: Not only will it create a fresh look for your chairs, but it could cover up some of those scratches that build over time.

11. Switch Your Door Handles: Door handles aren’t too difficult to replace and come in a variety of styles and color choices.

12. Add Candles, Vases or other Centerpieces to Your Tables: You can try pillar candles in a range of sizes placed on a decorative plate, a brightly colored vase with fresh flowers or some other distinctive centerpiece to add beauty to any area.

Not all room makeovers require a contractor and thousands of dollars. If you have a bit of time this weekend, now’s the perfect time to get started with these wonderful decorating tips.
