It’s a new year, new decade—and time for a new look for your space, too.
Can’t afford an interior designer? No worries. Some of the best redecorating schemes can cost as little as an armful of throw pillows and a few selections of wall art.
Words can kill. Some of the cleverest pieces of popular artwork the past few years have been text working as art: funny sayings, quotes and warm thoughts, all tastefully wrought in flowing script, capital letters, stenciled paintings, even 3-D metal cutouts. Express yourself in language that also makes an artistic impression. Now that’s a sight worth coming back to.
Create comfort. And while you’re attending to the walls, don’t forget to add some color-coordinated pillows and blankets to your most-used spaces. Not only do blankets and pillows add physical comfort, but they also can add a whole host of colors to an otherwise blah space. Seasonal, holiday, random fun patterns—you can even swap out zip-up pillowcases that make your current pillows look new. It’s that simple.
