Updating your home does NOT have to be a costly exercise. Remember, even the smallest of changes can dramatically improve a space!

Many people are afraid to consider updating their home decor out of fear of going overboard. Following these tips will save you time and money, and will ensure you’re able to stay up-to-date with the latest home styling trends.

1. Re-arrange your living spaces

It might sound simple, but re-arranging the furniture and decor will make a huge difference to your rooms and house overall. Think about the focal point you currently have, and whether it reflects your desired focus for the room. This process may help you decide what you need to buy and what you need to donate, sell, or move to another room.

2. De-clutter

After re-arranging your rooms, take note of things that aren’t serving the space (or your life) anymore. For example, cluttered book shelves could be instead used as a styling feature by adding trinkets and other things to spruce up the space.

3. Create a �vignette’ for each room

Before you buy all new furniture and decor, consider creating a �vignette’ for each room: a curated space in the room that commands attention. Whether it’s a luxe mirror and table at the entrance of your house, or a statement chair in the bedroom, creating a vignette allows you to create a �happy spot’ in the room, without going crazy on your budget or �renovations’. It also makes it easier when you want to re-style in the coming months or years.

4. Little changes for big impact

Updating your wallpaper, paint, door handles, rugs, linen or cushions are small, inexpensive ways to change the look and style of a room. Try and choose pieces that are timeless and quality to avoid replacing them quickly, and ensure they still match the overall theme and style of the room they will be placed in, to avoid further unneccasary style purchases and awkward, out of place decor.
