Cabin fever taking its toll on you? Give your home a much-needed makeover with these creative ideas. Whether you want minor adjustments, a customized touch, or drastic changes, here are our top ideas for refreshing your space.
1. Pay attention to the details: Transform any room by bringing in small details that have a big impact. Accessories like throws, cushions, and wall art make a huge difference. Scatter these throughout your home for a cohesive look, and bring in texture for an extra layer of intrigue.
2. Rearrange Your Furniture: Rearranging your furniture will help you find the best layout for the space. Start by shifting the furniture from room to room; you’d be surprised at how even the slightest adjustments can bring a whole new energy to the area.
3. Refresh Your Palette: Introduce brighter, lighter colors to freshen up your space while creating a relaxed atmosphere. Pale pastels are great for giving a room a more airy feeling without being too overwhelming. If you’re still looking for a brighter palette, include a few accent colors to kick up the mood and keep things interesting.
4. Update Your Window Treatments: Update your window treatments to create more light and add a stylistic touch. Freshly laundered curtains are an inexpensive way to make a bold statement while suppressing natural light. Roll up shades also look great in rooms that focus on a minimalist aesthetic.
5. Bring in Live and Faux Plants: Liven up any room with live and faux plants. Live plants will turn any space into a natural oasis while faux plants add a touch of elegance and realism. You can even place these plants around your furniture for a unique lit touch.
6. Add a Rug: Add a bold, textured rug as a great way to bring in texture and style. Throw rugs and oversized rugs are great for living rooms and bedrooms. Consider a high-low pile rug for a unique touch and to create a softer place to walk.
7. Rearrange Your Bookshelves: Make a statement by rearranging your bookshelf. Consider varying the heights and stacking books for a more color-coordinated and organized look. If you’re looking for more of a pieced together look, incorporate artwork, vases, and frames with your books.

Or if you’re looking for a romantic feel, try a light floral pattern for a delicate touch. From florals to abstract prints, wallpapers are a great way to add a splash of color to your walls.
Second to wallpapers, adding some wall art is the perfect way to brighten a home. You can choose from art prints, murals, and even statement pieces for your walls. Whether you’re looking for subtle and vintage art or an art form that speaks to you, wall art is an easy way to make a dramatic impact on the atmosphere of your home.
If you’re looking to add interest to your ceilings, a patterned wallpaper can easily do that. You can find a myriad of styles, like geometric prints, vintage floral, or even a blooming garden mural. Or you can opt for a soft pastel hue for a more subtle look and allow the beautiful artwork to take center stage.
