A very common question for a designer to field is, “How do I cheer up a room and make it over with the minimal amount of work and expense?” Ah… now that is a great question. Luckily, there are some great answers.
1. Let’s say you have a room that is carpeted. We all know that carpet can be very expensive and must be a long lasting investment in our homes. Yet the same old floor from season to season can become drab and very boring. So here are some tips you might find interesting.
Placing accent rugs on carpet is totally in style. It is often thought that rugs are for tile or wood only, which is not the case at all! Adding accent rugs in the bath or bedroom is a very easy and inexpensive way to brighten a dull room.
Coordinate your rug colors with existing colors in the room. For example, pull the color from window treatments, chair pads, comforters and bedspreads.
This will tie your space together and add that “umph” we are all seeking.
2. Now let’s makeover the kitchen in a jiffy on a tight budget.
Chair pads come in so many wonderful styles and colors nowadays! They are one of the least expensive room accessories we can use. Yet they add brilliance to a space.
Perhaps you already have a unique theme. Well, I am so happy to say that there are many kitchen items that match nowadays from your wall clock to your rugs, canisters, and bread box. WOW!
How far you’ll take this inexpensive kitchen face-lift is up to you!
Great Accessories Can Add Style to the Kitchen
No painting…no remodeling…just a bit of fun and clever shopping on your part.
Just remember that small additions bring about big changes. This ultimately leaves you, the consumer, with change to spare!
Decorating has never been easier or more affordable!
Happy decorating…
How Kitchen Curtains Can Accessorize Your Kitchen
Splashes of color, unique designs, and novelty themes are often found among kitchen decor. Kitchen curtains easily offer a practical way to add personality to a room that is more often viewed for its function than its appeal.
Coc a Doodle Kitchen Curtains
Whether you’re looking for decorative kitchen curtains or for window curtains that will accurately direct sunlight into your kitchen, there are a plethora of options & styles to choose from. Once the curtains have been properly hung, the size of the window will determine how much sunlight reflects throughout your kitchen. This will then help to shape the atmosphere within the designated space. Additionally, fabrics such as cotton and polyester will ensure that the kitchen curtains filter light & air more easily.
If you’re looking for a simple kitchen accessory, then solid-colored window curtains might satisfy your taste. In order to use your kitchen curtains as a dominant focal point within your kitchen,
consider something with a more thematic pattern like roosters, fruits, or a wine bottle print.

Great, Unique Pieces Make Kitchen Memories
Preparing for the New Year
As a part of New Year’s tradition, we all must come to grips with reality. This is often acknowledged by making many resolutions. Whether you’re striving to become happier, make more money, do more for your community, or be involved in general, you’ll swear by this vow for likely a week until it has lost its novelty.
Why not begin by setting tangible and measurable goals? Goal-setting does not need to wait until the new year. If you begin preparing & planning now, then you’ll be able to take action once the ball drops. Perhaps begin by considering some DIY home improvement projects. These often get lost in the shuffle because of higher priority commitments like family & work. Because these projects are often viewed simply as “something else to add to the list”, or as inconceivable processes, they become an inconvenience rather than achievable task. Home decorating can not only be fun & creative, but it can also positively impact the look and feel of your home.
A New Shower Curtain Can Change the Feel of Your Bathroom
Start simple, tackle the bathroom. Creating a warm & inviting ambiance within one of the more highly-trafficked rooms in the home can go a long way. Bathroom sets or bath in a bag options make decorating this space extremely easy. Simply choose a pattern and color scheme that you like, and voila, you’ve got everything from the shower curtain to rugs to a variety of matching accents and accessories.
Feel like making a bigger change? Seek out that comforter set and bedding that you know would flawlessly transition your ordinary bedroom into a much needed sanctuary. If you dread entering a room that is supposed to guarantee comfort and solace, then it can greatly impact your daily outlook. Give yourself that safe-haven that you deserve.
And what about the kitchen? Viewing this area as an artistic space rather than an area filled with household chores can do wonders for your attitude. Allow it to be a place where you can express your inner creativity. Dress it up with country themed curtains, a matching tablecloth, and a variety of unique accents from breadboxes to coffee mug trees, potholders, oven mitts and much more.
These are just a few ideas to help trigger your goal-setting & home decorating mood. Feel free to share any other suggestions that you may have in regard to how to successfully set & achieve goals.
Happy Planning!
