Expert Tip: Simple Upgrades for a Big Impact
A home can be elegantly decorated with cost effective materials—perhaps even things you already have around the house. Here are some ways you can add a chic touch to your home with subtle changes.
A Chef’s Kitchen
Your new hand-crafted cast stone range hood is nothing short of exquisite, but now you want the rest of your kitchen to be up to par. Whether your design style is contemporary or classic, one thing stands true: your kitchen is the heart of your home. From monochromatic to bright and cheerful, you can make for an inviting space with some strategic décor. Into black and white? Consider incorporating it along the counter or adding a serving tray with monochromatic décor onto your island. If you prefer color, apply some fresh paint on your kitchen cabinets or decorate the backs of kitchen shelves with attractive wall paper.
Living Room Inspiration
Truly inviting living rooms are first and foremost, clean. They are pulled together and a color palette of two to four colors makes for an appealing room. Pull furniture from around the house or add a new slipcover to your sofa for a quick and simple upgrade. Accent room anchors like sofas or cigar chairs with bright colors or stick to subtle and pastel colors to tie the room together.
Subtle changes that make a big impact include curtains, moldings, rails and wall coverings. These can add elegance to any room with minimal effort!
