HOW TO ADD SOME DEOCRATOR FLAIR TO YOUR HOME

One of the easiet ways is to change the cushions on your chairs or couches in your living room.  Find a cushion that combines your basic colour palette, with one or two new colours - step out of the box. Lime green or red are colours that go with many rooms, if paired with your basic colour, whether it's tan, black, blue.  And they offer some instant pizzazz to your room.  Then look for other accessories that mirror that colour, such as vases, candles, rugs, flowers etc.  Add at least 3-4 other items to highlight your 'new' colour and voila - instant decorating!

Arrange your new accessories in interesting and creative ways - raid your china cabinet or cupboards to find intersting pieces that you can use in new ways. Perhaps that silver vase or wine decanter would hold an attractive fern frond. Perhaps bring in some sea shells or stacked books to add to your coffee table. It also means putting away many of your previously enjoyed items, recycle or perhaps use in other rooms.  You might also consider having seasonal decorating accessories, that you change once or twice a year.  It is an inexpensive way to change up your home without breaking the bank.

I use many items already in a home owner's living room when I stage a home For Sale but then add several new items too.  Often simply rearranging items can give a tired room a new life, as well as decluttering unnecessary or outdated accessories, like that dried flower arrangement. Less is more!!
