How to Spice up a Room




1) Add some color.

Just adding a 'pop' of color to a room can make a huge difference. This can be achieved through painting a wall an accent color, painting the inside of a bookshelf a contrasting color, adding some colorful throw pillows to a sofa, or placing an intriguing rug on the floor.

2) Splurge on an 'eye catching' piece of furniture.

This could be acheived through using a zebra ottoman, a wildy upholstered chair,
or a funky cocktail table, to name a few examples.

3) Place bold accessories in the space.

Instead of cluttering up a space with small trinket-like accessories use
bold accessories that stand out and make a statement.

4) Hang a mirror(s) on the wall.

Mirrors can make a small space look larger. Look for mirrors that are unique in shape, or have an interesting frame - there are a lot of really cool mirrors out there (we have some in our showroom, come check them out).


5) Update the lighting fixtures.

Consider adding a little 'bling' by hanging a unqiue chandlier instead of your average flush mount lighting fixture or a dull ceiling lamp. Use hanging pendants over a bar or counter instead of recessed lighting. Find a funky table lamp to sit on the end table, instead of that boring lamp found at Wal-Mart for $15.


6) Place a fresh floral arrangement on the cocktail table.


7) Clear away clutter.

Just making a few small adjustments can really add a 'wow' factor to your room.
