1. Rearrange Your Furniture (it's FREE): Start with the biggest piece toward a focal point, such as a fireplace or window. Or angle a sofa, chair or bed that's currently hugging a wall. If you don't like how it turns out, try it again!
2. Paint Your Front Door: A warm color at the entrance of your home makes it seem more welcoming. Just pick a fun color, get a quart of Glidden exterior paint...you can transform your home in an afternoon. Learn more about color choices and tips at www.glidden.com
3. Ungroup Matched Sets: Identical end tables, nightstands and lamps can make your home feel like a furniture store. Swap out one of the pair with something in another room.
4. Add a Folding Screen: Not only does a screen add visual interest, it helps define open rooms and hide excess clutter.
5. Dress Up Your Drawers: Replace ho-hum cabinet pulls with colorful artsy knobs that coordinate with the rest of your room's decor.
6. Warm Up Your Walls: Give your white walls an instant glow with a coat of neutral beige paint. It won't overwhelm you with color or compete with brightly colored furnishings. Glidden Paint has a great online room visualizer where you can actually select a color and put it on the wall. Check it out here: www.glidden.com/color/color-visualizer.do
7. Rethink Your Accessories: Create a whole new look - with home decor you already have! Just gather your accessories in a room, then try items in new spaces.
8. Use a Big Basket: It's perfect for collecting shoes and magazines...plus, if you love it, you can keep it out in the open for the world to see.
9. Get a Big Look From Small Pieces: Gather different sizes and shapes of paintings, plates, and mirrors to make a collage perfect for hanging above your sofa.
10. Fall for Pricy Fabric - Guilt-Free: Just pick up a yard - it's all you need to whip up your pillows or a tablerunner that's guaranteed to make a bold splash in any room!
