Could your home stand with a little “sprucing up?” Decorating the rooms in your house allows a lot of your personality to come out. It’s also a chance to make over a space without having to re-furnish that room. Here are some smart and affordable decorating ideas you could put into action today.

Use Trays

There many decorative trays that can be used on your coffee table to corral items like TV remotes and magazines. The same trays can be used to put liquor bottles, glasses and other bar items. They don’t have to be practical as much as they just need to look good. The type of tray can reflect the color scheme in your living room but consider dark wood tones or wicker.

Hang your kid’s artwork

It seems as though every day your kid is bringing home a new “masterpiece.” Most of that artwork is affixed to the refrigerator with a magnet until it is cycled out. Why not treat those pieces like actual art by putting them in the frames with colorful mats? You can hang them into an empty space on the wall. They’re always so bright and meaningful.

Remove Upper Cabinet Doors

In the kitchen, you could try removing upper cabinet doors where you keep your plates and glasses. You can then arrange them with unique racks. Any miscellaneous items that you have can be put into wicker baskets. As an added benefit, no one would ever have to ask where to find a glass again!

Paint the Lampshades

Try swapping out your lampshades with a paper shade that you painted in a bold color like red, green or blue. You could even swap out the lampshades depending upon your mood. Painted lampshades mute light for a softer feeling.

Refresh the Bathroom and Bedroom

You can refresh your bathroom and bedroom in very subtle ways. For instance, swap out the shower curtain and add fragrant candles in the bathroom. Keep the counters clear of everything except your essentials. In the bedroom, look for new sheets that are hotel style with a colored border. It’s a very classic look.
