 Every year homeowners become restless as we consider new creative ways to bring our home décor to life. How do we get motivated and what ideas can we bring to help upgrade our décor. Interior designers believe that we should stick with what we know. In other words, stay with what makes us and our family feel comfortable. 

Bedroom 

Why not think about simply changing the headboard on the bed. People believe that their headboard must stay in its original state forever. This is not true. There is a myriad of design styles that would amp up the look of your bedding. Perhaps, you can just repaint the existing headboard, especially if the headboard is one solid structure, then apply some appliques like beads to it. A neighbor had a unique idea of covering their bedroom headboard with a decorate fabric and stapled it in place. 

Kitchen 

Consider using cork flooring to replace your vinyl flooring. Modern cork tiles are strong, mildew resistant, and are available in varying colors that enhance the whole kitchen. Cork is easier to maintain and if you have never walked on cork flooring you are in for a treat. Cork gives you bouncy feeling under your feet. 

Also, if you dropped a glass or a plate onto the cork flooring, it will not break. Cork floor files can be purchased in styles that snap together or that has an adhesive backing to save you time and money. In addition, cork tiles easily install on top of your existing flooring or even over concrete. 

Walls 

In any room enhance your walls by adding molding. Molding is easy to install, at least according to YouTube videos who provide a step by step process. Decorative molding trim is available in amazing colors and style décor designs. Modern decorative molding is available to match your current room motif. Molding styles upgrade your living and/or dining room to look like a formal statement. Adding molding going up a staircase wall will have people asking if you have renovated your whole home. 

Rugs

Is it time to change out your room rugs? Affordability is the decorating industry’s new slogan. Adding new floor rugs in a variety of materials is simple, yet elegant as a home décor that brings new life to any room of the house. For a rug décor, consider using patterns that help you think outside the box. Placing a patterned rug in front of a plain colored sofa or couch gives it pizzazz. 

Bathroom 

Oh, there are so many decorating ideas to enhance your bathroom! Start with your lighting fixture. If you have lights strung across the sink on the wall. You can do 2 things – change the color and style of the lightbulbs or go further and change the whole lighting fixture. Visit your local home improvement store and marvel at the variety of affordable lighting fixtures that would glamorize your bathroom or make your bathroom more whimsical. 

While decorating, use wall tiles around the sink to add texture and patterns to your walls. Why not simply change your shower curtains and add decorative shower curtain hooks. Invest in matching towels and voila, your bathroom already looks revised. Use your imagination and have fun with upgrading your decors 

You get the idea now so go have imaginative fun without having to break the bank or your budget. Trust your imagination and add different décor that your family will enjoy. A school teacher friend of mine actually takes the pictures that her children draw and frames them unique frames. She places them on different walls of her home. 

Wow – I bet she has home cred with her kids when she wants them to do their chores! Become creative in the many ways in which you can bring your home’s décor to life. I just thought of something else – change your lampshades to a decorative fabric material – beautiful idea! Try, this and other ideas, I know your family and friends will love it!
