Let’s find out how we can get started using the quick guide below.
Painting the Walls
Painting the walls is one of the easiest ways to instantly transform the room. This may not be an option however if you are on rent. Painting the walls can quickly add a visual interest and freshen up the room. Pick a colour that is quite different from the one that has already been there and chooses a colour that complements your personal style and fits in with the space. Consider a yellow shade or bright green if you are a bubbly personality and want to have colour around you to brighten up the area. Shades of blue or grey depict a more calm and collected nature and bring a peaceful vibe to the space. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colours of paint after all they are not permanent and you can always change it if you don’t like it.

Styling the Windows
The features that are most often underused are the windows of a room. It is a great styling tool that can bring about a lot of character into the room with the use of curtains, blinds or some kind of shade depending on the location of the windows. For example, patio shades can be used for patios or windows that open to the outdoor deck. You can add curtains to suit the room, for example a bright coloured curtain for a bedroom and a darker shade for a quiet study room.
Using Decorative Storage
Whether you are an organized person or a bit of a hoarder, a house will definitely have a variety of stuff that needs to be kept in storage. Instead of trying to hide all of these items at the back of a closet or under the bed, try adding some decorative storage units. Some incredible ways of adding some classic style to a room are to use ottomans for example, with hollow centres where you can store books, ornaments or any items that are not in use often. When using storage units that can be used as decorative items then you get to use it practically for storing as well as styling the room. In addition, you can hang the walls with artwork, wall hangings and paintings to give empty spaces a bit of personality and will entice guests who come by with what your personal styles are.
