9 Surprising Ways to Make Your Home More Stylish

Looking for a way to update your home for the summer? We’ve come up with 9 creative ways in which you can add style and instantly transform your home without breaking the bank!

 

Switch Out Your Pillows & Throws

Refresh your living room sofa with some new decorative pillows. Draping a textured throw blanket over the foot of your bed will also add elegance and comfort to your space. Don’t be afraid to mix and match materials and patterns!

 

 

Replace Store-Bought Packaging

Flour bags, coffee cans, and cereal boxes are not the most flattering. Buy some chic containers to display on your kitchen countertop. This is both a functional piece and a pretty accent. You can even contrast your backsplash with a small piece of artwork or a family of wooden cutting boards.

 

Bring Style into Your Life

Is your entryway feeling a little lifeless? Put a fiddle-leaf fig tree in the corner for a warm welcome. Or if you want a real pop of color, arrange a purple giant allium centerpiece on your dining table.

 

De-Clutter with Woven Baskets

Don’t know where to put all your precious catalogs and extra blankets? Store them in some natural woven baskets and stick them under your sofa table for easy access and an overall pleasing design.

 

Create a Statement Wall

Plain painted walls and generic artwork aren’t doing it for you anymore? Try this explosive tend – board and batten. Is covering an entire room with wallpaper to expensive? Create paneled art by framing the wallpaper sections with moulding.

 

 Update Your Hardware

An easy way to keep up with the latest kitchen trends – shop for some brass bin pulls to highlight your cabinets and refresh your overall look!

 

Stack ‘Em High

Select you most attractive hardcover novels and stack them vertically and horizontally to create an elegant bookshelf arrangement. Even the most unattractive book binds can be concealed by simply turning them around! Style your coffee table by accompanying your books with chic accessories.

 

Layer Your Rugs

Wondering how you can add a layer of sophistication to your home? Top your jute rug with a smaller vintage rug to wow your guests and achieve that bohemian-style living room.

 

Buy a Bar Cart

Saving the best for last! If you don’t already have one, a bar cart is perfect for entertaining and an unexpected design feature. Jazz up your cart with artwork, various decanters, florals, books, etc.!
