15 Minute Room Transformation
Every person on the planet does this - you have someone coming to visit your home and you feel a little panic because either your home is a mess or it doesn’t feel polished or modern. If you’re like I used to be, you rush out to shop for accessories or a small piece of cheap furniture. You get it all home…. only to find that hours later that it doesn’t have that Wow that you wanted.
But here I am to the Rescue with Tips to turn it around in 15 Minutes. That’s right, Don’t Buy Anything. Not One Thing. Instead try these steps:
Move your furniture around. I know! Life changing! It will change up the energy in the room and feel so different. If you can’t make big changes, just change the angle of a chair or move it to the other side of the room. Move the sofa away from the wall just 15cm.
Interesting Details: one thing about Great Rooms is they are interesting. Layer in items to your room- for example, if you have a candle, find a pretty saucer or dish to place it on top of. If you have a good book or interesting magazine, place it out where it will catch the eye. Bring in a nice piece of pottery from the kitchen and place pens in it. Old perfume bottle? Top it up with water for a delicious room spray.
Dig out some photographs, find two or three that make you smile and just prop them up somewhere- on a mantle, against a lamp or stack of books. They will lift your spirits when you see them and are a great conversation starter when people visit.
Just remember, Good Design takes time. So if it’s an elegant and considered room you are after, take your time and ask for help if needed!
