3 Easy Ways to Revamp Your Living Space

As tempting as it is to update our wardrobes and our homes from season to season, it’s just not all that practical of a habit for any us to get into. Luckily, you don’t really need to buy brand new everything in order to feel like your home’s interior matches the season’s exterior. In fact, we have three simple suggestions that we guarantee will completely change the look, and feel, of your home.

1. Switch out your drapes

  

One of the most dramatic ways to change the face of any given room is in the drapery. Whether you want to keep up with the changing seasons outside or with today’s current trends, this is one sure-fire way to satisfy that craving without very much effort. By switching from dark, heavy textiles, for instance, to lighter, airier ones, your room will suddenly go from curl-up-with-a-book cozy to let-me-get-my-sunglasses-first bright!

Some people may prefer to keep heavier, light-blocking drapes in the warmer months (especially those who work night shifts), but by choosing a lighter colour you can still get the same “brightened” effect when they are opened.

 

2. Switch up your rug

  

Rugs, like drapes, take up a lot of visual space in a room and tend to dictate what else goes on in the room. Rugs and drapes alike sit in the background of everything else we see, pull colours together, compliment design choices, and make a bare space look like home. And so, they are another element that easily transforms a room into something totally different.

Even if you don’t change anything else, not a single potted plant or decorative bird, we promise you that changing your rug is going to make you feel like you’re on vacation – okay, we don’t promise you that, but we do promise that it will feel like a new room.

 

3. Pick and choose your pillows

  

Last, but not least, let’s talk pillows. Much like drapes and rugs, pillows are a big staple piece in any living or bedroom. They won’t do as much good in a kitchen or a bathroom, but for those rooms where lounging is a key word, pillows are essential. They are possibly the most inexpensive way to change a room’s look from season to season, and trend to trend, as pillow covers can be found at such reasonable prices, can be mix-and-matched, and can easily be stored away for later use! This is our go-to room changer.

Guess what! We are experts at cleaning all three! Did you see that coming?

We’ll even come to your home to pickup your pillows and cases and clean your rugs and drapes. It’s really just as easy as calling us.
