How to Style Your Home | Easy Tips and Tricks

It's sometimes daunting when you have all types of accessories, furniture, cushions and artwork you've collected along the way and can't bear to part with — and absolutely no place to put them.

The best part about redesigning is that you don't need to spend a lot of money to get the look you're trying to achieve. The secret is to be creative and just add a few extra new pieces to complement what you already have.

Embrace What You Have

Sometimes you have to get a different perspective on your furniture to understand exactly how versatile it can become.

All you have to do in some situations to add a little bit of life to an older, darker piece of furniture is to throw a neutral runner on it with some pretty accessories, spruce up the rugs, add some modern art pieces, mirrors and update your colour scheme.

You don't have to throw out everything to start over, and you don't have to paint everything to get the look you want. Sometimes the perfect look can be achieved simply by changing your perspective and the objects around your existing pieces.

Feel free to mix and match, or paint an older trunk or dresser to give it a brand new life — saving your money for other projects.

Start Your Creative Process

The key to being truly creative isn't simply doing away with the old and replacing it with newer, trendier pieces. True creativity is about using what you have and incorporating new styles, textures and finishes.

Don't be afraid to be brave when you're designing. Stretch your creativity in ways you haven't thought about before. Keep it youthful and fun, using new pieces you can purchase affordably to change the style — especially rugs, designer artworks, curtains and coverings.

Sometimes all it takes is relocating your most comfortable furniture to new, inventive places.

Complete Your Style with Repetition

It's important to decide on a design you can carry through room to room — and the key is keeping it simple.

The best way to keep a design simple is by maintaining a neutral palette with your furniture choices. Repeat upholstery tones and general colour schemes, use matching lamps, matching cushions, or frame repetitions to create a specific look.

Repeat fabric combinations or accessories to make something completely unique to you that flows through your home and makes everything look great together.
