If you’ve been in your home for a while, you’re probably ready for a refresh. Or, perhaps you have a lingering trouble spot where “there’s just something missing.” Maybe you just want a few fresh ideas to welcome in spring.
Local expert interior designer Julia Bender to the rescue! We captured Julia’s top tips for instantly elevating a variety of rooms — without breaking your budget.
EASY SPACE UPDATERS
A Whole New Light
Different levels of lighting — layered lighting including both decorative and functional sources — can really change the way you see the room.
Pillow Talk
“You’d be amazed how important pillows are! They can add a pop of color or texture, and be switched out easily throughout the year. Pillows are tiny but pack a big punch!”
“Jewelry for the Outfit”
AKA, accessories and artwork. “Many people miss this step, but adding either meaningful pieces of art (think family photos) or accessorizing with plants or other decorative items will make your home feel more finished and comfortable.”
Windows of Opportunity
Your home likely has several! Adding a thoughtfully chosen, designer-inspired window treatment softens the window structure, creates visual warmth and comfort, and adds a focal point to the room.
Quick Brush-Up
“Adding a splash of color, texture, or pattern using paint or wallpaper instantly makes a huge difference.” Paint for walls, cabinets, and furniture; wallpaper behind bookshelves or even as a fun touch in the laundry room.
Crowning Touch
Well worth the little extra effort, adding architectural details like crown molding, chair rail, or wainscoting can quickly transform a space from everyday to elevated.
