Ten Ways to Quickly Brighten Up Any Room
You can quickly and easily brighten up any room with these ten simple tips. Sometimes you just need a little decorating pick-me-up to give a room and your mood a lift, so give some of these ideas a try any time of the year.
1. Place a brightly colored tablecloth or piece of fabric with a floral, checkered, simple design on top of any size table.
2. Add placemats and simple chair pads to your kitchen or dining room tables and chairs.
3. Remove heavy drapes from the windows and replace them with light and airy sheers and let the wind give them life and movement.
4. Attach easy to install under cabinet lights above the kitchen countertops or inside bookcases for some subtle and romantic mood lighting.
5. Rather than a bowl of fruit, fill large wicker baskets or glass bowls with balls of colorful yarn and place them on the tables.
6. Mix and match a variety of similarly colored framed mirrors of varying shapes and sizes and arrange them in a decorative manner along a wall, down the hallway, or up the stairs.
7. Install individual shelves above doors, windows, or entryways and place long, thin baskets filled with faux-ivy on them.
8. Make your own art by buying artists canvas at a crafts store and painting them yourself with simple geometric shapes and designs in bright, bold colors.
9. Tape off large squares or rectangles on any wall in a random pattern and quickly paint them in with varying shades of the same color to create a sophisticated accent wall.
10. Spray paint old wooden chairs different colors and set them in any room alone or in a group and use them as plants stands.
