#2: Swap out Your Pillows and Throw Blankets

It’s easy for the eye to get used to looking at the same exact thing… and that goes for the pillows and throw blankets in your living room. Switch things up by adding new pillows and throws to your space that feels fresh and feels like you! We love trying out new colors that are different that what you’d typically buy, or add in a fun print that will liven things up. New colors, textures, prints, and more will give your home an updated feeling that is different from the norm. Plus, you can find pillows and throws at affordable prices so your home refresh doesn’t have to break the bank. 

#3: Add New Lighting

Good lighting can truly bring a room to life. If your home feels a little dark and cramped, try bringing in some airiness with new lighting! This doesn’t mean you have to completely redo the lighting in your home, it can simply mean adding new table lamps and floor lamps to your space. The key is to place lamps in darker corners and areas of your home to brighten things up and make everything come to life. Ambient lighting is also important– in the evening flick on a standing lamp that makes the room feel cozy, light some candles, and feel the vibe of your home completely transform.
