5 Fast & Furious Decor Fixes for Your Home!

Put the junk in the trunk! No matter what you call it, junk or clutter, has no place in your space. Aren’t you tired of tripping over things or opening a closet only to have a bunch of junk drop right down on your head? Put the junk in the trunk once and for all! Throw unwanted or damaged items in the trash. Reserve other unwanted items in good condition to donate to charity.

Get squeaky clean! There is no point in revamping your space unless it is absolutely squeaky clean. That means get out your white gloves and start dusting! And you might want to vacuum, mop, scrub and polish too! Start at the top and work your way down. Clean all the light fixtures and the tops of high furniture, like a cupboard or bookshelf, then move to the lower furniture and polish away. Once all the dust has settled on the floor all you have to do is vacuum it away. Polish all your wood and tile floors to a sparkling shine. Now you’re ready to start decorating!

Lighten up! Now that your space is clean and clutter-free the fun can begin! The new trends in home décor focus on light and airy Earth tones. Lots of greens and pastels keep your space radiant and fresh. Toss out all the curtains, pillows and throws in you spaces that are comprised of dark winter colors. Instead buy light-colored textiles for all the rooms of your home. You will notice an instant change by just making a few simple color changes that will totally open up your space and make it appear larger than it really is!

Flower power! Use the tools of Mother Nature to create an invitingly fresh atmosphere in your space. A large vase full of fresh flowers will add just a glimpse of natural beauty in your space. However, fresh flowers are not always a viable option given the expense and fragility of them. An excellent way to economically add beautiful flowers to your space is to invest in quality handmade silk flower arrangements. Imagine a silk sunflower wreath or an ornate floral swag donning your wall in utter perfection that will make a subtle yet inviting statement in your space.

Finishing touches! You’re almost done! Now all you need are a few finishing touches to pull your space together. Think white candles and some natural stones scattered on tabletops. Imagine some overstuffed pastel-toned pillows and cotton throws lazily scattered on chairs and sofas.

Voila…your space is now as fast and furiously decorated as it can be! Now all you have to do is kick up your heels with an ice-cold glass of lemonade and await all the raves you are going to get from family & friends!
