ADD SOME FAB
Susan Block
You don’t have to spend a fortune to add fabulousness to your decor. Here are a
few stylishly simple tricks for upgrading your decor.
Bring the Drama
Most of us tend to “play it safe” when decorating. Invest in quality basics in
neutral tones and add boldly colored accents, unique patterns and textures, and
statement-making pieces of furniture to add visual interest to your space.
Personalize Your Space
Every day is a special occasion, so there’s no need to keep family heirlooms
boxed up. Find a way to incorporate the things you love into your living space.
Decorating with things that mean something to you will always put a smile on
your face when you enter the room and give you stories to share with guests.
Add Some Artwork
You don’t have to be an art major or break the bank to find artwork for your
home. Visit flea markets and estate sales. Buy pieces from local artists that
speak to you. And if all else fails, try your hand at creating something new! You
may find a new hobby!
It’s In the Details
Your space should tell your story. Play around as you never know what will work
unless you try something new. Give some thought to everything that you place in
a room, right down to the everyday items to give the space some soul.
