New Year's Room-a-lutions!
With a brand new year just around the corner, you might be thinking of changing some of the elements in your room.
Depending on your room, you might make a number of different resolutions. One good thing you might resolve to do no matter what your goals are for changing your room might be to get rid of the clutter. Simply put things up out of the room, if an object is out and you haven't used it recently or it's something you don't use often, put it up. Adding a functional piece of furniture for
storage is also good like a
console table or even another
bookshelf - both can do dual duty of holding a number of objects and reducing clutter while adding to the elegance of your room.
If your goal is to make your room cozier, add warm elements such as soft lighting, candle chandeliers or even candle trees are marvelous for adding a soft glow to a room. A
hanging lamp is also a way to add light without flooding the room. Adjustable lights give you the ultimate in control of the mood, lower for more intimate settings and turn the lights up for a less formal feel in the room.
Window treatments can do with a makeover too. Bring light fabrics into rooms you want to let more natural light into and if you have a room that gets cold in the winter and suffers from too much sun/heat in the summer - invest in some heavy insulated draperies that will keep the cold and heat out depending on the season. These draperies usually come in basic colors and are a snap to match to your interior color scheme.
Your fabrics can change the mood of your room. Linens project a light and airy feel while fabrics such as velvet bring a cozy feel. Many people change the
pillows on their sofa to match the season. Lighter fabrics in the spring and summer and darker, heavier fabrics in the fall and winter.
No matter what your goal is for this year in your decor, use these simple tips and you will be on your way to achieving the look and feel you want for your room with just a minimum of effort.
