Are you tired of the look of your home but unable to spend a ton of money for major updates?
Don’t despair. I’ve listed some of my favorite accessories to help you kick it up a notch during the holidays!
• 1. Your fireplace is a focal point. Make it interesting with a beautiful fire screen. The key is to look for a great design that complements your fireplace.
• 2. Is your iron or metal chandelier boring and unattractive? Add some glam with magnetic crystals. You can select from a number of colors cuts and sizes.
• 3. Change out your old area rug with a more up-to-date version for a totally new look in your space.
• 4. Has your table lamp seen better days? If you love your lamp but you’re tired of the same old look, buy a new shade and a finial for a totally new look.
• 5. Is your dining table dull? Kick it up a notch with a new table runner. Or better yet buy a high-end fabric remnant from your favorite fabric store and hem or Stitch Witch the ends.
• 6. Do your drapes need an update? Hot glue fringe or beads to the sides or buy new tiebacks with wonderful chunky tassels.
• 7. Another way to cozy up your space is with fresh greenery or flowers.
