One of the easiest ways to freshen up a room is to try rearranging a few items in your home. It’s amazing how small changes in your home, like moving furniture around or changing pictures on the wall, can transform your space. Redecorating is an easy update to your home at no cost and can make it feel new!

Organize bins and baskets

I love a good organizational basket plan. It’s important to make your space both functional and beautiful. When you enter a room, you don’t want to feel cluttered or uneasy, and organizational systems like baskets and bins are a great way to achieve a calmer, balanced space.

We use baskets for everything in our home, from storage for hats and gloves to storage for playroom toys to storage for bathroom supplies. Choose a set of baskets that match your room, we love neutral colors, and use them to organize clutter in each space.

Target is great for baskets and bins. we love This set is for our living roombut there are so many styles to choose from, so choose the size and color that suits you.

lamps

Having a fun new light in a room is a great way to freshen up your home. Make sure the lamp is the right size for the table and space, and in a color that complements the rest of your room’s decor. Sometimes the overhead lights are too bright, and the lights can be so nice and soft, especially during these dark winter months! Create beautiful mood lighting in your living space with soft yellow bulbs.jess loves her Montreal Wren Table Lamp。 They are the perfect size for side tables and end tables.this Target’s Project 62 series There are also pieces that are both modern and functional.

update your bedding

We spend almost half of our lives in bed, yet this is often where we give the least love and attention when it comes to renewal.

Curtains are also a fun decorative addition that can freshen up your home. You can stick to neutrals like cream or beige, or try something bold like navy or a fun pattern. This could be just what your space needs to feel more alive! !

Blankets & Throws

We simply cannot do without blankets and blankets during the cold winter months. They bring so much warmth and comfort every night when we snuggle up to watch a show or a movie. It’s important to have blankets and blankets that make you feel extra cozy and warm, and that also look great folded up on the couch or in a hamper. Decide which type of blanket you like best – what weight do you like? What material feels good on your body? Then choose some pretty patterns or shades to match your sofa. Blankets and throws are an investment you’ll use day in and day out.jess loves her W Because they’re comfortable, come in beautiful prints and colors, and are pet-friendly.

Target also has some really cute throw pillows, especially A block-print waist silhouette.

Framed artwork and photos

Adding a beautiful painting or framed photo can bring so much life to our interior spaces. Maybe you have a family photo shoot that you’ve been wanting to order framed from – pick three and hang them on a wall in your home.

Another idea is to create a gallery wall with a mix of framed artwork of different sizes and shapes. Bring life to your home with natural elements such as plants, flowers, animals and landscapes. Jess has a beautiful gallery wall at home that you can use for inspiration.

Maybe you have a favorite local artist that you’ve been dying to buy a piece from. Find a space in your home that needs some art, and choose yours. Choose artwork that puts a smile on your face and makes you feel calm and happy.Some of our favorite local artists are JJ Overstreet (a close friend of ours!), William B. Hoyt and Katie O’Hara. Or support local artists in your area!

dried flowers and vases

Having fresh or dried flowers in the home can bring such a wonderful feeling of life, love and joy. I’ve always loved dried lavender for its calming scent, which is especially nice in the kitchen or bathroom. Use a favorite vase or buy a new one and fill it with your favorite bouquet of tulips or dried flowers. Sometimes it’s a beautiful decoration over the sink or on the kitchen table. It’s amazing how a few flowers can change your state of mind!It’s just like This tree trunk vase and bouquet set is from Farmhouse Pottery Looks beautiful in any home!

candles and incense

Candles and incense are another easy and affordable way to add an enchanting aroma and a warm feeling to your home. I love stocking up on candles of all kinds, especially during the winter months. I light them up in the morning when I’m practicing yoga or working at my desk during the day, and at night when I’m having dinner, reading, or watching TV. This is such a relaxing exercise that always brings me comfort and joy.candles from Brooklyn Candle Studio is the favorite! ferns and moss A wonderful scent for any time of year.
