Update Your Lighting
Start with the natural light source such as doors and windows. Use the natural light to your advantage. Remove any heavy curtains or dark drapes and use lighter colors for curtains instead.

Swapping the lighting of any room can bring about a huge change to the look, feel, and style of the room. Soft white bulbs and a dimmer can have a huge impact. This change is quick, cheap, and easy to achieve as well.
Keep the functionality of the lighting and for what purpose you need it in mind before making any decisions about lighting choices. You can use Mood Lighting to set the mood in the bedroom. A dimmer switch works wonders in this scenario.
Bring In Rugs
Rugs can be expensive but can completely transform a room. You can find a previously owned rug to stay within your budget and be environmentally conscious.
Area rugs are just another way to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, patterns, and shapes. Area rugs are instrumental in tying your home décor together.
The right selection of rugs can add some life to a basic room.
Exhibit Artwork
