Clever Ways To Restyle
Feeling stuck in your current space? You’ve grown accustomed to its layout, decor, and overall aesthetic. But what if you’re yearning for a change of pace without committing to an entire overhaul? We’ll explore innovative approaches to revamping your living space without breaking the bank.
Do the Shuffle
Rearranging furniture is one of my favorite ways to give my room a fresh new look without breaking the bank! I’m always experimenting with different layouts, and I think it’s a great way to restyle your home without committing to new purchases. The best part? You can try out a new layout as many times as you want until it feels just right, and if you get bored again later, you can simply shuffle things around once more.
For those who love planning ahead or prefer to visualize their space before making any big changes, I highly recommend my step-by-step decorating workbook. This valuable resource allows you to create a layout of your room on graph paper, enabling you to carefully plan and prepare before lifting a single chair or couch. By doing so, you’ll not only save yourself from unnecessary strain but also ensure that your new layout is exactly what you envisioned.

Cover It Up! – With Mamma Mia Covers
I recently purchased a recliner chair cover from Mamma Mia Covers, and I’m thoroughly impressed. This brand excels at transforming worn-out furniture into like-new pieces without breaking the bank. Not only do they offer covers for a wide range of items, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, and more, but they also allow you to change your style completely without committing to entirely new furniture.
I opted for the vanilla color cover from their velvet collection, and it’s been a game-changer. The versatility of these covers is undeniable, and I appreciate that they provide Afterpay options to make payments more manageable. To sweeten the deal, Mamma Mia Covers kindly offered me a discount code – RAE20OFF – which I highly recommend using. Check out their website to explore the various cover options and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

New Paint, Who’s this?
The transformative power of paint colors is often overlooked, despite being an accessible and simple solution. With so many options available, it’s easy to overlook this key aspect in the grand scheme of interior design. Take my personal experience for instance – I recently teamed up with my mom to give my living room a fresh new look by transforming it from a brown-grey hue to a warm, creamy white.
The result was nothing short of remarkable: the newly painted space suddenly felt brighter, airier, and altogether more inviting.
BEFORE
AFTER
While it’s not always necessary to transition from a darker color to a lighter one, there are instances where painting a lighter room with a warmer or fun color can be a great way to add coziness and revitalize the space. This approach can breathe new life into an area that may have felt dull or uninspiring, making it perfect for those who want to give their decor a fresh spin.
Pillows and Throws Galore
Transforming your space with pillows and throws is an effortless way to give your room a fresh update. To achieve a seasonal look, I like to keep a selection of new pillows that reflect the current time of year or upcoming holiday. A few statement blanket colors in complementary hues can also add a pop of color, whether you’re going for a fall-inspired cozy feel or a springtime revival.
This simple yet effective trick can completely revamp your room’s aesthetic without requiring a major overhaul. Even scouring thrift stores for affordable pillows that match the season can yield impressive results, turning a basic space into a cleverly restyled haven.
Green Thumb
I’ve reached a new level of plant enthusiasm – I’m officially a crazy PLANT lady! It’s no surprise, given my numerous blog posts on the subject. But let me assure you, plants are truly remarkable for home decor. Not only do they bring life and fresh air to your space, but many varieties also have natural air-purifying properties. For instance, ivy, spider plants, and aloe vera are just a few examples of plants that can help cleanse the air in your home.
This means incorporating these greens into your decor can even contribute to healthier living – albeit in small but significant ways. As Country Living notes, there are many more plant species perfect for this purpose.
Switch It, Switch It Good
One often-overlooked yet effective way to refresh the look of your room is to give your light switch covers and outlets a makeover. Not only is this a budget-friendly endeavor, but it also offers an astonishing array of possibilities for customization. From sleek and modern to rustic and vintage, there’s a style to suit every taste. Here are some options to consider:
Swap and Swap Again
Think outside the box (or room) by incorporating furniture from other areas to revamp your space. It’s easy to swap pieces between rooms, and this creative approach can breathe new life into a stale atmosphere. Don’t be afraid to get adventurous and rethink the traditional notion that furniture must remain in its designated zone forever. Take the initiative to mix things up and give your home a fresh makeover. I’d love to see what you create using these ideas!
