Are your fixtures dated? You can reinvent your space by giving them a fresh coat of paint or replacing them if you want to go for a different look. Even your old kitchen cabinets can be transformed with a fresh coat of paint and changing the handles and knobs.

Fill Spaces with Plants

It sounds so simple but its true! Adding a few living plants to a room can make it feel more finished and homey. We recommend using low maintenance plants like succulents if you don’t have the greenest of thumbs. If you can successfully keep your succulent alive try something a little larger!

Use a Tray on Your Coffee Table

Trays are a great way to contain the clutter and keep your coffee table looking polished and organized. Placing everything on the tray allows you to easily pick everything up when you want to clean the table or need the extra space!
