One fairly easy way we have found to give your rooms a face lift is to update your window treatments. Just a few pointers to think about when you are re-decorating:
1. Bring in the light as much as possible - especially in your kitchen. Pleated shades can give a room a new look that previously may have had drapes, and allows plenty of light to come in while still providing some privacy.
2. Do your rooms look a bit drab? Why not add some texture to your windows? Try out bamboo or rattan blinds - they roll up easy and add a different dimension and feel to a room.
3. Is your place looking a bit dated due to heavy drapes or big valances? Less is more now. Use a strip valance or attached a simple upholstered cornice.
4. What colors are currently in your home? You can get a new fresh and updated look by using the "in" colors - which are terra cotta shades mixed with greens, blacks and golds.
5. What size is the space you want to re-do? If it is small, change out the color scheme with cool colors, which can help a room look larger and brighter. If the same is large - use more warm colors to make it feel more cozy and inviting.
6. In a kitchen where due to cabinets and appliances the room can look boxy, try add some different lines, shapes and soft curves. Try a swag over the sink with pleated sides.
