Easy and Affordable Tips for Updating Your Kitchen and Living Room

As summer transitions into fall, many people seek change in their lives, whether it be relocating to a new area, buying a new home or giving your current home design updates. If you’re getting the itch to update your kitchen or living room this season, we’ve compiled some of our best tips for giving your home the upgrade it deserves – and on a budget!

Livable Luxury: A popular trend in the home décor sphere this year is to make kitchens and living rooms as livable and relaxed as possible. People want to have distinctive and beautiful spaces without the high-maintenance materials that they have to worry about getting dirty or spilled on. Easy to maintain materials such as porcelain tile and slabs are simple to wipe down and are a valuable investment if you’re looking for a practical yet trendy upgrade.

 

Start Small: Sometimes a little change can make a big difference. Consider installing a new kitchen backsplash and cabinet hardware or investing in new accent pillows and blankets for the living room. Accessories can make a room look entirely different without having to fully replace something that is going to cost much more.

Revitalize The Walls: As temperatures drop, we crave a cozy and warm home aesthetic. Repainting your walls and giving them a burst of color will completely change the atmosphere of a room (for fall we recommend warm browns and reds). Another positive about repainting is that it only takes a couple of days and won’t be a project that takes months to complete.

Added Storage: Clean up the clutter and invest in compact storage furniture such as chests and shelves for your kitchen or living room. Different pieces can bring in new colors and patterns to achieve an attractive look that’s stylish and storage savvy.
