Seasonal Home Updates That Don’t Break The Budget
Dropping temperatures outside whisper for autumn hues and cozy rooms in your home. In fact, every season that rolls around is usually ensued by the urge to refresh and update your home to match the mood of the changing environment outside. But unfortunately those home updates usually come with a price tag that are difficult to justify every three months. However, giving your home a seasonal refresh does not have to break the bank if you focus on a few key adjustments that will make a huge difference in the ambiance of your home. Here are a few ideas:
Throw Pillows
Never underestimate the power of a throw pillow to transform a room. Choose a few of the darker, warmer shades from your home’s color palette to enhance that sense of comfort and cozy up your space. If you are unsure of the color palette of your room, that might be a great place to start! Be sure to stagger solids with patterned pillows to add dimension and interest to your couches and chairs.
Adding an accent wall is a tasteful way to establish a focal point in any room in your home.
Accent Walls
Accent walls have been all the rage these past few years as designers have emphasized the importance of having a focal point which draws the eye in any given space. Although it takes some planning and an eye for detail, many have been able to use a collage of pictures, shelves, and other decorations to design an accent wall that is unique and fun. If you have an accent wall in your house, you might consider swapping out a few of the pictures or decorations to match the current season. This is a cheap and practical way to keep your house looking fresh with every change of weather!
Plants
Indoor and porch plants are one of the easiest ways to celebrate the distinctions of each season! Mums in the fall or daffodils in the spring automatically reflect the shift outside. You can incorporate them into the centerpieces on your dining room table or next to your favorite reading chair or in your statement bookshelves. The options are endless! Farmers markets and local plant shops are excellent places to find good deals on the season’s best flowers and greenery.
A few small touches can transform your home to reflect the season’s finest without spending a fortune. We hope these ideas will be helpful to spark your own creativity in decorating your house as the weather changes!
