These 7 simple updates can help transform a room from drab to fab.

1. If your furniture is all the same color, bring in a chair that’s upholstered in a fun print to instantly liven up the look of a room.

2. Add an area rug to better define a particular space, such as a small sitting area.

3. Update your throw pillows. Create interest while maintaining cohesion, by utilizing different patterns within the same color family.

4. Become an artist and create an eye-catching abstract painting. It truly is simple, and is an easy way to tie in colors within a room, or make a beautiful, bold statement.

5. Create great lighting within a room by working an additional lamp into the design (or simply swapping out an older lamp for one that puts out better light).

6. Add an accessory in a bold color. Poufs are everywhere in interiors right now, and are a great and inexpensive way in increase the seating capacity in a room.

7. Whether you love the color of a room or you’re dying to try something new, a fresh coat of paint can make a big difference within a room.
