Remodeling a room can feel like the ultimate test of patience and financial savvy, but it doesn’t have to cost a fortune (or months of your time) to make any space feel like new. Put some of these tips into practice, and see for yourself! 
 
Places like online stores and discount retailers are gold mines for inexpensive pieces you can use to upgrade your space. Think throw pillows, rugs, picture frames, and faux plants and flowers, which breathe life into a dull space without the expense. Now is a great time, when stores are closed, to resource online furniture and online home décor shopping sites. My motto is you too can “shop like a designer” and it’s so true because interior designers resource online as well but we do it with manufactures that only a trade professional has access to and now HOME BY WDL gives you that access as well.
 
 
 
 
Reduced-price redecorating
 
Refreshing your family room with new pillows couldn’t be easier.  Take these bright fun pillows that can be mixed with solid colored pillows that you probably already own and maybe even came with the sofa you purchased.  Pair with a fun rug, update your pictures with new frames that coordinate and your space will be transformed instantly.  
 
 
 
A touch of paint
 
Have you looked removed all the furniture from any of your rooms since you moved in?  You know like when you are moving out of your home and all the furniture is out of a room and you see all the marks and holes on the walls and how dingy the paint really looks and you think “wow I can’t believe I lived in it like this”. Sometimes I will even empty out a room of furniture repaint and put everything back with a different layout and new accessories and like magic you have a new updated space.
The best thing about paint is that it’s relatively inexpensive and a little goes a long way. Just one gallon of paint is enough to repaint a bathroom or other small space, and it can even be used to give cabinets, shelves, hardware, and other surfaces new life.  The most frequent question I am asked about is choosing paint colors  I have now made it easy by offering virtual design paint consults.  What does this mean for you? You send photos of your rooms to me and I quickly give you the best options for paint colors for walls, trim and ceilings.  It’s that easy.  Take all the hassle out of trying lots of paint samples, painting each one on the wall, studying them for days on end  and still not picking the right color.  Not to mention the expense of all the samples.  I have made it simple for anyone to have a professional award winning designer choose their paint colors for them.    
 
From wall to wall 
Wall decor can make a huge difference when it comes to the look and style of a room, and if you already have perfectly usable picture frames, something as simple as a quick coat of paint in a bright color can tie your room together.  A dramatic piece of art in a dining room can create a focal point and dress up the space.  When you go to a restaurant for instance, aren’t the walls filled with some kind of art or photography.  It is welcoming to your guests and makes the room feel more intimate.  Try this piece even on a white wall color and watch it pop in the room.  That’s how you create a statement piece.
 
All about the accents 
 
Does your room have large windows? Make sure you opt for light, breezy curtains to maximize the natural light. Is your coffee table the most beloved piece of furniture you own? Don’t tuck it away behind a table runner or large centerpiece—let the best parts of the room speak for themselves.  Window treatments are like putting a frame around your window.  They actually bring the outdoors in by making the scenery outside the focal point.  I love light and airy window treatments for the spring and summer and you don’t have to break the bank.  These drapes slip on and off a drapery rod for easy seasonal change up and for cleaning when necessary.
