Straightforward Residence Decor and DIY Tweaks for a Contemporary New Look | Thrifty Decor Chick

Even tiny updates make a distinction, particularly within the new 12 months when easier decor is a welcome change.

My favourite days are these when we have now NO plans and I can putter round the home, organizing and making small tweaks round our home. 

We do not all the time need to spend a ton of cash to fulfill the necessity for change — rearranging furnishings and decor is all the time an possibility for certain. 

I am sharing a number of residence tweaks I’ve remodeled the previous few weeks, together with shifting some issues round, switching out an accent coloration and in addition eradicating decor. 

They’re all small updates, however they made our areas really feel recent and new!

Drawback is, you may barely see them. A number of weeks in the past I stood there gazing this spot and considering they might look nice in between the home windows as an alternative. 

That thick trim in between the home windows was the right spot — we will really see them now! 

I’ve turned these on extra previously few weeks than I’ve in months!

This fast redo did not value us a dime! It is humorous how simply shifting issues round makes such a distinction. 

The subsequent challenge was plenty of work, however I really feel prefer it matches our basement household room so a lot better.

It appeared nice! However after a number of years, I needed somewhat little bit of coloration as an alternative of the grey. 

I lastly received it put in over the vacations, and I hung it proper over the previous stuff! 

It took FOREVER, as a result of I needed to lower and trim the wallpaper to suit every part. (I hung the earlier paper on the wall earlier than I put in the bookcase portion of this in-built.) 

This was well worth the work! It is a delicate distinction, however we like it! The inexperienced flows superbly with the darkish grey cabinetry and warms up the room much more: 

I am a sucker for a grasscloth wallpaper — I’ve used it a number of occasions in our residence. The feel is a beautiful addition: 

A grasscloth wallpaper is extra inexpensive, since there is no design to match up as you put in it on the wall. There is no wasted paper!

Of the entire tweaks I am sharing as we speak, that was the one one I spent cash on! 

We have lined rearranging what you have already got, in addition to including new. Now my favourite residence tweak — taking issues away! 🙂 

I undoubtedly pattern sure methods with our decor at completely different occasions of the 12 months…when fall and the vacations hit, I love extra decor round the home. 

However the first half of the 12 months, I crave extra simplicity in our residence…the brand new 12 months feels so good with a clear slate! 

I’ve had that cute ornamental rail hanging above our stovetop since shifting in, however not too long ago I made a decision to take it right down to see how I favored the easier look. 

Properly, duh…I liked it. 😂

Fortunately once I put in it, I drilled the holes for the screws into the grout as an alternative of the tile. For now I crammed these small holes with some grey caulk we had readily available: 

It’s important to stand up reeaaaal near see the colour distinction, however I’ve a plan to repair that for good sooner or later! 

It was like a breath of recent air once I stepped again and checked out this spot with out the railing. The beautiful new vent hood ought to be the star, and now it’s!: 

Whereas I used to be at it, I made a decision to take down the same railing on the finish of our cupboard within the kitchen as nicely — my plan was to spray paint it in a brass coloration as an alternative of the stainless-steel: 

Properly, I went via the entire means of spray portray quite a few coats on every bit — the railing, all of the hooks and the {hardware}. Once I went to place it again…I simply could not do it. 

Sooo, I crammed the holes, touched up the paint and LOVED the way it appeared with out! 

These ornamental railings with hooks had been in fairly shut proximity to one another, so it was just like the kitchen received larger once they had been taken down. 

I’ll find yourself placing the one on the cupboard again up sooner or later, who is aware of? However for now I just like the easier look: 

That is the beauty of adorning and DIYing in your personal residence — you (and your loved ones) get to resolve what you need! 

Do not comply with tendencies, do what you need. 😄 (Even when it is a fashionable!)

Rearranging, altering issues out and even eradicating objects could make your room really feel utterly refreshed…it is loopy the distinction these little tweaks make.
