Affordable Ways to Update Your Home

Wanting to make some improvements to your home, but your budget is a little tight these days? No worries! At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we’ve got some ideas for how you can change the look and feel of a room without breaking the bank. Read on to learn more!

Peel-and-Stick Tile

Manufacturing improvements have made faux tile look more realistic than ever. For much less than you’d spend on a real tile backsplash for your kitchen or accent wall in your bath, you can use peel-and-stick tiles to quickly update a room. Plus, it’s a great way to add some color and interest to an area that might have otherwise been neglected.

Update Old Fixtures

Your kitchen cabinets can look worlds different with new door and drawer handles and pulls. Also consider upgrading your doorknobs. Both are quick and relatively inexpensive ways to modernize an area and make it look more elegant.

Bring a Touch of Sophistication

Have you ever noticed the impact throw pillows can make? They turn a normal couch into an invitingly cozy nook, and bring color and texture to a room. When you purchase the pillows, be sure to choose a variety of different sizes and textures to add visual depth, and mix patterns and solids as well.

Focused Spend

If you do happen to have something in the budget for a bigger purchase, focus your spending wisely. A new couch or exquisite coffee table can be a statement piece that elevates a room. And, of course, new or enhanced window fashions can update the entire look immediately. Floor-to-ceiling draperies bring elegance, or you could go with distinguished treatments such as Silhouette® or Pirouette® window shadings to bring something new to the space. To spice up the on-window treatment you already have, consider adding custom side panels. Look at the Hunter Douglas Design Studio™, now featuring unique patterns from renowned textile designer Rebecca Atwood, for fabric pairings, finishing details, and more.
