3. Add a rug, two or three

I love rugs and if you have wooden floors, they are also great for soundproofing a room, but most of all, they are perfect for adding a splash of colour and personality. They also will separate and really define a space”¦.AND you don’t have to spend a lot of money for a beautiful rug (you can get a better deal online than in a shop).

4. Change your lamp shade

Don’t buy brand new lamps, just switch them with a new lamp shade and subtle lighting. This is a cost effective way to decorate instead of replacing the entire lamp.
