Time: 1 Hour - Multiple days!
STEP 1: Decide which room you would like to update/makeover. Think about what is missing in it, and how to bring more (or a different) energy into it. Think about what you already own that may enhance the room, or how you could rearrange the furniture to open it up. Tap into your creative side and challenge yourself to reimagine your space and experiment.
STEP 2: Look for ideas in magazines, on Pinterest, or talk to a friend whose house you like. Maybe you want your bedroom to be more of a relaxing, calm space or your kitchen to be bright and airy. Select a few “keywords” to define your vision of the new space and let them guide your selections regarding the redecoration. Determine how intensive you want this project to be, and whether you’ll need to enlist help from a professional.
STEP 3: Crank up the music and get started. Open the windows to get some fresh air while you are rearranging. This will increase the energy in it as well. If you are taking on a large project, develop a schedule over a series of days or weeks and set milestones for yourself to complete the project. Don’t be afraid to enlist help if you get overwhelmed.
STEP 4: As you redecorate, clean out as much clutter as possible. Give away or store what you don’t need.
STEP 5: Bring in a green plant to liven up the space a bit and/or diffuse some uplifting or seasonal scents to make a comfier, cozier space. These small touches can really make a huge difference in the overall feeling of a room and are a cheap and easy way to shift the vibe of a space. Enjoy.
