Renovations are exciting, but they can also feel endless and messy. While everyone craves a well-designed home with a cozy, livable space, the thought of having to break down walls and wait for contractors to get work done is exhausting. 

Fortunately, there are other options to making your space feel fresh and updated without the extensive waiting periods that major renovations might cause. Here are my 3 surefire ways to update your home without a major renovation… 

1. The Power of a Fresh Coat of Paint

One of the quickest ways to make any space feel new again is to paint it. By adding an accent wall, a new color to the ceiling, or even just switching up the paint color, you will be amazed at how the entire feel of the room will change. Paint can make a wall look bigger, brighter, more impactful, and add depth and dimension. Try it!

2. Brighten Your Space with New Lighting & Hardware

Awakening your home with new updated lighting and hardware is another great way to avoid renovations. By adding new pulls and knobs, you can make your cabinets and drawers look and feel new again. Yes, it sounds small, but it really will make a big impact. And with so many different styles and finishes to choose from, it’s an exciting way to add your personal style. 

A new light fixture is also a quick solution to brighten up any room, quite literally. Switching out an old fixture and replacing it with a new one can add drama, modernization, and sophistication. You can find some of my favorite options for stunning light fixtures here.

3. Transform the Space with New Furniture & Window Treatments

It is too easy to forget about the impact of dressing up your windows. While simple blinds are functional, they don't actually add any va-va-voom to the room. Depending on the treatments you choose, your windows can have a lot to say about your personal taste. Don't miss out on this entire layer of decorating — your room will thank you for it!  You can find more on this topic here.

Other quick ways to update the space are with rugs and new furniture, which allow you to introduce new colors and textures into the room. Rugs, especially, are great at pulling the whole room together. They can make the room feel cozy, fun, cool, and even influence the visual size of your space.

Adding a new piece of furniture, like an accent chair or two, can also present new fashion choices, play up a vibe, and add interest to a room. You can find some great chair ideas here.
