If you’re looking for quick fire ways to make big changes to your living space, we can help. It might be a seasonal change that you’re after, or some unexpected time at home could have convinced that it’s time for a change, whatever the reason just know it’s possible to change things up in a major way without wetting a paint brush or parting with a mountain of cash.
The easiest way? Statement furnishings are the simplest thing to chop and change, and their portable nature means you can stay bang on trend and mix things up as often as your heart desires. You can even shift pieces from room to room or mix things up in different combos to keep this looks fresh.
Rugs
Aside from changing up the paint or adding wallpaper, rugs are one of the speediest ways to make a big change to a tired room. They’re a fast and simple way to try out colours and patterns without making a more permanent switch.
The MIRJANA Berber-Style Wool Rug can help to lighten things up and accentuate natural light, and with availability in three sizes you can choose to zone off your room or take up space. At the other end of the spectrum, the Afaw Berber-Style Rug comes in dramatic monochrome and can make a drafty living area much cosier. Finally, to give your room a whole new flavour, nothing shouts louder than a vivid print. We love this Tropica Hibiscus Floral Print Rug by Think Rugs. It’s a piece with real wow factor and seriously seasonal credentials.
Curtains
When entering a room, most of us look straight to a light source or window as a focal point. Turn that impact up to max by changing up your curtains or blinds, adding colour or texture to transform a stale space into something that sings.
Linen is the perfect fabric for summer and these Odorie Single Linen/Viscose Eyelet Curtain come in a whole rainbow of shades. Lightweight and easy to change, you can mix up the colours as often as the mood takes you – we’ve got our eye on Sienna. If it’s blackout you’re after, try the Woven Blackout Pencil Pleat Curtains in Sage for a fresh, summer-ready colour that’ll transition well into Autumn and keep the sun out. And, if extra is your middle name, look no further than these Montreal Velvet Lined Door Curtain Panel in Hot Pink – a colour and fabric that screams glamour and fun!
Armchairs
We know that changing up your furniture can feel like a pretty big deal but using just one statement piece to create a little hideaway of style and calm could be just what you need right now. Picking an impactful colour is a guarantee that you’ll feel the change, whether it’s brights or jewel tones you plump for.
The Rennes Armchair by Swoon comes in 10 shades and two finishes. So you can stay in keeping with what you have, or create a to-die-for juxtaposition. We can’t decide between Ochre, Teal and Khaki… If it’s warm brights that do it for you, try the Plush Velvet Armchair by Premier in a delicious pop of Orange.
