Remembering the Details to Create a New Look

Anytime you decide to renovate your home or even just rejuvenate a room or two, a small to-do list turns into a never ending project. For many it is a welcomed task that is taken on with zest and gusto but for some it can be very over whelming and almost defeating before they even begin. Plus, it doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s a complete overhaul or just changing a few things up, there are many little details that are often forgotten that can help contribute to giving the room or house a completely new look. It makes knowing what will make a difference and what won’t almost mandatory to any home project. 

 While many think of the obvious things; walls, textiles, furniture and floor coverings; it’s what no one seems to remember that will provide the finishing touches that never get noticed until you think you are done. So instead of a quick project it becomes one that is never ending and not a very fun situation for anyone to be in. To avoid the headache try to make it as easy as possible on yourself and think of the little things that will either finish off or bring together your vision. It’s the little after thoughts that matter, so for a few ideas…

Crown Molding

If your room doesn’t already have crown molding, it is definitely time to get some. It doesn’t only add a feel of class and luxury to any room, but it also provides dimension to the space. Not to mention that it is very easy to install and unbelievably inexpensive. 

Curtain Rods

This is probably one of the most forgotten details, but shouldn’t be! Unless you have a valance curtain rod, every window covering should include curtain rods that complement the décor. Although some can be quite pricey depending on style, there are many affordable options and most cities have specialty stores that sell cheap curtain rods. Plus, they are effortless to install. 

Lighting Fixtur

Although this is not usually forgotten about, many don’t realize how much of a change it can make to a room or think it’s out of their price range. However, that is not the case at all. For every high end fixture that comes with a hefty price tag there will be something similar that is easier on the pocket book. So whether it be a hanging chandelier style light or a floor lamp that illuminates specific areas, for most rooms the lighting fixture is the main focal point. Choosing something that works well with the style of the room and provides the right level of illumination to preferred areas will help to make your room pop!

While these are just a few of the easier components to change the list does go on, but at least you will have a starting pointing that will make you see beyond the bigger, more obvious things. Just stay focused and pay attention to the details!
