Add new life to an existing Room

Do you have a room that's feeling unloved and boring? If you aren't ready to toss everything, try starting out with small item's to add life to a neglected space.

Here are some tricks to add energy to your space:

• I always tell my clients to add black and green to their space. These colors can be added in a very small amount, but it will help add contrast into your room of choice. It could be a plant on your coffee table, a few black picture frames throughout the room, etc.

• Freshen up your toss pillows. Having pillows on your sofas and chairs that have flattened out over time and lost their luster isn't appealing. Add some pillow's in a fun accent color and go with down feather filled, they will hold their shape forever with a little fluffing!

• Change out your old lamp shades. Bring in drum shades in simple shapes and colors. White or linen are always basic colors that should go with any space. This will update your lighting without costing a small fortune.

• Get rid of your clutter!! Remove everything from your surfaces, open shelving, etc. Choose your favorite pieces and edit the rest. Re-organizing your home will instantly give your space, and you, a fresh outlook. Try using wicker baskets to add storage in your living space, while introducing some texture at the same time.
