As a little thank you, I wanted to give you a quick tip so that you can start creating a sense of home in your space, whether you’re ready to hire an interior designer or not.

You ready?

No matter what stage of home design you are in, if you feel like your room is in need of a refresh there is a simple way to accomplish that feeling before spending a dime.

CHANGE YOUR LAYOUT

Moving the furniture around can, not only, change the way you feel about your space, but change the way it functions. Areas that were ignored can be captured and rearranged, maximizing your space and creating new zones to enjoy throughout your home. In an ideal situation, it helps if you can take everything out of your space when you want to hit the reset button. Doing this frees your mind from automatically relying on the existing layout. However, from a more practical perspective, you might want to measure your room and the furniture, cut pieces of paper to scale, and shift the paper cutouts around to find a layout you like before carting heavy items to and fro. This will allow you to try out many different layouts, while barely lifting a finger.
