Ken Rader Interiors L.L.C. Ten Ways to Make Your Home Feel Like A New Place. It is possible!

Does the look, feel and style of your home make you want to just walk back out? If you are tired of your home's current decor, but your budget won't allow you to remodel or redecorate completely, what do you do?
  Ways to transform the look and feel of your home are easy to locate. They are out there, and with the right ideas and a few materials, you can choose from several options that will make your home feel like you want it to.
 Where to start?
 Decorating Tips for Your Home

• 1. Sometimes remodeling isn't necessary, especially if clutter is a big part of your decor. Organize some of that mess to change the look of certain rooms in your home. If you can, buy decorative shelving and fun boxes to organize certain items. Make sure you have the correct fasteners and fixings to put the shelving together and you will have no problem creating a whole new look.

• 2. Tired of the same old layout? Rearrange! Move your existing furniture around in the same room, or swap rooms altogether. While this may take a bit of elbow grease, it will make a world of difference.

• 3. If you have a friend who is willing to be honest with you, have them come into your home and assess any problems with your decor. They may be able to tell you exactly what to do to change the look of your house.

• 4. Fixing up and re-purposing old pieces of furniture can give your room an instant makeover. Use a fresh coat of paint, stain, or new fixtures to make old items look like new!

• 5. Using bolts and screws, attach a mirror to the inside of the back of an open cabinet or bookcase for a fresh look. If you don't have a mirror, or can't find one you like, you can also use wallpaper.

• 6. You may not be able to afford a new bathroom sink or new kitchen cabinets, but you can still make them look and feel brand new with the use of new hardware. Change out your old faucets, knobs, and handles on your cabinets, dressers, sinks, tubs, and storage units.

• 7. Make purchases you love. Don't buy something just because it 'fits' in your space or you like the price. If you don't love it, don't buy it.

• 8. Want to change the look of an entire room at once? Repaint it. Adding a new shade or color will make it seem updated and refreshed.

• 9. Artwork scattered throughout your house?  You know, pictures, wall hangings, clocks, shelves with items displayed on them. You can easily use it to give your space a new look. Arrange all of it on one wall, and then install accent lighting with the correct fasteners and fixings above it. This accent wall will draw your guest's attention and bring a new perspective to your space.

• 10. It is summer, so why not bring the outdoors in?  Fresh flowers in vases all over your home will add a bit of color to your decor.

Of course this is just a few suggestions.  There are hundreds more.  Look in some up to date magazines, watch some of the home improvement shows on TV.  It can be fun and for a little bit of money and some hard work on your part you can have the look you want for your home.
