Are you sick of your room decor? The idea of making over your entire family room or bedroom can seem a bit overwhelming. And it is easy to feel stuck in the design choices you made years ago. It can get really expensive to buy everything from new furniture to lamps and accessories. But not to worry! All you need to refresh your look is new bedding or throw pillows, fresh paint and a few accessories!

Let's start in the family room...

Little groupings of candles and/or ceramic pots add a stylish pop of interest.

The Breakdown

There are so many directions you can go when making over your bedroom. However, from choosing the right color palette to finding the perfect throw pillows, it can get overwhelming. The best thing to do is start with your favorite print or the perfect pair of throw pillows. Don't be afraid to add an unexpected element to your room like the above mustache pillow. It creates a less serious environment. Once you pick your inspiration piece start adding layers. All the pieces above can be found on Etsy.
