Hello,

Are you bored of your current room/home/office space? Looking for a change? But not having to buy new furniture or spend a bomb? Then go on reading the below ideas:

For most of us, replacing all of your furniture room by room isn’t feasible. That doesn’t mean you can’t make simple, easy and often-inexpensive changes to rooms in your home. Here are some easy ways to change the look of any room without buying any new furniture.

Give your windows something new to wear. Ready-to-hang window treatments are easy to install and yield dramatic results. Windows can be dressed to perfectly suit your style and taste. You can go bold and graphic with geometric curtain panels, or beachy with gauzy white sheers, or minimalist with bamboo shades—the options are endless.

 

Place flowers with a flourish for an instant breath of fresh air in any room. Or, if you prefer, potted ferns, wreaths, and potpourri can also make a statement. The focal point of the display doesn’t have to be only the greenery— give thought to the vase, as well.

 

A simple area rug can dramatically change the feel of a room. Dress up with an Oriental rug, or lighten up a dark room with a light colored rug, or add colors through a funky patterned rug.

 

Brighten up with new lighting. Proper lighting can truly bring a room to life.  A poorly lit room looks small, dark and cramped, while a brightly lit room appears open, airy and welcoming. Strategically place a couple tall floor lamps in dark corners, Layer this lighting with lamps on side tables, or you can replace all those outdated ceiling fixtures with the stunning modern masterpieces. All this makes your room feel welcoming and cozy.

 

One word: Paint. “Paint it” is the most common suggestion you’ll hear to update a room. It seems obvious but a clean coat of paint can take a room from drab to fab. Consider adding a punch of color on an accent wall, or just touch up your trim with a clean coat of white paint. If your home already has a fresh coat of paint, then look to other things that could use a touch-up.  Maybe paint your ceiling a cool blue, or bring new life to an outdated piece of furniture with a new coat of paint. A deep clean and a new coat of paint can go a long way when it comes to revamping our rooms without major renovations.

 

Install decorative display shelves. You’ll solve storage and decorating issues at the same time. If you collect shells, matchbooks, or family photos, don’t hide them away. Give each their own space to shine, and give your room a new vibe in the process. Mirrors when placed opposite windows reflect light into the room and make the room seem more open.

 

Wallpaper an accent wall. Consider covering the main wall of your bedroom with a peaceful pattern, or consider a living room update by covering one wall with a funky geometric patterned paper.

 

Last but not the least. Add colorful cushions. Cushions are significant decorating accessories that make your space look stylish and versatile and are light on your budget of home décor. If you lead a very casual/informal lifestyle, funky/jazzy designs suit you the best. Then create a good mix of colorful and decorative cushions in unusual shapes and create a delightful atmosphere.

Hope these ideas help you in bringing a little change in your home or space.

Adorn your walls with Islamic art

Islamic art is richly influenced by a variety of cultures, namely, Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Chinese and Indian! You can spot Islamic art in architecture, calligraphy, paintings, glass work, ceramics, and textiles.

Any celebration is incomplete without lights and when it comes to Eid, the different types of light and candles are of great use. You can use designer lanterns to decorate your home. Add soft color of glittery lanterns for the refreshing festive mood. Play with the placement of lanterns. You can place it on the dining table or hang it above the sitting area. Try to make centerpiece arrangement of lantern for your dining table that gives an ethnic touch to the decoration. Add extra lighting to your home during this month. Even the soft glow of candles can add accent lighting to your décor.

Sparkles All Around

For Eid celebration, use of sparkle and glitters are of great importance, as without adding the glitz and sheen to everything the Eid celebration is incomplete.

Here are few tips and tricks which I learned in this event on organizing your wardrobe.

  • There’s little point in owning a gorgeous bag or dress if you can’t find it in your closet when you’re getting dressed. A clean, well-organized wardrobe—instead of a confusing, jumbled mess of clothes and accessories—means you’ll maximize all your sartorial purchases, and come up with polished, carefully considered outfits even on hectic mornings. The task of decluttering your wardrobe can be overwhelming but its worth doing it.
  • Get Rid of Your Old Clothes. It might not be easy, but tossing out or donating old clothes is key to making room in your closet.
  • Organize your tops and dresses. If you have the space to hang, hang everything, You’ll wear more if you can see it!
  • Organize Bags and Shoes. It’s better to keep shoes and bags outside on shelves and have as much visible as possible. It’s hard to change bags if you can’t see them. They don’t generally get damaged out of their dust bags, so enjoy the view.
  • Organize Jewelry on top of the dresser. It’s also a great way to see what you have and makes it easy to keep hidden from plain sight.

I hope these tips and tricks help you organize your wardrobe and maximize more space in order to fit all our clothes, shoes, and bags. Till then xoxo
