Little details in your house can dramatically change the overall aesthetic

Want to give a room in your home a fresh vibe but don't have the time, money or other resources to spend on a full redesign? There are a number of little changes you can make throughout your home — as often as you like! — to give a space a new look that won't cost an arm, a leg or an afternoon. From adding a few accents to your living room or bedroom to redesigning a few kitchen items, a few small changes around the house can really make a big difference. Here are small details you can change in your house to dramatically change the overall aesthetic.  

Add a door knocker

 The front door of your home is the first thing you (and your guests) see when coming home, and it's your first chance to make a big impact. While re-painting your door in a bold color is a great option, it's easier and faster to add new hardware, like a decorative door knocker. Whether you choose a whimsical animal shape or an elegant hand, there are a wide range of new and antique options to spruce up any doorway.

Paint your walls 

Painting your walls won't actually take as long as you think and it is a quick and easy way to completely transform a room. You can paint as many or as few walls as you want to make the task big or small.

Choose a completely different color paint than your current theme (you could even change the color based on the time of year) and breathe life into a room so it looks and feels completely different.

Add texture in the kitchen 

There are two main materials found in kitchen decor: ceramic and metal. These two textures already compliment each other nicely. Why not take it a step further? Sprinkling in other textures like wood and glass can have a huge impact on the space. It's a great way to add visual interest without stepping out of an established color scheme.

Upgrade your flooring 

If your home's flooring has seen better days, consider updating it for an option that better suits your needs and fits in with your ideal style. This might mean switching your carpet for tile or hardwood (or vice versa) or updating old, outdated floor panels with newer versions. This is one change that can alter the overall look and feel of your home, so choose something you love that fits in with your family's lifestyle.

Update your throw pillows

 Throw pillows add color, texture, and polish to a living room or bedroom, and there are endless ways to mix and match them. If your furniture and other decor are more neutral shades, adding colorful throw pillows can change the entire color scheme of your room.

The best part about throw pillows is that changing them up doesn't require purchasing a full set of new pillows. You can buy slip covers for pillows you already own—or for a fun and frugal DIY project, find easy tutorials for making pillow covers out of curtains, sheets, or tablecloths you already have on hand.

Embrace Greenery 

Nothing makes your house look welcoming and pleasant more than greenery. Your renovation doesn't have to stop at the interior of your home. Plant a small garden if you have an outdoor area and dazzle all your visitors with the beauty of nature. All you need to do is to mow the grass and plant colorful flowers that can change the entire look of the whole space dramatically. 

If you don't have enough space outside, install small plant pots on your balcony that will make your house the envy of all neighbors. You can also hire a landscape designer to boost your outdoor visuals and accent them with water features, plants, and flowers.
