1. Paint an accent wall.
   Painting can become a big job, but you don't have to repaint an entire room to make it feel new. Sometimes a single accent wall in a bold, vibrant color can have an even greater impact. Not sure about what color to choose for an accent wall? Look around the room for inspiration. Sometimes matching an accent wall to the color of an existing piece of furniture or decor can tie the whole room together.
   
   
2. Get creative with curtains.
   Windows come in all shapes and sizes, and the curtains you hang on them don't have to match. In fact,hanging curtains or drapes well above your windows and letting them reach nearly to the floor can make the room feel much grander.
   
   
3. Replace cabinet hardware.
   This is a simple change that can transform your kitchen or bathroom in the blink of an eye. It's easy too, and you can choose among a virtually endless array of styles for drawer handles and cabinet pulls to match any decor. If you're really ambitious, you could also repaint or re-stain your cabinetry.
   
   
4. Create a picture wall.
   Hanging artwork strategically is an art in and of itself, and a well-arranged picture wall can transform your home into an art gallery. Whether you want to display family photos, paintings, or some combination of the two, there are countless ways to achieve a satisfying design. One of our favorites is to hang a picture rail so that you can easily change and rearrange the art you place on it.
   
   
5. Bring in some greenery.
   Few things can transform your living space quite like house plants. They can liven up any room of your house and actually help purify the air in addition to adding a beautiful dash of color.
   
   
6. Display your favorite kitchenware.
   Quality kitchenware is practically a work of art. Why lock it up in cabinets where no one can see it? Decorating your kitchen with things you actually use—a favorite bowl, an antique teapot—is a great way to meld form with function while breathingnew life into the room. We also love creative spice racksand open shelving to display copper pots and pans.
   
   
7. Cozy up to your bedroom with a duvet.
   A new duvet cover is a great way to liven up your bedding without actually having to replace all of it. And since most good duvet covers come with matching pillow shams, you get a completely new look for your bed, and by extension, your entire bedroom. You might be shocked at the difference it can make.
   
   
8. Upgrade your doors.
   Getting creative with doorways can be a surprising way to add new dimensions to your space. You can really transform bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways by replacing or even justrepainting one or more doors. In some cases, simply removing an unnecessary door can make the space feel larger.
