Paint the inside of a cabinet to add some color or just paint an accent wall a bright bold color.
Get New Throws
Whenever you buy a new sofa you typically get a couple of throw pillows with it, get rid of them and grab some new ones with a splash of color. Instant update to your living room! Get some bright oranges or yellows and brighten up that room, or get some wild patterns to break up the neutral tones in your room.
Designate a Conversation Area
Most new homes today come with open floor plans, this allows the rooms to flow into one another seamlessly and for the most part that is great. But if you want something more intimate and cozy then create a conversation area using your sofa, some chairs and a nice area rug. It makes the room a bit warmer and more inviting.
Get Some New Lampshades

Updating your home doesn’t have to be complicated nor does it have to be expensive. There are lots of simple updates you can do to change your decor without buying all new furniture. Just use your imagination and don’t be afraid to use some color!
