10 Tips to Spruce Up Your Home

Now that you are interested in buying a home in Sedona, are you looking for a Fixer Upper? There are many ways to make a new home livable while you are saving for that new living room furniture you want.

Below are some quick tips to get your new home into tip top shape without spending a lot of money!

You’ve done it! You own your first piece of property. Make a list. Take each room and place a photo, plant, paperweight or personal item that reflects you and your individuality. Your home should show off your unique personality.

Any new room can be made comfy with a new coat of paint. Choose warm colors for rooms you will be relaxing in, and cool colors for offices and bathrooms.

Does your new home have a great window that lets in beautiful light? Or maybe you have a sliding glass door that gives you a great view. Be sure to keep these spaces open and unblocked.

Go inexpensive with some pretty, simple curtains. Use white to match with everything, or pick a color that you know would brighten up the room.

While moving in to your new house, make sure to take charge and throw away useless items that you will not use. You are starting over!

Use your interior decorating eye and find the perfect places for some potted plants and flowers. Instead throwing out withering flowers, hang them upside down and dry them for a great wall piece.

Spend a Sunday shopping at a local flea market for a unique piece for the new room in your home that is your favorite. Treat yourself and you just might come across a valuable piece!

Find a nice simple rug to save your carpet. A vibrant rug can add a splash of color to any room.

Instead of a posed Department Store picture, choose a candid action shot. Buy an oversized Mat and simple frame. Try this in two’s and three’s. It’s a great way to dress up a lonely wall.

Give your favorite oversized chair a makeover and buy a plain colored chair cover. These work great and make it look like you bought a new piece of furniture!
