1. A quick and easy design hack is to give your room a fresh look with new cushions. Mix up the styles for a vibrant look.

2. Adding colour to a room is awesome. But when your palette is already complete, try adding texture to the room. Wicker furniture, plush rugs, and textured walls all make a room look more beautiful.

3. Low furniture will give your home a casual feel and create the illusion of more height. Want to go even higher? Put those curtains all the way to the top!

4. Don't block light from entering your home, keep furniture away from the windows. A bright home is inviting and fresh.

6. A bold statement anchors a room together. Invest in pieces for your home and style the look around that focal point.

7. Wallpaper can add depth to a small room. It's a fun and noncommittal way to spice up your design!

8. Light coloured ceilings make rooms feel taller and brighter. Paint it brighter then the walls of your home for optimum height.

9. Decorate your windows. Curtains, blinds, and shades are underused canvases in your home.

10.Walk on the dark side. Accessorize with bright furniture and decor if you go dark on your walls.

11. Business on the left, party on the right. You can visually divide a room up with shelves and lighting to create a workspace in your living room.

12. Use innovative room dividers in an apartment or studio. Choose ones that give your home a sense of flow but still create separate living spaces.

After reading our list, you'll be well on your way to putting together a fresh and professionally styled look for your home.
