DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR BEFORE YOUR FOREVER HOME

​You may find yourself living in a place that you know is not your forever house and feel stuck in a design rut. How do you make it feel like home without breaking the bank? This blog post is here to give you some ideas to achieve a sophisticated living space that reflects you without overspending.

​If you’re living in a smaller space finding that sense of cohesiveness between rooms really helps with the flow and overall feel of your home. Choose a loose color palette and have it carry across your wall décor and room accents. The results are a polished and inviting living space no matter what your budget is!

​Contain clutter! Nothing takes a toll on your spirit and decor like countertops over-spilling with utensils and too much stuff. But sometimes lack of storage forces us to keep a few things out. Organize and corral them in a beautiful frame. Frames are an inexpensive option that can easily be repurposed when you move into your dream home.

​Frame up something vintage to add character to your space while instantly making your house feel like a home and seem more expensive. Shop at flea markets, thrift stores or dig through closets for family heirlooms to find pieces that reflect you. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to add a unique flare to your space that will have guests wondering how they can achieve the same look.
