Tired of a space in your home? Surprising there are some easy fixes that can make your space look completely different with out a ton of work and money. Here are three quick and easy tips to change a space on the fly.

1. Rearrange the furniture. simple and fast, sometimes just changing where the bed is in the room, or the
   arrangement of furniture in the living room and completely change how a room looks; how big the space
   feels, and how much natural light comes in.


2. Change up the small decor- an easy fix to spice up a space, and change the way it feels- change up
    your "accessories". moving books from the bookshelf to a neat stack on the coffee table, putting a tray
    with candles on the ottoman, changing out the artwork on the wall etc. this tip is easy and endless in the
    ways you can change things. It can be something as simple as changing out the decorative pillows on a
    sofa or bed, but it can give a completely different feel to the space.


3. Change up the paint- painting the room and different color can have a huge impact on the space. Some
    shades can make a space feel larger and calmer than others. If you don't have the time, paint one wall- an
    accent wall it will draw your attention to that wall and change the dynamic of the space.

Adding new accessories such as rain boots under a table or new candlesticks can change the look of a space.
