A room makeover can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. By decluttering, rearranging furniture, updating paint colors and adding accessories, you can give your room an aesthetic overhaul that is both functional and stylish.

The living room is one of the most used rooms in the home, so it’s important that it be both functional and fashionable. The first step in giving your living room a makeover is to remove any items that you no longer need or want, like old toys, mail, or other clutter. Then, reorganize the space by moving furniture around or refinishing pieces to update the look of them. Finally, add a few decorative touches like a new rug, art, and even plants to tie everything together.

After redoing the living room, it’s time to turn attention to the bedroom. This space is often a priority for makeovers because it’s the most personal room in the home, where people relax and sleep.

It can be hard to imagine what a room could become when it’s so drab, but these before-and-after photos show just how much a little makeover can do. With the right color and design, any bedroom can be transformed into a dream bedroom.

This bedroom was in dire need of a makeover before blogger Cami from the blog TIDBITS got to work. Luckily, the bedroom had a giant bay window to brighten things up and she found some fantastic thrift store finds to completely refashion the room for next to nothing.

Changing the color of a room can really make a difference in how it feels. The key to making a color choice work is choosing a shade that will complement the existing color scheme, rather than fighting against it. This is why it’s so important to test out a few shades on the walls before committing to a color.

While the final look of a room will depend on the style you’re going for, some classic staples like a cozy chair, ottoman, or bench are always good choices. Another great piece to have in any bedroom is a statement mirror. A big, bold mirror can instantly brighten a small space and serve as a focal point.

Lighting is a crucial element in any room, and it can truly make or break a space. Dark rooms feel small and cramped, while well-lit spaces are airy and welcoming. To give your space a fresh update, swap out any outdated light fixtures for a more modern fixture that will brighten the whole space.
