5 Low-Cost Ways to Redecorate Your Home for the New Year
Find yourself saying “New Year, New Me”?
If so, nothing says new like updating your space. Whether you have a house or apartment, here are 5 low cost ways to get a new look!
The perfect rug is waiting for you!
Add A Rug
Rugs are the anchors of a well designed room. For less than $150, you can get a new rug that’ll be sure to breathe new life into any room. There are many options out there and I’m confident you’ll have no problem choosing one that’s right for you.
Pro Tip: Be sure to select the right size. A rug that’s too small will get swallowed up by your furniture. A rug that’s too large will need to be folded and/or cut…no one wants that!
Treat yourself to better bedding*!
2. Level Up Your Linens
We spend entirely too much time in our beds to sleep on crappy linens. Get a duvet, a duvet cover, flat + fitted sheets, and pillow cases that will help you sleep in peace. Don’t forget about a few throw pillows. *Ever try a sound machine and weighted blanket? Grab those…thank me later.
Pro tip: Let go of those old and worn sheets and replace them with quality, washable bedding that will last for years to come.
Hey plant baby!
3. Add A Plant
Nothing says new life like a new plant. House plants promote better air quality and who doesn’t want better air indoors?

4. It’s Time for a New Sofa
Let’s just be honest. Your sofa’s best days are behind him. Sitting on it is just not as comfortable as it once was and you have fallen out of love. It’s time to replace your old relic with one you love. There are some great retailers out there so be sure to do your research.
Pro tip: If you’re not quite ready for new and can settle for newer…try Facebook Marketplace. Buy from someone who has good reviews and check the piece out before agreeing to buy.

Create an area of your home with great lighting and other elements that motivate you. For me its plants and comfy seating in a room that doesn’t have a bed. Before you get your own office, this will be your first office.
Pro tip: If the room has a door…for good feng shui, be sure your seat is facing the door for a true power pose!
