Tip #2
When the budget is low, time is running out, or your furniture is still in good shape but you can't look at your room a minute longer, get out the paint samples! Changing the color of your wall or bringing in new color accents through pillows, art and accessories will revitalize your old furnishing in a way which can be truly amazing, especially if your room has been that "safe" neutral, forever.

Tip #3
Always start with a floor plan, your room roadmap. Measure the space with a tape measure (not your big feet) before you go shopping or move existing furniture and record it on graph paper to guide your purchases. Remember, if it doesn't look right on the plan, it wont look better in the room.
