Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Empty the room entirely. It is easier to envision fresh ideas from a clean slate. Stand there for a few moments and visualize how you want your room to look and feel.
Step2
Discard the predictable. Going with your favorite colors is great, but you can also go the other way. If you are attracted to natural tones, try painting one wall a bold color. Or go neutral in the room if the walls are bright and loud.
Step3
Recreate the space by changing the placement of your furniture. Just by laying out the room differently you can create an entirely new feeling.
Step4
Leave clutter out of your room makeover. Pack it up if you can't part with it and store it in attic. Going clutter-free will make your room appear spacious and airy.
Step5
Slip on a new cover. A different cover on a sofa or bed will change the look and feel of the room. If you keep it neutral, you'll have more design options later for another makeover.
Step6
Design your own art. Be creative and paint a watercolor or oil painting. Make distinctive pieces of pottery or challenge yourself to complete a wall mural.
Step7
Make over your space with accessories. Change the lamp shade, pillows and decorative pieces. Create atmosphere with new candles and adjustable lighting.
