Add a Rug

A room can be completely transformed by simply adding a rug to your space. By allowing the rug to become the focal point of your room, you are able to add a fun twist to your already existing furniture and paint color. Try for cheerful patterns or bright colors to really liven up your home. Take a look at these Mohawk Home rugs below to see how you can revamp your space with the simple addition of a rug.

Plants & Flowers

Time to bring the outside… in. Plants are a great way to brighten your home due to their natural refreshing ability to bring life to a boring room. The fresh scents and beautiful colors are sure to revive your home, leaving it smelling great and looking even better.

Paint

Bright, fun paint colors on the wall are a great way to turn your home from drab to fab. You may be hesitant to experiment with these types of colors; however, don’t be afraid to step outside the box and go for cheerful colors such as yellows, greens, or blues.
