All you need is a little patience, practice, and some helpful advice.

Therefore change the cushions on your couch and perhaps that lampshade. Be creative with what you already have. Paint some existing furniture.

Colour choice is a very personal decision so make sure you choose a colour trend that you love, so whether you are changing your décor or repainting, it must reflect your personality and your style. After all, it is your space to enjoy in the end. Colour is even more exciting when we realize how it affects the way we see a space. Colour can alter our perception of a room’s size and shape. Different colours and even different values of the same colour have different effects. Lighter and cooler colours tend to recede they appear further away. Darker colours and warmer colours advance, they appear to move towards us. We can use this concept to make a space look larger or smaller change the shape of space draw attention to focal points and positive aspects of a space and hide or minimize the not-so-attractive features.
