Is your house feeling bland and you’re wanting to use paint to create interest? There are so
many different colors and shades of paint, where do you even begin? Let’s talk about choosing
an accent wall first and selecting a color from there.
The age-old question: Should I buy or should I rent? It’s one that many people grapple with, whether they’re dipping their toes into the housing market for the first time or considering a change in

Make a splash in any space with paint! As an interior designer, I’ve seen the power of paint
shine through when it comes to remodels big and small. Paint can have such a huge impact
whether you’re refreshing the existing paint or starting from scratch and selecting a new paint
color for a space. Painting can be a larger project especially if you are doing it yourself, but the
after effects can change the entire look of a space.
I recently remodeled some spaces in my home, in the living room we didn’t make any changes
except for the trim paint which was changed from a light grey (thanks to the previous owner
basically painting everything grey including the outlets) to the standard white trim color that I
use in every project. Wow! It made a huge difference and made everything look more refreshed
and crisp!
When it comes to basic wall paint, I always recommend neutral colors to my clients. Paint in my
opinion should be a basic backdrop for everything else in the space, then color can be added in
art, rugs, throw pillows and accessories. If an accent wall is wanted in a space, make sure you
pick a color that you already love (instead of what is trending) that way it can make a long
lasting impact on your space and you will be able to keep the accent wall for years to come.
Check out some of the paint colors I recommend all the time on my Pinterest. I’ll continue this
series next month to talk about accent colors I love that are still neutral and timeless.

One of the easiest ways to instantly update a room without spending a lot of time or money is
by swapping out the floor register covers throughout your home. Do you have old or beat up
register covers? They make so many amazing and interesting register covers these days! When
we bought our house, the register covers were the originally dark brown and very basic covers.
We opted to switch them out for a brushed nickel finish and interesting pattern and let me tell
you it made all the difference! The register cover options are endless! They make multiple
finishes and patterns to add a touch of style in any room. The best part about this swap is that it
literally takes minutes to accomplish, which is the best kind of project! When selecting a finish
for the register, I’d consider matching the color of your flooring as closely as possible or for a
consistent look throughout you could match the door hardware or another standard finish you
have throughout your home. They are a relatively standard size across the board but I would
double check the measurements of your existing registers just to be sure. I love the look of ours
and although they blend in quite nicely it is a wonderful extra touch that goes a long way not
only in the look of the room but also the functionality (no bent up grates and the vents open
and close easily). This is a great project if you’re looking for a quick change that you can do
yourself! Check out some of my favorite floor registers on my Pinterest!

Let’s talk about ceiling fans. This is a great option for updating a home that can be a very simple swap. Ceiling fans are such a functional piece in a home that can help circulate air but may also be a sole source of lighting in a bedroom or living room. I often see clients with outdated ceiling fans and there are so many options these days that are much more streamlined and provide many options when it comes to lighting levels, blade speed and remotes to make turning on the fan so effortless. If you already have a ceiling fan in place and just want to swap out the fixture, it is a pretty straightforward change because the electrical and bracket to support the fixture is already in place. If you are wanting to change a flush mount fixture or other light fixture to a ceiling fan, it can be a little more complicated. While the electrical could already be in place an additional support bracket may be required. Light fixtures can be such a simple upgrade in your home and ceiling fans have the additional functionality to completely transform a space.
