You can take a vacuum cleaner and go all out with the cleaning of carpets and couches and whatnot. Remember to look for bedbugs on all wooden furniture. If you do spot a few of them on any wood surface, it’s time for you to look for the creatures on all of your furniture around the house.

Natural Light

It is scientifically proven that sunlight helps boost one’s mood and adds to the overall productivity of the inhabitants of any space. So when you are done cleaning up (As mentioned before), it would be ideal for you to open all the windows and blinds. Put the curtains to the side and let all the daylight to stream inside. The fresh light will let you see all the space that you have and also inspire you in the right direction.

Pillows

The quickest and easiest way to transform any space is by sprucing up the throw pillows. Many people tend to have different sets of throw pillows for different seasons. Pastels for summer, reds, and mustard for fall, and sparkly for the holidays.

Rugs

Rugs may seem like an insignificant, silent element in interior decoration, but they play a critical role in accentuating spaces. If you like airy, breezy rooms, then you can add a neutral rug where the light reflects, to create an illusion of more space. This idea works well for studio apartments and also generally small spaces.

Another way to spice up the look of your lounge is the addition of a printed rug in the center of the space. The patterns would attract attention and distract people from any sense of dread that a lack of light could produce. Many designers tend to incorporate basic rugs with minimal designs to enlarge the area. Moreover, the trick always works.

Walls

It’s common knowledge that a wall of art is the best way to transform any room, anywhere. You can make a memory wall by putting photographs of yourself, your family, or even different milestones of your life. Another great idea is the placement of a map, with marks on the places that you have visited, or would like to attend. You can put painting from local artists or even creations of your own.

Alternatively, you can add an accent wall by painting it in a contrasting color. If you do not wish to decorate your walls, you can also look for wallpapers that suit your inspirations. The world is now a better place due to the availability of customized wallpapers. So if you wish to embellish your wall with your stick-figure-wallpapers, no is the time to get one!
