Renewing your home, for most, is a delightful and inspiring experiment, whereas, for others, it's daunting. Whether you're a first-time buyer or long-time resident, a handful of new home items are often the facelift or fresh start we're desperately in need of and, even more so, now in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.
At the moment, our aesthetic is one of the only things we have "control," making it now more influential than ever. Nevertheless, the concern of electing the incorrect furnishings and, more frightening, breaking the bank to invest in it? Well, that is a constant concern looming over us, ruining the process before we even get started.
Now, if you're looking to eliminate hesitation and ship it to the waste side when furnishing your digs, you're in luck— and we're here to help.
Considering design is in our wheelhouse, you're in luck; we're here to restore excitement and inspire inspiration —while also reminding you that style doesn't necessarily need to equate to expensive (though in some cases, it should).
For those looking to provide their residences with a much-needed facelift, we've curated a shortlist of five ways these home items will spring your space into style.
1. Start with a stunningly sharp sofa
First and foremost, let's start with a sofa. A sofa is undoubtedly one of the most-used furniture pieces in our homes and is bound to receive the most wear-and-tear over time. While a neutral-toned option — without any of the frills could seem practical— when you're investing an immeasurable amount into it, you're more inclined to sway towards something a bit more aesthetically appealing.
Our suggestion? Seek out subtle textures that'll elevate your room without overpowering it.

2. Maximize your space with the correct paint
Whether you're a renter or homeowner, it's safe to assume that paint is a small investment that grants a very large return — which is why it earns the number two spot on our list. From accent walls to full-fledged paint jobs, this non-committal, affordable investment is worth making.

3. Add in an accent piece
After choosing a sofa and paint job, you'll want to develop your room (or rooms), and the most reliable way to achieve just that is with some supporting accent pieces. Whether you're reaching for an accent table, coffee table, or pouf, there are a handful of various arrangements that will bring your vision to life.

4. Invest in lavish lighting
Investing in proper lighting fixtures can make a world of difference, and one with linen or paper shades will only secure your purchase even more. From high-quality floor lamps to wall scones, there are a dozen different ways to go here, and we're confident each will be as impressive as the last.

5. Make your rug a focal point
Similar to your bed frame or sofa, the rug you decide on will also be prone to wear-and-tear over time, so you might be a bit reluctant at first to make any purchase. Let us say: it's understandable but also workable; finding a high-quality piece that offers intricate detailing that can withstand the test of time is imperative and more attainable than you might think.
