There are so many ways to update a space, so here are just five of my favourites that don’t require huge overhauls.

1. Paint a wall - This is not a big committment, but it can have really big impact. Choose a darker colour than the other three walls to be sure it stands out as a feature wall. And it doesn’t have to be a full wall either.

2. Change out the hardware - This can be as small as just changing the knobs in your bathroom, to a full overhaul of all the hardware in your home, including door knobs and hinges.

3. Change out the lighting - This can have huge impact. Consider a room at a time, or the whole house for even bigger impact.

4. Buy a new piece of furniture - It doesn’t have to be expensive or even new. A beautiful second-hand piece from a store like Elle & Eve could make a big update. Consider a new coffee table; a new end table; a new bench; a new accent chair; or anything else that doesn’t necessarily cost a fortune.

5. Add plants - Plants are never out of style, but the trends sometimes give them center stage… which is now. Make a big difference to your existing ones with new planters, or perhaps add a large ‘tree’ for your indoor space. You don’t have to go overboard, but you can! They’re plants and they’re healthy to have.
