1. Prints & Patterns
Playful prints and bold patterns give detail to mono tone décor. If you love whites you can add shimmer or a bold print that has white hints. Whatever color your pallet is, choose prints or patterns that will have those colors in your décor.

2. Lighting
So you invested in some beautiful lamps a few years ago but you are either no longer like the color or design of the lamp. Don’t fret; all you have to do is buy lampshades. Changing your lampshades will drastically change the appearance of your lamp. You can mix or match each season or every two years, depending on how often you redecorate.

3. Floor treatments
The floor is one of the most forgotten, yet most used parts of your home. Flooring can be very expensive depending on the treatment used to build the home. Investing in your floors will relieve future headaches from occurring. If you don’t have the funds try bright floor rugs and floor mats. They are easy to clean and you can move them around.

4. Correct Dark rooms?
Dark rooms are a common problem. If your home doesn’t get enough sunlight, get yourself a big beautiful mirror. Mirrors reflect light back into the room and make them brighter.

5. Pillows and Cushions
We love scatter cushions and pillows! These are the most affordable and simplest way to add pops of color to an old couch or sofa. They also add details to dreary or bland décor. Don’t be afraid to mix primary colors together or mix and match embellished scatter pillows with embroidered cushions. Having an eclectic collage of pillows adds comfort and vivid colors to any interior.

6. Texture
This is one of the neglected forms of design in the summer. We tend to focus a lot on bright and bold colors, yet texture can make its own statement similar to color. Mosaics are a beautiful and elaborate design schemes. You can add mosaics to any decor as a focal point. Surround the mosaic with your favorite pieces and let the textured focal point do the magic.
