12 Tips for Accessorizing Your Home:

1. Make It Personal. Add mementos and family photos. Or try souvenirs from your favorite vacations.

2. Use Accent Colors. When adding accent colors, repeat the color at least three times in a room. Try painting just one wall an inviting accent color. Be as bold or subtle as you like. You could even try new artwork or repainting pieces of furniture.

3. Create Interest With Height. Vary the height of table top accessories for a different look.

4. Rearrange Art. Create a more formal look with symmetrical art arrangements. Create a more informal look with asymmetrical artwork. Use easels, bookcases or table tops to display art.

5. Use Mirrors. Place mirrors to reflect your favorite view or artwork. Use them to add dimension, expand a small space or add light.

6. Rearrange Furniture. Pull pieces away from the walls and try to find new, more welcoming angles, and you will find a whole new look and feel for your room.

7. Bring The Outside In. Plants will freshen up any room. And if you don't have a green thumb, try succulents or artifical plants. You could even put pictures of plants on the walls or decorative plates.

8. Update Rugs. Go bold or more calm, whatever your style. Add a rug under a coffee table or at the front door.

9. Make A Collage. Add a custom frame to your collage. Make it a collage of pictures or magazine clippings, or even objects.

10. Update Your Bathroom. Change fixtures. Add more lighting or a different type of lighting to completely change the atmosphere.

11. Change Up Lamps. Mix and match lamp bases and shades for more of an urban look.

12. Add Wallpaper. Add a border or add wallpaper to just one wall to give the room a little more texture.

20 Low-Budget Ideas For Home Improvement:

1. Rearrange your furniture. It's free, so why not? Start with the largest piece and work your way down. If nothing else seems to work, try angling a sofa, chair, or bed that's against the wall.

2. Just a touch of paint can transform your house. Try a warm color for a more welcoming home or bolder colors to add excitement.

3. Paint crown molding and trim a glossy white to add interest. The crisp color will make any room seem grander.

4. A trendy knob brings a nightstand to life.

5. Start an art collection.

6. Restyle your bed. It's all about layering.

7. Start with the skirt first, a box-pleat skirt for a tailored look or a skirt that contrasts with the color of the floor will frame the bed and give it visual weight.

8. Fold back the flat sheet for a surprise color or pattern.

9. Top the bed with a woven blanket, coverlet, or quilt. A solid color will keep the room calm.

10. Lay a folder duvet, comforter, or blanket across the foot of the bed. This is the place for the most color or pattern.

11. Add accent pillows and prop sleeping pillows against the headboard or wall.

12. At ribbon to a lampshade with fabric glue or customize curtains by adding rows of ribbon along the bottom.

13. A teacup or decorative bowl makes an attractive organizer for your desk or dresser.

14. Ungroup matched sets. Identical end tables, night stands, or lamps can make a room seem like a furniture store. Swap our one of the pare for something in another room. But some things are better together. Framed photos or pottery for example have more presence and seem more like a collection when they're not scattered around.

15. Use a serving tray to display accessories or turn an ottoman into a coffee table.

16. Hang curtains at ceiling height, even if your windows don't extend that far and choose a bold color or pattern.

17. Get the look of big art with small pieces you already have. Gather different sizes and shapes of paintings, plates, and mirrors to mass a wallscape above a sofa or bed, then hang the collage by using adhesive-backed hooks.

18. A folding screen does wonders for defining spaces and hiding clutter.

19. Lower your art. Most people hang it too high, to gauge the right height, pretend you're looking in a mirror. You shouldn't have to look up at it.

20. Turn a bedspread into curtains if standard panels are too short.
