Quick, Easy Ways to Spruce Up Any Room!

It's a Tuesday evening and you walk in from a long day at the office. You're exhausted and walk into your dull and drab living room and flop onto the couch. Your significant other comes home, and utters the words that everyone dreads: "My parents are coming to visit! THIS weekend!" You take a look at your less than gorgeous home decor and panic. No time to redecorate? Think again!

Here are a few incredibly quick and easy ways to give your home a quick facelift:

Add a Pop of Color
Tip #2
1.) Cover Furniture-Slipcovers are the best and easiest way to make furniture look new. Consider reversible ones -- a wintry color on one side and summery white linen on the other. If you're looking for someone to sew a slipcover, check the bulletin boards in fabric store.

Add an Area Rug
Tip #3
2.)  Add a Pop of Color-"You can't go wrong with a fun yellow throw pillow in any room." A few accents in citrus hues add a level of interest to any color scheme.

3.) Add an Area Rug- A rug anchors a furniture grouping, promotes an orderly feeling, and defines a space.

Look for Bare Areas
Tip #4
4.)  Look for Bare Areas- Ask yourself what simple items could add interest. A change may be as easy as rearranging furniture or putting an oversize potted plant in a corner.
