Designer Crystal Bailey revealed how to make changes that infuse more vitality into home decor by following some simple steps. Bailey, who has worked as an interior designer for 10 years, advised the Daily Mail on five rules to achieve a lively home on a budget, as follows:
1. **Bring Nature Indoors**
According to Bailey, adding flowers or foliage to the interior decor makes a significant difference and brings more life to the home. She also recommends buying some indoor plants if the budget allows.
2. **Creative Use of Paint**
Bailey states that paint is a fantastic way to change a space and add vitality through bright colors for smaller areas, which can be applied to furniture and walls.
3. **Bold Colors**
Bold colors can be used in cushions or artworks and can help brighten up smaller spaces.
4. **Artworks**
Bailey suggests that adding artworks or paintings can fill empty wall spaces and add more movement to them. She recommends using larger artworks that make small areas appear more spacious.
5. **Rehabilitate Old Items**
Cheap or old furniture can be rehabilitated to look expensive with some decor tricks, such as updating a coffee table with a new coat of paint. These touches can elevate the home's appearance.
