Add paint to your walls
While it may seem like an obvious piece of advice, choosing challenging or compelling colors can really liven up any space in your home, according to Yael Meromy of the home staging and interior design firm Studio D.
“This might seem obvious, but a lot of people don’t realize that something as simple (not to mention inexpensive and totally DIY-able) as a fresh coat of paint can completely elevate and transform a space into a sleek, chic and shiny-new version of its former self,” he says.
