StyleAdvice: 5 Ways to Update Your Space For Cheap! - Stylehive

With interior decoration styles changing every 17 minutes (we calculated it), it€™s difficult to stick to one without wondering what one might be missing.

Luckily there are places one can shop for fleeting trends without breaking the bank, and tricks one can learn that make even one's hopelessly out-of-style stuff look new again!

One is so lucky.

1. Small Surface, Big Color
Break out your inner Picasso and choose one piece of furniture or one surface to paint. Bright or unexpected colors work well here, so give your chair, dresser, or even just one wall a makeover and watch what it does for your room. We love Anna Sova€™s gorgeous colors and eco-friendly philosophy.

2. Sleeping Patterns
Changing up your bedding doesn۪t have to be expensive. Retailers like Urban Outfitters and Target carry affordable, original quilts and bedspreads. Don۪t worry if the prints or colors don۪t coordinate perfectly with the your old d̩cor. Done right, a little mismatching adds intrigue. Simply adding a new throw pillow or two can liven up a room as well.

3. (Your) Image Is Everything
Not only can mirrors open up smaller spaces, they can also add new dimension and perspective to larger ones. Try one with unique touches like this one from Elsewares, or create this look by arranging many smaller ones.

4. Picture Perfect
Photos are probably the easiest way to add charm and originality to your room, and there are unlimited ways to do so. Mix and match mountable photo frames for an eclectic look, or create a photo collage to be placed in a glass frame and lay it flat on a desk for an alternative to a plain surface. Target has plenty of photo frames for less than $10, and yard sales are even cheaper!

5. No Spare Change? Just Rearrange!
Too busy to roll up your sleeves and dig up the brushes? Posters and wall decals are easy and removable if you just want a temporary fix. Consider framing a few favorite posters or prints in various sizes and mount the frames in a cluster on your wall. Even just moving a few pieces around can offer a refreshing change. This would be the time to try incorporating a little feng shui... you know you're curious! The ancient practice says that your bed should be approachable from both sides and not in line with your door. As a bonus, once you're done moving the bed, you'll finally see where all of those old Vogues have been hiding.
