Sellers: New Thinking To Make A Ro0m Pop

Transforming a room from ho-hum to hip can be time consuming and expensive, especially if you don't hire an interior decorator. With a few ideas from top designers, here are some insider tips to try around your home for a quick makeover without breaking the bank.

Lighting. Found a wonderful chandelier you don't have a place for your foyer or dining room? Try it out in a bedroom to bring instant glamour and elegance.

Seating. Who says that all your dining room chairs have to match? If you have some antique chairs from your grandmother - or an estate sale - blend them at the same table with other styles - and even colors - for an instant eye-opening change to your dining room or eat-in kitchen.

Surprises. If your tableware is boring bone or bland white, splash things up by adding a few brightly-hued plates and bowls in your favorite, unexpected color. Colors will make settings glow!

Bathrooms. Turn up the hues in the bathroom to create not only a feeling of warmth, but interest as well. Change out towel colors, rug textures and few wall hangings of outdoor scenes to bring nature inside.
Don't forget to use these tips if you're selling a home. Staging with a few unexpected accents can make your home memorable to the buyers coming through on tours.
