Ancestry Gallery Wall With Thrifted Frames And B&w Photos Of Family (My Quarantine Project)
What if you want to change up your home but redecorating the whole room sounds too intimidating of a project? Well, no worries, you can always start small.
Probably the fastest way to change up the mood in a room is to install new light fixtures. They can really bring the whole room together and add a little bit of charm to it. So, forget about boring, everyday ceiling lamps and replace it with something more interesting. That could be a new material such as rattan or even feathers or an original shape that catches your eye.

If you wish to keep away from handling all sorts of wiring, you can simply buy a charming-looking floor lamp. Those come in various shapes and sizes these days and can be dimmable.
For those who don’t have the space on the floor, know that peel and stick sconces are also widely available. They are battery operated, so you won’t need to mess with electricity either, just charge them once in a while. If needed, you can even get ones that have motion detectors.
Moody Victorian/Dark Academia Bathroom Reno!
Tried To Transform This Corner Under The Stairs
Put the plant in the low corner with a small floor uplight behind it to brighten that dark space. A tall flor lamp behind the chair would give warm light for reading. The furnishings are nice - but the lighting is off at the moment. Super easy fix. :)
Agree, it doesn't yet look like the cozy reading corner it could be.

Talking about peel and stick products, there are so many of them out there that can help you spruce up your walls, floors, and ceilings. The most obvious one is, of course, peel and stick wallpaper. The style selection you can find online is amazing! Everything from a solid color of your choice to a mural-like, one-of-a-kind art piece is available, you just need to look.

Once you get a pattern you like, don’t be afraid to experiment with it, too. Cut it up to make an arch, use it on your stairs, or line your bookshelves and kitchen cabinets with it. Put it on your ceiling to add extra umph to your space. Get peel and stick tiles and use it as a backsplash in your kitchen or even use it to cover up old flooring—the possibilities are endless.

However, no one will blame you if you find temporary wallpaper projects a bit too intimidating. With all the measuring and precision that it needs, it certainly can be a challenge. So, start small and get yourself a lovely rug. Just like wallpaper, they come in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of patterns and colors that can breathe life into a room.

Love this one! Especially the chair and the carpet. All the colours work really well together.
Somewhere in between taking hours and hours of time to glue something onto a wall and slapping a rug you just bought onto the floor is changing the cabinet handles in the kitchen. Don’t get us wrong, it’s a project too. You will need to choose from an array of different knobs and bar pulls and take your time replacing each one. But the end result will be worth it.

I like this kind of post as well, but too many dark tones. YUCK I'M DEPRESSED ENOUGH ALREADY
