Refresh in time for the holidays

With the holidays here, people are preparing to host parties, dinners and more. Could your home’s interior use a refresh before the guests arrive?

Here are three ways you can liven up your home just in time to share it with friends and family.

• Add wood to your walls. Whether for a dining room, entryway or bedroom, adding wainscoting or a wood feature wall can dramatically change the look of the room by adding dimension, often making smaller spaces feel a bit bigger.

• Update a key piece of furniture. Breathe new life into a room by updating the color of existing furniture. To start, pick a key piece of furniture that is a focal point of your room, such as a dinner buffet or hutch. Apply a paint color that enhances the room’s interior, or introduce a bold color and accent it with new complementary accessories.

• Install upscale finishing touches. You can dramatically alter the look of any room by adding crown molding or trim. By placing crown molding — a decorative trim that bridges the gap between walls and ceilings — in a prominent visual location, your room will have just the architectural accent it needs to shine for the holidays.
