As many times as you told yourself not to, you did it anyway. You picked up a home improvement magazine in the store and flipped through it. All of the rooms featured in the magazine look so great. Why can’t your house look like that? Well, with a little work (and perhaps some replacement windows in Claremont, CA, it’s possible that it can. Any room, large or small, can be made to look nicer with the right touches. Here are a few ideas to help you figure out what your space might need.

De-Clutter

In any of the pictures that you have seen of well put together rooms, are there stacks of mail on the coffee tables? Are there markers, crafts, and random receipts on the countertops? Of course not. And while you need to live in your house and it might not be practical to keep everything clear all of the time, the more you can de-clutter, the better any room will look. Try organizing things into small or large bins. You can hide bins inside coffee tables and end tables and keep the spaces themselves clear more of the time. The less you have in a room, the larger it looks. And de-cluttering can take the stress from your life as well.

Add Color

While interior decorators say that in order to bring in more natural light, you want a light wall color in the space. You might have that, but it might make the room look rather neutral and boring. That’s okay because you can add color in other ways. Make your home look like a magazine with a pop of bright colors in the area rug, in the throw pillows, the art, or even in some artistic-looking lamps. Adding color in the right places can really bring the room to a new, magazine level.

Get Replacement Windows

You won’t ever see old, broken-down windows in a magazine and if that’s what you have in your space, they need to go. New windows can bring in more light, make space look larger and more open, and allow you to show a sense of style through their colors, hardware, and other individual choices. Once you have the windows installed, and a new, fresh look in the space, you will be able to see what other things you might need to do in order to make the room look like it should go in a magazine.
