5 small, yet stylish changes that will totally change the look of your room

In this article we'll be looking at five small yet stylish changes that will totally transform the look of your room. Whether your room is for working or living in, these small changes can make a big difference.

Many of us spend a large majority of our time indoors, especially those of us who work from home. It's important to make your living space as pleasant as possible.

Start by de-cluttering and organising any paperwork on your table or desk. Just making this one very simple task part of your daily life can boost productivity and make you feel energised.

1. Paint something

Painting a worn looking chair can instantly transform it into an attractive feature. Paint a shelf. Turn boring wooden shelves become beautiful storage spaces that fit in with your decor.

Organise your books or DVDs so they're easy to find on your lovely new shelf. You'll feel pleased with yourself that you made the effort.

2. Hang more than one mirror

There is no better way to make a small room look bigger and more spacious than with mirrors. One mirror is fine but adding several more creates a feeling of light. Position them so they reflect light back into the room. Opposite a window or in a dark corner are good places to hang a mirror.

3. Place flowers where you can see them

A vase of fresh cut flowers not only adds beauty to a room but lifts your mood as well. Placing flowers where you're able to see them makes you feel good and even increases productivity.

Flowers can completely change the look and feel of any room. A dull office space suddenly looks bright and alive. A living room can look welcoming with a vase of flowers. Just what you need when you arrive home after a long day.

4. Let old be new again

Rather than throw away objects because they're old, revive them. Retro is chic and adds character. Either revamp something you already own or buy a retro imitation.

1950s style lamps are very popular. Placing a 1950s style Tiffany lamp on desk a or table can totally change the character of your room.

Add to this feel by installing a chic 1950s style telephone on your desk. Retro phones can add a nostalgic feel to your home office, taking you back to a bygone era. PMC Telecom offer impartial advice for business telecommunication solutions.

5. Place a textured pillow
