18 simple home decorating ideas that will make a big difference in 2022
1. magnetic garage handles/faux windows
Add magnetic garage handles and faux windows that'll bring some serious curb appeal to your home for an EXTREMELY small fraction of the price of getting some carriage-style doors. They're pricey as heck. These magnets are not.
Get them from Amazon for $11.66+ (available in several sets and variations)
2. window film
Kick the blinds to the curb and get some privacy without the cord (it can be dangerous for kids and pets!) by applying a window film that'll still let in SO much light. I did this to my bathroom window and congratulate myself for it every day.
Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in seven sizes).
3. metallic spray paint
Refinish tired metal furniture with some metallic spray paint for a weekend afternoon project that'll have substantial payoff. Just look at that zhuzhed bistro set!
