Well-designed rooms don't always have to come with a huge price tag; in fact, designing on a budget may be easier than you think. Many times, by changing small elements, you can give a room an entirely new personality. Sometimes adding a few colorful pillows or picking up a paintbrush is all you need to do to make your room look like something out of the pages of a magazine. The Power of Paint One of the most common fixes for a boring room is color. "Color is easy to do and inexpensive," says Kathy Browning, owner of Design Consultants, a design firm in Virginia Beach, Va. Updating the color of just one wall in any room will give it an entirely new feel. Painting, when approached correctly, can be an enjoyable experience with instant rewards. Lauren Warnock, an interior designer based in Chicago, reminds home owners that warmer colors can make a room feel cozier and more inviting. Cooler colors like grey or "stark white," on the other hand, may give a room a more industrial feeling. "Light airy colors open up a space, while deep, darker colors can make a room appear smaller," Warnock says.
