1. Paint: Pick one accent color. Whether this is a color for a mirror frame, a piece of furniture in the room, or a whole wall. Make sure it's a color you can live with, that you won't get tired of. Also, make sure and pick the right finish for your surface.2. A yard or two of fabric: I've made countless throw pillows for sofas, large floor poof-pillows, bolster pillows for bedrooms and small cushions for chairs which can spice up an old set of dining room chairs or can be just perfect as a seasonal accent. Don't know how to sew! That shouldn't be a problem. When recovering seat cushions on chairs you will just need a fabric staple gun. They also sell iron-on adhesive tape which can come in handy for small throw pillows.
3. Fold Away tray tables: You can find so many varieties of styles for these utilitarian pieces at every price range. I have found a very simple TV-tray table can serve as an excellent entry table for keys or a great place for a drink mixing station when two tray tables are placed together.
4. Hardware: Changing the hardware on a dresser, cabinets, or even a faucet in a powder bath can be a small change that had a big impact.
