Sometimes a home just needs a lift, not a renovation. Changing the lighting, adding art to bare walls or bringing in a new throw can make a room feel completely different.
Where to shop: all the picks below are from Rockett St George, a UK home store known for bold, colourful and quirky homeware. We've picked affordable pieces that make a big difference.
Simple ways to refresh your home
- Change the lighting. Swap a plain ceiling shade, and add table lamps for warm, cosy light in the evening.
- Fill bare walls. Prints, wall hangings and mirrors make a room feel finished.
- Add texture. A faux fur throw instantly makes a sofa or bed cosier.
- Bring in plants. Group planters for a fresh, lived-in feel.
- Declutter first. Clear surfaces make new pieces stand out.

Common questions
What is the cheapest way to update a room?
Declutter, rearrange the furniture and change small things like cushions, a lampshade or wall art.
Where should I put table lamps?
On side tables, sideboards and bedside tables. Several small lamps make a room feel much cosier than one bright ceiling light.
How high should I hang wall art?
A good rule is to hang it so the centre is about 145 to 150cm from the floor.
