With all the new offerings in interior paint colors, furniture styles and fabrics and decorating themes, it is hard to resist getting the itch to try something different. Particularly if you are retired or spend time working from home, switching up your interiors can breath new life into your space. At the same time, it can be hard to justify the costs of investing in new decor, when your current furnishings are still in good condition. This is where our Phoenix storage units come in. Providing a safe, secure place to keep your belongings, a storage unit allows you unlimited options in making purchases to update your home’s style and tempo, while allowing you to hold on to what you currently own for future design use. Redesigning Your Living Space Maybe it has been a while since you redecorated your home, or maybe the things you currently have were never bought with the intention of creating a particular style. Either way, you can upgrade and improve the overall value of your home and make it more inviting for you and your family with just a few simple touches. The home makeover and DIY experts at HGTV have gained huge success with shows in which interior decorators and designers create completely new looks in old spaces. Oftentimes, they do it by building on the items people already have, while adding in some new updates. Decorating elements that can help redesign your space and give it a new feel include the following: Rustic touches, incorporating unfinished woods and earthy colors; Victorian influences, using antiques found at yard sales and rich, floral fabrics; Beach cottage looks, with rattan furnishings and beachy accents; Modern décor, with streamlined designs and updated fixtures; Minimalist style, incorporating monochromatic colors and lots of open space; Southwestern style, showcasing local influences and craft items found in the area. When planning your new design, you may want to change paint colors, while removing things that do not mix style wise. A Phoenix storage unit is an easy and economically smart option to use, as it allows you to keep things in good condition or with sentimental value, without having to waste space in closets or storage sheds. Adding New Decor To Your Space Adding a few new items can make a huge change in your home’s overall feel. At the same time, it often requires the elimination of some furnishings that may still be relatively new and in good shape. A Phoenix storage unit allows you to store accent pieces safely and at a reasonable price, with the option of incorporating them again in your design plans at a future date. By switching out certain furnishings on a regular basis, not only does your home stay fresh and stylish, but it increases the ‘shelf life’ of furnishings you use on a regular basis. Good Housekeeping recommends using a few different home furnishings as a way of creating the look and feel you want: Throw rugs: Switch out one color for another or opt for a patterned accent rug instead; Accent chairs: Upholstered accent chairs are relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of fabrics and designs; Window coverings: Draperies and blinds act as frames for your windows, allowing you to create a look that is open and breezy in the summer, or cozy and comfy in the fall; Wallhangings: A new painting, a group of photos, or a beveled mirror can all create drama or act as anchors for a room; Various décor: Lamps, baskets, sculptures, collections, and side tables can be bought in a variety of sizes and colors, and are perfect for adding style to your rooms.
