Then keep reading to see our examples of some quick and easy artistic home updates.

Clean Up
Any artist will tell you that the best place to start is with a blank canvas. You don’t need to get rid of everything in a room, but staring at the same worn-out, outdated or uninspiring furniture or artwork can make it challenging to envision a space’s full potential. Take a tip from Marie Kondo; if a piece doesn’t bring you joy, then pass it onto someone else by donating to charity or selling it online.

Plan Your Vision
You can go old-school and use magazine clippings and a corkboard or spend hours going down the rabbit hole on Pinterest, but try to create a vision of how you want the room to look. Now that you have cleaned out your space, look at the items you have left and think about grabbing some inspiration from the color palette. Don’t shy away from incorporating a theme that is near and dear to you but try to stick to one bold feature in each room.

Photography and Posters
There is nothing more personal than photographs. Just because you are the type to take holiday shots of your meal than the landscape, doesn’t mean that you can’t find beautiful photos online to download and print. Alternatively, you might find that your friends would be flattered if you chose to highlight one of their pictures on your wall.

Posters are another art form that has previously had a bad rap but is coming back into fashion in a big way. In fact, some heritage posters are worth millions these days. If you are a movie buff, you can highlight this in your home, but rather than using thumbtacks like a teenager, update the look with a quality frame. You can also incorporate the color scheme throughout your room for a cohesive look.

Kitchens and Bathrooms
Renovating kitchens and bathrooms can add significant equity to your home, but it can also be costly, time-consuming, and messy. If your cupboards are still in good condition but are simply outdated, then getting them painted for a quick and easy artistic update. Rather than being limited to natural wood tones, you can go as wild as you want when it comes to paint colors. Adding new handles will instantly update the overall look.

Oftentimes, people only tend to update their décor when they move from one home to another; however, there is never a wrong time to add some artistic flair. The right décor updates can make you feel happier and more content in your own domain, all of which we can certainly use a dose of right now.
