If you’re like most people. you can become bored looking at the same old interior every day. However, like most people, you probably don’t have it in your budget to completely redecorate or renovate your home every year. Minor cosmetic changes, like adding a few modern rugs from a quality source like Roth Rugs in the right spot, can do a lot to update the look of your home without spending a whole lot of money.
Change Your Handles

Create Inexpensive, Changeable Art
Art work can bring interest to nay spot or hide flaws in a wall that you can’t fix right away, like uneven areas or cracks. However, art doesn’t have to be expensive.

Whether you highlight one large framed piece or create interesting groupings, you’re limited only by imagination, and you can change the scenery at will.
Place Throw Rugs and Mats
If you have a stone, wood or vinyl floor or a monochromatic color scheme that’s looking a little bland, add a pop of color with a mat or rugs. The designs run the gamut from cute to classic and modern to exotic. You can pair them with a new window shade in the same color family.
Resurface Your Cabinets or Appliances
