Do you ever feel like your home needs a facelift but don’t have the time or budget for a full-scale renovation? We understand. Life in the Joplin area can be busy, and sometimes all you need is a quick, impactful change to breathe new life into your living space. At Joplin Decorating Center, we believe that the secret to a happy home isn’t always a complete overhaul—it’s often a single, focused room refresh that can be completed in just one weekend.
A room refresh is about making intentional, thoughtful changes that have a big impact. It’s about working with what you have and adding key elements that elevate the entire space. Here are a few simple ways you can transform a room in a weekend, turning it from tired to inspired.
Start with a Fresh Perspective: Rearranging Furniture
One of the most cost-effective and immediate ways to change the feel of a room is to simply rearrange the furniture. Pulling a sofa a few inches away from the wall can make the room feel more spacious and inviting. Shifting a desk to face a window can open up the view and make a home office feel more productive. Before you buy anything new, take a moment to consider a new layout. This simple act can give your space a completely different flow and energy, helping you see it in a whole new light.
Update Your Textiles for Instant Coziness
Perhaps the easiest and most effective way to refresh a room is by updating the textiles. We see it all the time with our clients here in Joplin. New throw pillows, a cozy blanket draped over a chair, or a beautiful new area rug can instantly introduce new colors, patterns, and textures. These small changes can add depth and warmth, making a room feel more layered and inviting. Consider swapping out old curtains for a fresh new set of window treatments that not only look great but also change the way light filters into the room. At Joplin Decorating Center, we offer a wide selection of custom window treatments and beautiful fabrics that are perfect for this very purpose.
Add a Touch of Nature and Personality
Bringing the outdoors in is a timeless design trick. Adding a large potted plant, a few fresh-cut flowers, or a simple tree branch can instantly add life and a sense of calm to a space. Beyond plants, consider personal touches. A new piece of artwork, a curated selection of your favorite photos, or a new decorative vase can serve as a new focal point and tell a unique story about your home.
Even the smallest changes can make a world of difference. Maybe it’s a new lamp to brighten a dark corner, a fresh coat of paint on a single accent wall, or a simple decluttering session to open up the space. The goal is to make your home feel more “you.”
