Keep it the same but change it up

An exercise in doublethink: you can keep it the same, yet change the look.

In other words, the next time you feel the urge to do a room re-do but don't have the energy for a full-on makeover, simply keep the bones of the room the same and change up the sofa, cushions, artwork and accessories.

Admittedly the first look is a little blah, but keep in mind the time of day is different here so the colours aren't popping as nicely.

But I do tend to prefer this look as the jewel tones pop out more. It's nice to know there's a designer's solution for a gal who craves change in her pad but is often too busy or lazy to move all the furniture around.

Often, rotating the accessories and switcherooing the loveseats can do wonders. Then the fun comes in re-jigging the accessories; you can just let go and play.

P.S. Most of the furniture and accessories here are either thrifted or from the trash!
