Now, if you have a floral arrangement in your home that's looking a bit off, this might be the thing you need to do. Specifically, if you have artificial stems, branches, or florals, a lot of those stems come at a very long length and you're supposed to bend the bottom of them or cut the bottom of them to fit your vase properly. A mistake I see a lot is people just sticking those long stems into a vase and it really looks off. You see a lot of stems hanging out. It doesn't look proportionate to the vase or the room. So it's all about finding that right length of stem for the vase so it really looks correct. I actually like getting stems that are really long so I can adjust the length of them to really fit any vase in our home. You can leave some a little longer, some a little shorter, so you can fill out your vase really nicely. I think you should see a lot of those florals as soon as the vase ends. You don't want to see a lot of that artificial stem coming out. So make it look as realistic as possible by creating a better length for those stems. Now, if you want to create a new look in your space, you have the urge to redecorate. First, start by emptying all your surfaces. Sometimes it's easier to see your space in a new way by seeing it somewhat empty. It's way easier to come up with new ideas when you can kind of see a blank canvas. So remove all of your items and then start redecorating with only 60% of your decor. sometimes the problem is that you have too much and taking out 40% of that decor will actually open up your space really highlight all of your decor pieces and furniture and give your space a new look then you can redecorate another space with all of those extra items so it's a really great way of just kind of reimagining things in your home for free super easily sometimes we spend too much time finding the perfect piece for that perfect location and we never ever move it but remember that decor is not permanent. You can have a lot of fun just by it being a little bit more casual if you're decorating to create a whole new look. Another little floral arrangement decorating trick is just to swap out your vase or vessel for a different size. When you're creating a floral arrangement you really want to have the right opening size to your vase. If you have a really tight opening and you're sticking florals inside it looks very off and you create a really tall and skinny look that might not work for your space. If you have a lot of stems, you really want to find a vessel that has about a six inch opening to create a really big moment. Something I always recommend doing when decorating and that's creating levels. Use what you already have on your coffee table, in your bookshelves, maybe on your sofa already. Just create levels with what you have. So find a small piece with a medium piece and a large piece to create a cluster and that's going to give you a more dynamic look. If you look around your space and things are kind of a little too in line, that's when you know you have to create levels. Sometimes when I'm redecorating, I find two items that I really like and I want to put together, but they are way too close in size and it really gives you that flat effect. So I always just stack books underneath one of those pieces to create a higher or lower effect and give you the levels that way. That way you can use your existing decor just by stacking something underneath it and giving it a brand new look. This is when shifting things around your space and just reimagining your space really makes a big difference. Maybe your side chair doesn't looks so great just sitting on its own. Maybe pairing it with a tall floor lamp that you already have and a little stool or ottoman will make the world of a difference. Having that low, medium, and high level will make your space look complete and really look intentionally designed. When a space is becoming a little boring or not looking right, I always shop my own home first before looking for anything new. You can always make your home look better by using items that you already have that might just be in a different room so go into your bedroom go into your dining room go into your laundry room find something that you really love and just swap it out with something else in your space i love to steal ottomans from our living room bring them into the entryway to create a stool experience i love doing this with small art it's very easy to interchange small art around your home and having a noticeably different art piece on your wall always makes your space look refreshed and better. So I always recommend just being casual with your art. Art doesn't have to be permanent in your home. You can easily take it off the wall, bring it somewhere new. You can shop your home with lamps, throw pillows, throw blankets, ottomans, accent chairs, benches, little side tables. You can also do this with cabinets and dressers. Dressers look great in an entryway. They create a lot of storage and they're the exact height that you would need to style a mirror, a lamp and create a whole entryway experience so maybe it's that unexpected piece that you wouldn't have thought about that's gonna make for the perfect look in your space now if you have a wall mirror mounted in your home make sure that you pair it with a light fixture this could be a lamp it could be a sconce it could even be a candle and having that light reflecting off the mirror really brightens up your home and that simple pairing just works every time and really makes your space look intentionally designed so lamps light fixtures candles really work well with mirrors because they're reflecting all that light around the space you get even more light than you'd expect so if you have a wall mounted mirror in your home that doesn't currently have any kind of light fixture around it bring one in for a really designer look now one item in a home that a lot of people don't think to ever interchange or swap out is their rug again rugs are not permanent you can move them from one room to another if the size works i've moved our family room rug from the family room into our baby's nursery and created a brand new look in that space without having to buy a new rug, which made me very happy. So use your rugs in new ways wherever you can. Of course, this works really well if you have multiple rugs in your home that you really like and you have kind of a home color palette that's very interchangeable. I always recommend decorating your home with a common color palette so that interchanging your decor is easy and always work. I wanted to go for a more moody look in this room last year so we just swapped out this lighter rug for a darker rug to really bring in those fall colors and it just transformed the space so quickly. So sometimes it's just the rug that needs to change and that's what makes the biggest difference. So look at your decor but also look at those larger items in your home like your rug. Redecorating and refreshing your home is all about just restyling those staples that you already have we all do the same thing with our wardrobes we use those staples in a new way every single day these are my cut from the cloth jeans i showed you before and last time i mentioned them to you guys so many of you guys said that you love cut from the cloth as well and i totally see why you can just live in these jeans they're so comfortable the stretch is so great and i always get compliments on these when i wear them out especially this bottom hem it's just a really wide hem that gives it a lot more style and i feel like that elevates the look of these jeans even more but these are the first and only pair of jeans i've been wearing postpartum and i feel like they're giving me the confidence that i really needed my favorite cut is always a wide leg cut with a higher waist because i feel like it gives you a really nice silhouette you can tuck a shirt in you can wear a tight shirt and it just kind of gives you a nice silhouette so this is always my go-to look i can spend all day in these playing with rowan working from home wearing them out and about dressing them up for the evening so if you're looking for a staple for your wardrobe some good flattering denim denim that you don't want to rip off as soon as you get home because they're so comfortable definitely check out cut from the cloth i think you guys will love them as well i'll have them linked down below in the description box so you guys can shop them as well thanks so much to cut from the cloth for sponsoring today's video and lastly the one thing that's always going to make your home look better in seconds is simply just removing the small stuff if you have decor or things around your home that are smaller than your hand simply remove them tuck them away don't get rid of them maybe store them in a cabinet create a little decor cabinet that you can shop from later but removing those small things is really going to make a big difference declutter it really highlight certain items better and just refresh your homes all right so that's it for today's video i hope you enjoyed watching and i hope this gave you some ideas on ways that you can improve the look of your home without spending a dime let me know down below in the comments if you've tried any of these decorating tricks in your home or if there's something from today's video that you're going to try implementing today.
