26 Best Ways To Tackle A Spring Home Makeover

If your art collection doesn't thrill you as it once did, refresh your pieces without letting them go (and going through the trouble of selling them). Display them using all gold — or silver or pink or purple or whatever — frames for an update that instantly change the mood of the room, like this master bedroom of a Los Angeles home.

Paint trends are looking up this year — literally — and you can transform any room of your home with a statement ceiling (learn how to do it yourself, here). In this traditional house in Bel Air, the daughter's room gets a modern update with a blue-purple ceiling in Farrow & Ball's Pitch Blue.

Organization doesn't always mean hiding everything out of sight in cabinets, chests, and towering armoires. In a home designed by Nate Berkus in Tampa, Florida, a bookcase is repurposed to keep towels at hand without any clutter.

You don't have to grab your paint rollers or ready the wallpaper to revamp a bedroom. Upgrade the centerpiece of your room — the headboard — to something bright and cheery, like this bed by Ballard Designs upholstered in a Lake August fabric in the master bedroom of a Brooklyn apartment.

Perhaps one of the most striking ways to make an impact in a small space like a powder room is to cover it in a bold wallpaper. In this Utah dream home, a powder room emulates the classic patterned accent of a pocket square with its black and bronze Lily wallpaper from Cole & Sons.

If you've been waiting for the right time to replace the bedding you've had for years upon years, this is it. The bed is essentially the centerpiece of your room, and the first and last thing you see each day, so it's worth making it a spot you love. Hate outside germs on your linens? Consider bacteria-resistant sheets.

Make what's old new again by reupholstering your antique furniture. In this sophisticated SoHo apartment, designer Sasha Bikoff covered two 18th-century French bergère chairs in a hot pink Maharam fabric for an eye-catching vignette.

They do it regularly in the Oval Office — why not give it a try in your home? Swapping out curtains can make a major aesthetic impact on your space, depending on the color, style and texture you use. Just look at how these curtains in Josh Groban's Manhattan dressing room lend a cozy air to the warm-hued space. (But don't forget these important things to consider when buying curtains.)

Books should serve as a low base. Instead of stacking your favorite reads, situate them in a neat grid, layering the rest of your coffee table pieces on top. It's just one of many ways you can organize your living room's coffee table.

Does your living room or bedroom lack focus? Give the eye a place to rest by investing in a piece of furniture that stands out in either color or shape. In one Indian couple's purple-themed home, a royally fashionable pouf is the statement piece of the sitting area.

The bar cart is becoming more and more universal, now appearing in spaces beyond the bar — take this sophisticated office, for instance — and there is a bounty of ways to organize and style it. Even if you err more toward the teetotaler side of the spectrum, a bar cart can serve as a handy way do organize dishes and silverware for quick access.

If years of hosting have resulted in chipped plates or out-of-date servingware, take this spring season to make a chic upgrade. At this pastel pink party, the champagne flutes were by Anthropologie and the pink dessert plates were by Suite One Studio @ Anthropologie.

A great light fixture can become the centerpiece of a room. In the playroom of a laid-back Bridgehampton home, a knotted Atelier 688 bulb fixture makes a striking visual impact that's both playful and sophisticated.
