Quick Fixes Countdown – 18 Days till Christmas

Written by faith | 1

This expert Seattle interior designer thought November sped by way too quickly! Now the real countdown is upon us.  My clients and commenters ask about quick fixes… things they can do easily and inexpensively to prepare for the holiday entertaining schedule.  No matter how casual, informal or elaborate, somehow you sense the eyes are likely noting your decor and sharing a conversation or two afterwards. How about a few quick updates that will leave holiday guests with a lasting good impression.  Here are some thoughts:

  • Painting is  first — and  the most economical . Out of  time to paint the entire room? Paint one wall as an accent. Choose the wall that anchors furniture or the facing when sitting down.
  • Add a mirror - a big, bold-framed mirror and  put some wow in your room.
  • Area rugs add instant character and are an  excellent value for your investment.
  • Drapery panels, ready made, finish a room.  Don’t be skimpy though… add extra if the window is wide.
