Revamping a room can be a difficult process when you don't know where to begin. Moxii's Interior Designers suggest getting your creative juices flowing by gathering ideas together. Find some cute magazines, like "Domino" or "Real Simple" and tear out pages of rooms that you like to start getting a better idea of the style that fits you. Once you've gathered your ideas, have an "editing" session and narrow it down to what you can afford to do. Magazines, photos, and the like are a great way to get your look together! But, if you're looking for more help, remember Moxii has designers waiting to take on the challenge with a free design consultation.

We know how those family heirlooms can make their way into our hearts! Moxii suggests keeping that old outdated piece, but give it a well-deserved makeover for all its faithful years. Start by finding some trendy fabric, either from your closets, or at a retail store. Depending on the make of the chair, you might be able to recover just the seat cushion yourself, but if it's a more complicated piece that's entirely upholstered, you might want to have it professionally recovered. If it's a wood based frame, consider painting over the frame with a funky color and gel stain to give it a more exciting appeal.

It is so easy to wake up one day and be shocked by how many different things you have somehow managed to collect in a single room. It might be that everything is sentimental to you, but whatever the case, it can be fixed. One of the things that great designers will tell you is that you must constantly "edit" your surroundings. Just like you would edit a paper for errors, you also need to edit your living space for "errors" such as clutter, disorganization, etc. However, one of the easiest ways to combat a clutter problem is to find a focal point, and stick to it. Defining a focal point, such as a fireplace, or picture wall, immediately adds a focus to your room, and provides a sense of balance.

Choosing paint colors for a space can be one of the trickiest decisions, and can really make or break the room. That's why it's so important to decide before hand what you'd like your "color scheme" to be. There are so many color schemes to choose from these days, so it's easy to get overwhelmed if you don't know what you're looking for. That's why it's great to have an idea of what you'd like your space to look like and then you might have a better idea of the color family to choose from. Moxii is always happy to help with their free design consultation services. But, if you're more a "do-it-yourself" kind of person, then a simple trip to Lowe's or HomeDepot where you can view paint selections and even grab some of those color scheme brochures can really help.

This is a very common problem that a lot people run into, especially in apartment settings. The first thing to think of is paint color because your choice effects how the room will feel. For example, if you had tall ceilings and wanted the room to look more cozy and small, you would want to choose a darker color paint that pulls the walls in together and gives the feel of a smaller space. However, the opposite is true of a small space and the use of a light airy color. It will make your space feel bigger than it is. Another way to "grow" your walls is to purposely place things higher than normal. For example, hang your window treatments over your windows as tall as they can go. This naturally brings your eye upward, creating the illusion of higher ceilings.

Well this is something we love to do at Moxii. We love to combine the old and the new. So start with the pieces you'd like to keep, decide if they need a facelift, and then try adding a few new pieces to what you already have. We love how the character of old stuff adds charm to new pieces in a space.
