GRAND RAPIDS, Mich (WOTV) - You don’t have to complete a decorating overhaul to give your home a fresh, updated look. For a new look today, try one of these low-cost tips.

1. Update your lampshades 

Update your lamp shades.  Outdated lampshades can leave a room feeling dull. Ditch the pleats for a simple drum shade- they look nicer and are easier to clean.

2. Paint happy 

To lighten up a large piece of wood furniture, add a happy color.

3. Make more use out of your chairs 

Unless you seat 8-10 at every meal, your dining room chairs probably don’t get much use. Steal two and flank them with a console table or dresser in your bedroom.
