Modernize Your Light Fixtures

Modernizing your light fixtures immediately updates your space and adds a contemporary look to your home. Mirell Gallo, Interior Designer and owner of Petite Manse, recommends switching out your ceiling fans for ceiling medallions to give your rooms a refresh. “I really like modern fixtures in traditional settings. I think the juxtaposition of old and new is fresh.” Says Mirell Gallo.

Add Texture To A Room By Updating Your Window Treatments

Updating your window treatments is a cost-effective way to dramatically change the feel of your home. Changing your blinds or curtains is a great way to transform your home instantly. Mirell Gallo says, “Linen drapes and bamboo shades provide another layer of texture to your home and add some warmth.”

Say Goodbye To White Trim

Painting over the white trim in your home is an awesome way to modernize your spaces. Trimming your walls from ceiling to floor with one dominant color or a bold neutral gives your home a seamless and sleek look. Mirell Gallo recommends trying a monochromatic look to update your space significantly.
