Egypt Sherrod's Hassle-Free Tips For Updating
Your Home
By ADRIANNA MACPHERSON
Anyone who watches HGTV has seen people go through some major home renovations, but if you’re looking for some hassle-free tips, "Flipping Virgins" and "Property Virgins" host Egypt Sherrod is here to help. Paint is one of the easiest ways to completely transform a room, but you don’t need to splash the entire room in a new color.
Sherrod suggests selecting a color that coordinates with a few smaller décor accents, such as throw pillows, and painting just the wall behind your sofa in order to pull together a living room. If you're purchasing any new furniture, opt for neutral tones, but try to think outside the standard gray box.
In terms of bringing in accent colors, your best bet is to grab a paint color wheel and select three shades from the color family you like. If you decide you need some light picture ledges to add a few décor accents throughout your home, Sherrod's favorite advice is to use command strips — rather than nails or other more permanent options— to attach the ledges to the walls.
As for upgrading your bedroom, Sherrod suggests layering three comforters in order to have a super luxurious layered look. You may also want to consider incorporating different textures to really make a visual impact.
