1. Lighten Up
A small but big impact item for kicking your home up a notch is to upgrade builder basic lighting. Refresh your room with a new light fixture that reflects your personal style - it will change the entire outlook of your space. Urban Barn’s Tetsu Moku Pendant adds a rustic radiance to a living or dining room, with it’s weathered grey wash and clean design.
2. Pillow Talk
Did your couch come with matchy pillows? Don't be afraid to play with combinations of patterns, textures, and sizes. My tip to find the right combination of pillows it to pickup extras and return the ones that just don't work in your space - this enables you to try out various combinations and see what works best in your home. Checkout Urban Barn for some incredible pillows that will bring visual interest to your couch, like their new cozy, authentic sheep’s wool Mongolian Toss pillow in Berry, paired with their Arya Faux Fur Throw in Grey Wolf.
3. Hit A Wall
Consider getting creative with your walls: there are lots of great things you can do with your walls - create a gallery wall, a chalkboard wall or perhaps even a shiplap wall! Gallery walls can fit any style of home...you can do this through the types of frames that you use to build out your gallery wall. Check out Urban Barn for many great styles from rustic farm style, to metallica glam, to clean and modern.
To create consistency throughout all of the images in your gallery wall a simple tip is to make all of the images black and white. Photo printers, like Costco, can enable you to this easily when you are ordering your photos - you can also easily order a variety of sizes inexpensively - print extras to have an inventory of photos to swap out throughout the year or on special occasions!

With hundreds of home improvement experts ready to help with your next project, it's a must-attend event for Calgary homeowners. Don't have tickets yet?
