Start With The Bedroom

Your bedroom should feel calm, comfortable and uniquely yours, and updating it doesn't have to be costly. As your bed is the centrepoint of your bedroom, start with new bed linen in a colour or print that inspires you. A new quilt cover, such as the KOO Loft Cotton Linen Quilt Cover Set, will instantly change the look and mood of your room. Pair your quilt cover with a refreshing set of sheets like our KOO Loft Linen Cotton Sheet Set. Sheets form the perfect foundation for your bedding and will have you sleeping soundly. For a coordinating set of bed linen, shop the matching KOO Loft Cotton Linen European Pillowcase for a cohesive and complementary styling of your bed.

In decorating your bedroom, layer your bedding arrangement with stylish cushions and a throw to add texture and depth. Play around with different shapes and sizes, as well as mixing textures and patterns. Rectangle cushions such as the KOO Amira Woven Cushion will complement the shape of your pillows, offering a balance between your practical bedding pieces and your decorative accents. Choose fabrics like cotton, linen blends or waffle textures as seen with our KOO Foxton Waffle Yarn Dyed Throw and introduce an elevated feel that won't blow the budget.

Tip: If you have your quilt covers seasonally for a quick, affordable refresh, giving your space a brand-new look without a full restyle ideal for updating your bedroom styling on a budget.

Refresh Your Bathroom Retreat

The bathroom is one of the easiest (and most satisfying) rooms to refresh on a budget. Updating your bath linen with a selection of fresh towels is always a great starting point. Fresh towels instantly make your space feel more luxurious and inviting. Opt for plush textures or waffle styles in calming, neutral tones for a spa-like atmosphere.

KOO's range of towel collections, like the KOO Egyptian Cotton Towel Collection, allows you to coordinate your towels with other matching bathroom linen, including bathmats and hand towels, to create a cohesive look.

Apart from your bathroom linen, there are a number of other ways you can refresh your bathroom retreat. Adding a new shower curtain, a decorative KOO Speckle Soap Dispenser, or even a scented candle or diffuser, such as our KOO Jar Candle, can elevate the space without the need for major changes.

Refresh with Cushions and Throws

If you're looking for home styling ideas while simultaneously trying to save, the best way to achieve maximum impact with minimal spend is to refresh your soft furnishings. Cushions and throws are an easy way to introduce colour, pattern and texture to your space, and they can completely transform any room into a cosy oasis. Perfect for updating your living room or bedroom, cushions and throws offer an ideal fusion between style and comfort.

When it comes to styling cushions and throws, it's a good idea to mix and match designs on your couch, armchair or bed, choosing complementary tones to tie your space together. Play with materials like boucle, velvet or knitted textures to give your home a cosy, curated finish and experiment with arrangements - think groups of three or more cushions on your couch or layering two or more throws on your bed.

Update the Small Details

It's often the small things that make the biggest difference. Updating décor pieces such as vases, candles, diffusers, or wall art can instantly refresh your home's personality. These smaller pieces are often less costly when compared to larger decorative pieces.

Opt for timeless pieces that can move between rooms and seasons - think ceramic vases such as the KOO Ceramic Tall Vase, framed prints or textured decor objects. Grouping items in threes or layering heights with taller pieces, such as our KOO Candle Holder, on a coffee table or console adds visual interest without needing to spend much.

And if you find you have a little more room in the budget, consider anchoring your space with a stylish, neutral toned rug such as our KOO Marina Wool Rug. This can form the perfect foundation to your home styling refresh and effortlessly complements your smaller decor pieces to establish a cohesiveness throughout your home styling.

Style Your Dining Table

A well-dressed dining table sets the tone for every meal. Common home styling ideas for refreshing your dining table involve swapping out your old tablecloth for a fresh linen or cotton option and pairing it with matching placemats or napkins for a cohesive, effortless look.

Use a new runner, placemat or napkins instead of buying new dinnerware. Our KOO Juni Tufted Table Runner, woven placemats or printed napkins can make all the difference. The pattern of our KOO Copenhagen Placemats 2 Pack will effortlessly elevate any table setting, while our KOO Vera Napkin 4 Pack offer a subtle yet noticeable difference to the styling of your dining room.

Bring the Outdoors In

When it comes to home styling tips for refreshing your space, incorporating a sense of nature is an easy way to instantly uplift the ambience of your home. Fresh greenery or even a few branches in a vase can breathe life into any space. Plants instantly add vibrancy and texture, making your home feel fresh and homely.

If you prefer low-maintenance options, opt for realistic faux plants that last year-round. KOO's selection of artificial plants and flowers showcases incredible life-like details. Our artificial plants introduce that refreshing sense of greenery, while our artificial flowers are perfect for incorporating a touch of nature alongside a pop of colour. They offer the elegance and tranquillity of real floristry and greenery with none of the upkeep, so no matter which corner of your home they're placed in, you'll know they'll provide the perfect decor piece without the worry of withering away.

Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms and even bathrooms, artificial flowers and plants will brighten your space, breathing new life into your home without the added cost of having to care for them.
