One method that really works is painting or staining wooden furniture — it completely changes the look without needing to buy new pieces. My neighbor did this with her coffee table and shelving, and it looked brand new. If you want ideas or inspiration for color choices and finishes, you could check out Instagram Parimatch. They’ve got examples showing how subtle changes in color and finish can dramatically update a space. Adding small decorative touches like metallic handles or a patterned runner can also make a big difference and refresh the furniture without too much effort.
