One easy way to change the landscape for 2015 is to freshen up your decor. From rearranging furniture to slapping on a fresh coat of paint, there are lots of ways to say Out with the Old, In with the New!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>1. Rearrange furniture<\/h4>\n<p>Have you ever thought of putting that sofa against a different wall? Moving that bookshelf to the hallway? A simple room rearrangement can do wonders. A home you&#8217;ve gotten to know for years can quickly feel like a brand-new abode.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/5433514\/Modern-Kiawah-contemporary-living-room-charleston\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4305\" src=\"http:\/\/littlehighrise-dev.com\/~md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/contemporary-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/contemporary\/living-room\">Contemporary Living Room<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/professionals\/interior-designer\/charleston\">Charleston Interior Designers &amp; Decorators<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>2. Hang New Wall Art<\/h4>\n<p>Maybe once you move that shelf to the hallway, you&#8217;ll have room for new wall art. Whether you decide to go for a gallery wall or a single painting, a new view could be the key to a fresh, new outlook this year. Frame vintage family photos, buy local art, or create your own wall decor with fun DIY projects like this <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/10448283\/Surfsong-Beach-transitional-hall-charleston\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/transitional-hall.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/transitional\/hall\">Transitional Hall<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/professionals\/interior-designer\/charleston\">Charleston Interior Designers &amp; Decorators<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>3. Repaint<\/h4>\n<p>Nothing says &#8220;renewed&#8221; quite like a fresh coat of paint. Try adding a new color to your kitchen cupboards, one wall of your living room, or even a chair. This blue paint is from a home we worked on at Surfsong Beach. Doesn&#8217;t that blue remind you of a clear Spring day? If what you need is a clear mind and a fresh, new day, maybe blue is the color for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/10448286\/Surfsong-Beach-transitional-bathroom-charleston\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/transitional-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/photos\/transitional\/bathroom\">Transitional Bathroom<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houzz.com\/professionals\/interior-designer\/charleston\">Charleston Interior Designers &amp; Decorators<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>4.
