Christmas is only a couple of weeks away and like many of us, you are just not ready for it (wasn’t Summer only yesterday?). You had all of these awesome ideas for upgrading your home. Maybe you spent hours on Pinterest looking for inspo, even daydreamed about how it would all come together and couldn’t wait! But now it looks like none of it can happen. Your budget just won’t allow it. (Budget-1 – You -0)
Don’t fret though. Smooth out that frown (those aren’t good for you) and let Shopping Sense and Harris Paints – the Caribbean Champions of Colour, guide you!
While you’d love to get that new sofa, those “cayute!” end tables (from that super affordable store we all love ), which will really make your living room pop – adding colour is the easiest and thriftiest way to refresh any room. It is loads of fun and stress-free (well almost, but we have a solution for that).
Here are some bright ideas to get you started.
Create a stylish centrepiece with a mural.
If your room has a niche, it’s the perfect spot for extra colour. This banana leaves mural painted by Kesia Estwick (Millennial & Mystic) livens up a boho-themed interior featured on Rental to Home.

Give an old piece of furniture a new lease on style with a vibrant hue that you love.
Make it the starting point for the rest of your colour scheme and use accessories like throw pillows to carry the colour throughout the room for a coherent feel.
