What's Your Style? Fresh decorating ideas for your home.

What's Your Style? Fresh decorating ideas for your home.A recent survey by the retailer HomeGoods found that while almost half of Americans haven't updated their home décor in the last five years, only 20 percent are happy with it. If that sounds like you, then it's time for some fresh ideas. These budget-friendly decorating ideas from Glade, the worldwide leader in home fragrance, and Giuliana Rancic, entertainment journalist and style guru, make it easy to discover your personal style. Small Changes Add Up "You don't have to redo a whole room," says Rancic. "Small changes like adding a new color or introducing a scent to a room really make a big difference. I love how the Glade Expressions fragrances not only match my design taste perfectly, but also help make my home feel welcoming and guest-ready by giving it that finishing touch of a signature scent." Start at the beginning. The entryway of a home is the first thing guests see, so make sure it's impactful. Tidy up the outside area around the front door, and add some inexpensive pops of color with a planter full of seasonal flowers. On the inside, think about updating the walls with floral or damask wallpaper, or even a painted chevron pattern. Engage all the senses. Sights, sounds, textures and scent all work together to complete the ambiance of a space. Try using soft lighting for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Mix textures in the room by adding a soft throw to a modern, sleek sofa. Select a signature scent with one of the true-to-life fragrances from the new Glade Expressions Collection. The new fragrances combine classic scents with an exotic twist, and they're available in two contemporary designs to complement any room's décor. Personal Style Tips Rancic recommends taking cues from the things you love to add elements that express your personality: Feel connected to nature? Display elements from nature to add earthy touches to a room. Look for beautiful rocks and geodes. Use natural fabrics, wood-wicked candles, and display sprigs of lavender and green leaves in ceramic vases or mason jars. Scent: Lavender & Juniper Berry. Wish you could visit the Mediterranean? Freshen up sofas and chairs with crisp cotton slipcovers, and white, flowing sheers on the windows. Add a couple of bright pillows or a colorful throw for a warm and sunny feel. Scent: Cotton & Italian Mandarin. Get Inspired The first step in discovering your own style is to make a personal "styleboard." You can create one on a bulletin board, in folders or make a virtual one at www.facebook.com/glade. * To create one at home, collect images of things you love, such as fashion, décor, or anything that catches your eye. Sort through the images and look for patterns. This is a great way to narrow down your options when you are not sure of a style. * On the Glade Facebook page, you can create an online styleboard to help you put together the perfect look and match it with a signature scent. Each personalized styleboard created on the application includes a Glade Expressions Collection fragrance, home furnishing suggestions, color and fabric swatches and music playlists - all of which can be shared with friends and family on Facebook.
