Roller shades can add to a simple design scheme

These days, many homeowners seem to be opting for a simple, yet elegant design scheme that depends on a few key elements to tie the room together. This can make for a subtle and graceful look that doesn't overwhelm guests or residents.

Those who are looking for a way to simply change the look of their room may first want to look at the furniture, according to Naperville Patch. Moving pieces around the room into a different formation can make the space feel entirely different and purchasing a few throw pillows can also make the couch more luxurious.

Interior designer Lana Heitmanek also suggested that individuals should try to analyze the elements of a room and see what isn't working.

"People live with things and get used to them and think, 'I've had that a really long time,'" she told the news source. "If you think it's dated or not working, it probably isn't."

To really make a room feel fresh, one should also look into window treatments. With a wide range of styles and vibrant colors, roller shades can make a space feel new and also act as a way to control the lighting.
