Do you love a quick fix as much as I do? I mean sure, I can appreciate a good home project (and trust me there are plenty in my house) but sometimes you just want instant gratification. I believe the 2 primary reasons people don’t regularly update their home décor are 1. Money: It can be expensive to keep up with home trends and 2. Time: It can seem like too big of a project to tackle with everything else life throws at you. So, for this post, let’s focus on fast, easy, and relatively inexpensive ways to update your home. These are small but impactful touches that will bring your home out of the 1900s and into the roaring 20s ? AND give it some new life!
Disclaimer: What is “in” and “dated” can be a very personal decision. These suggestions are not meant to offend anyone, YOU DO YOU in YOUR home, but if you are looking to modernize your space, these tips are a great place to start.

8 Ways To Update Your Home
#1) Declutter & Clean
The most impactful thing you can do to update your space is to declutter. I know, I know… that’s not necessarily groundbreaking advice, but less is more and a modern aesthetic is geared more toward minimalism than tons of knickknacks everywhere! You’d be surprised just how much better your space will look with fewer things in it! In case you missed it, I shared some decluttering tips here.

Hi Susan,
I have followed beautiful Erin ( inside and out beauty) since she started. I love that she has a team now. I love your tip about plants. My husband has a green thumb. We used to have a hair salon fron ’79 til 2003 in a hotel. The hotel went out of business, so we brought the plants home. My husband has kept all of them alive forty three years later!!! Some of them are large. I love all of your tips. You certainly don’t look like you have college age kids. I enjoy all of Erin’s videos and all of the team’s work too. Thanks so much. ♡♡♡♡
Rita!! First of all, you are so sweet and you just made my day! I’m uber-impressed that your husband has such a green thumb – 43 years?!? That’s more than spectacular. I’m currently excited that I have had the same succulent for 9 months…and it’s still alive : ) We SO appreciate you and your kind comment. THANK YOU for being a loyal follower. Sending hugs – Susan
