Longing to rejuvenate your home but lacking time and money? StyleAtHome.com has come up with 10 quick ways to do a home makeover. Check out some of their suggestions:
Light up your life
New lighting not only modernizes a space but also helps items in a room sparkle and shine. "For kids' rooms, there are great new chrome and glass fixtures that look like trains, planes or helicopters," says Cohn. "It could also be fun to hang a sparkly chandelier in the bathroom." If your lighting fixtures are keepers, make sure you're using the proper bulbs and wattage - most people don't, notes Cohn.
Use your food
When flowers are scarce in the wintertime, go to your refrigerator and pull out colourful fruit or vegetables and place them in a beautiful clear glass bowl. If you're having people over, group breads of different textures, like pumpernickel and raisin, on a nice serving plate and place it with a few pretty dishes and cutlery in the middle of a dining table or on a sideboard. "It gives the feeling that you're welcome into my home."
Rearrange furniture
Create a whole new feeling by moving around significant pieces. "Try angling a sofa instead of placing it straight on a wall, or make a conversation area if it doesn't exist - put sofas facing each other, or a couple of chairs facing a sofa," suggests Cohn. She also suggests turning the dining table the other way if the space allows. Or in the bedroom, try moving the bed into the centre of a room or under a window.

Actor John Travolta loves flying. So when it came to creating a home for his family, he found a property that came equipped with a 7,500-foot runway. Not contented with that, Travolta extended the taxiway to reach the house so that he could park two of his planes, a Gulfstream II jet and a 1964 Boeing 707-138B.

CloveTWO features a duplex unit in Emerald Perdana condo, Damansara Perdana.
An extract from the article:
Cheng's quirky sense of humour is apparent in the small plaque that says "Born free, Now I'm expensive" and a tilted green bowl that has "Vacation Money" on it. A red bowling pin is an ashtray. Three small translucent glass plaques with tea lights, placed in front of the plasma TV, are a summary of life: "Laugh", the Yin-Yang symbol, and "Clarity".
