Does your space currently feel a bit too plain, or could you use a little decor tweaking here and there to add some spice to the overall vibe? Well, here is a detailed map of how to go around the all important house make over.
Wallpaper
Feeling like something is missing? It's that plain white or blue wall. Best believe your decor situation is dire if you don't have a few wall hangings here and there don not break the monotony of that wall. In that case, its time you fixed the wall. Forget the hangings, they are just a cosmetic fix. Think wallpapers; easy to install and uninstall, and they come in a range of colors and designs, which means you can find one that not only fits your taste but also complements your furniture. As if that is not enough they are easy to clean!
A roll of wall paper that spans 5metres should set you back around KES 2000 on average.

Now that you have spruced up those walls let's get on the throw pillow train. This is another hack to make that room really comfy and easy on the eye. Think of throw pillows as the modern replacement to those depressing
vitambaas our folks used to spread on the living room sofas. Throw pillows serve to break the monotony of empty seats and in a way they bring this visual appeal that makes the room look so much better.
With throw pillows there is no need to match with the furniture. The more diverse the more better visual appeal.
On average a single throw pillow should set you back between KES 500 and 2k but there is no ceiling. Depends on where you source.

Carpets can add a flair of royalty and importance, depending on the kind of carpet you choose to invest in, but good practice shows that if you buy a proper carpet it will give you the kind of service and longevity that you seek. A good carpet should be based on the colour of the walls and the furniture in question, and how best they complement one another.

Furniture feels more like a generic term as it encompasses a broad spectrum of elements found in the entirety of a room, from the TV stand to the sofa to the beds and shoe racks. But that is no problem because quintessentially, each and every piece of furniture should be of great quality. So it is important that the buyer takes into consideration the quality and aesthetics of their furniture.
Of course, quality dictates the price of the furniture, better still you can get a
fundi to custom make your preferences. For this, check out Dagoretti Corner on Ngong Road or Jogoo Road you might just get really cool carpenters.

I cannot emphasize the importance of curtains enough. They are the filter through which light comes in and well, keep prying eyes out. Other than these, they complement the architecture of any living space, especially when well done.
With some curtains going for upwards of KES 300k, it will solely depend on one's financial ability, creativity and taste.
