 On The Inside - 10 Ideas To Jazz Up Your Home's Interior
                                                                                                                        
1. Update your flooring. Replace worn and outdated flooring. Combine flooring material in adjacent areas to pull the visual flow together.

2. Replace worn carpet on stairs.Reduce visual wear and tear, by selecting a darker shade and patterned carpet.

3. Paint. Freshen up and increase interior space visually by painting adjacent rooms the same color.
 
4. Replacing standard squared door openings with arched cut-outs will also increase space visually.
 
5. Warm up your home's interior with lighting. Plug-ins pucks are easy to install under kitchen cabinets and inside built-ins. Consider recessed lights or track lighting in dark hallways.
 
6. Replace kitchen countertops and cabinetry hardware.
  
7. Add a tile back splash.
