2) A rich deep wall color….. like below:
Perhaps you’re ready for a daring wall color in at least one area of the house? This can look great on one accent wall or in a recessed niche, or on the back of your built in wall unit. In the room below the dark gray or charcoal wall color gives the room a sexy masculine feeling. And the reason it looks so good? Again, due to the large contemporary art! Another great place to experiment is the wall behind the bed, or the wall behind your desk in a study or home office.

3) Less is more!
Perhaps you need to toss some of your existing hand me down furniture? Ask yourself, is my furniture dragging down the style of the room? Do they reflect my taste and style? If not, edit!
Then take it a step further, is the big old fashioned lounge chair overpowering my room? Could I borrow a chair from another room? Think outside the box, and go for a “less is more” clean look!
If your goal is to have a sexy fresh updated room, perhaps all you have to do is edit! This sensuous style is the same reason we like a 5 star hotel room, with a clean contemporary look.

5) A sexy light fixture!
This is important in the bedroom, and even in the living room. The room below could’ve felt country cottage, but with this stunning light fixture, it’s instantly fun and unique. And, sorry to be repetitive, but once again – notice abstract art adds to the fresh updated vibe.
Nothing dates a room faster than leaving the original chandelier or ceiling fan the builder used. The original chandelier was probably not the best pick, because when building a new home, the lighting selections are often about staying within the lighting allowance!

| A sexy fun light fixture is an unexpected touch |
Maybe you feel like your sofa, bed, dining table or other pieces are too “expected” or too traditional for your current taste?

And if you’re only willing to try a couple of them, know that #1 and #3 are pretty much non negotiable for a fresh exciting look.
