Your room's paint may be relatively fresh and its furniture and finishings still current, but old accessories can quickly make an area feel tired. For a quick pick-me-up that doesn't cost much, consider new window treatments, rugs, and shades, each with a distinctive pop of color or pattern. Focus on three hues that complement each other, and use them to varying degrees in each item. One bold pattern -- here, the rug -- helps to balance out other more recessive combinations.

Add Built-In Bookshelves
Built-in bookshelves can be a room-changing project that creates needed storage. Depending on your size and skill level (or willingness to boost your DIY savvy), you may be able to install them yourself. Straightforward shelves with no extra trim or doors rack up costs mostly just in wood. Look for a bookshelf spot that surrounds a window or one that’s next to a door. Compare pricing between melamine and wood, and see if your lumberyard or big box store will cut at least some of the boards to size.
