Transform your favorite spots both indoors and out in brilliant colors or perk up old furniture with a stylish makeover. 

“There is a lot of interest in simply changing a room with just curtains, which can change the entire look,” explains Artéé’s Nancy Miles. Customers can showcase a room’s beauty with a simple adornment that makes a statement. A single change can influence the entire design and provide an instant room update or express style with a swoon-worthy palette. Give your furniture a fresh start by refreshing a table with a skirt to remedy dated or scratched furniture for subtle sophistication or embellish curtains with trim.
