(ARA) - Looking for a room with a view when there is
none? Can't afford to move, or renovate? Check out the latest in
affordable decorating trends, including wall mural graphics, accent
pillows, throws and rugs and greenery.

It's easy to change accent elements in a room to make
the transition to fall décor. If your larger pieces of furniture are
covered in solid or tone-on-tone fabrics, you can add flair with
pillows, throws and even area rugs. Pillows can be warm and cozy
chenille, elegant damask, stylish satin or handsome wool.

Throws also are available in many styles including
tapestry-backed velvet, long-fringed chenille, or soft, fuzzy acrylic.
Area rugs can be found for as little as $250 for a 6x9, which is the
ideal size to use as an accent, even over wall-to-wall carpet. Pillows,
throws and rugs are great ways to make a quick change without investing
too much, and stores like Pier 1 Imports, Bed Bath & Beyond, and
Marshall's always have the latest styles.

Adding greenery to a room also changes its look and adds
a feeling of life. Silk plants are fine, and with proper cleaning they
can last for years. When decorating with plants, keep it simple. You
should limit floral arrangements to no more than one per room, but you
can be more generous with green plants. Bookcases benefit from a plant
on every third shelf or so, and the top of an armoire is also a good
candidate. It's especially easy to buy ready-made containers for your
plants or arrangements, in styles ranging from bright brass, silvery
aluminum, sparkling glass, to more casual ceramic or terracotta in
stores including Michael's, Home Expo and Garden Ridge.

Wall-sized murals also can transform a space, quickly
and easily. Whether you want to create the illusion of a garden vista,
a soothing seascape, or even an island paradise, your options are wide
open with the many views available.

If a photo mural isn't your preference, try an original
artist's rendering, which can be far more cost effective than a wall of
original art. Don't forget that kids' rooms also need a change with
school starting again. Because their style preferences change as
quickly as their shoe size, wall murals are an easy way to redecorate
as their tastes and interests change.

Because they are easy to install and easy on the
budget, wall murals can even be changed seasonally. You can enjoy a
warm tropical view during the winter, and change it to the cooler,
crisper look of a peaceful mountain lake during the summer.
Environmental Graphics has been designing these home-enhancing vistas
for 30 years, and mastered an easy installation method that even the
most craft-challenged can complete successfully. EGI's murals are
available at Lowe's and Sherwin-Williams stores nationwide or on the
net at www.primoproducts.com. For more information, visit

Keeping your home up to date will lift your spirits and
improve your energy, and may provide a perfect excuse for a party.
Greet the fall season with gusto!
