MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Jul 12, 2012) - (Family Features) Want to give your home a fresh look, but don't have the time or energy for a complete makeover? Ditch the daunting DIY projects. Think small projects to make a big impact according, to design bloggers from VeccoStudio.com, an online resource for simple, customizable DIY design projects.
"I like to think that small changes create a mighty wow factor in homes," says Jamie Wood, design expert and VeccoStudio.com blogger. "Simple switches like fabrics and displaying seasonal collections in an interesting way elevate a space from common to highly creative."
Wood is big on swapping out to celebrate seasonality. The transformations happening outside often inspire her décor on the inside.

Bring the Outdoors In with Moon Canyon
Speaking of the outdoors, the hottest trend is bringing nature in, according to Amy Lipnis and her partner Kristen Caissie, designers at Moon Canyon Designs and resident VeccoStudio.com bloggers. Both say that using real flora and fauna brings a room to life.
As floral designers, Lipnis and Caissie say plants stir the senses with scents, sights and even taste.
