Interior Styling So Simple Even a Guy Can Do It

Do you know the difference between a duvet, davenport and armoire? Does your wall decor and table centerpiece have to match the linens? Do you know the difference between primary colors and secondary colors? If you answered 'yes' to any two of the previous three questions: congratulations, the Bravo network would like to offer you your own television series! But, if words like camel-back, drop-leaf and love-seat bring to mind the pictorial from that certain magazine you've got stashed away in the garage, read on.

When it comes to interior design for your vehicle, there are a number of simple and affordable additions that can revitalize your interior faster than you can say "queer eye for the straight guy." And as any of those guys will tell you, simply tossing in a set of fuzzy dice ain't gonna cut it, honey. Here are three of the easiest and most affordable upgrades you'll ever make to your vehicle.

The first interior upgrade is also the most functional: a set of auto seat covers. Your upholstery can soak up sweat, dirt and other grime like a sponge. Before long, your interior reflects a dull, worn look and smells like a gym bag. But with a set of high-grade auto seat covers, you can protect your interior from spills, stains and other wear and tear that can permanently ruin your upholstery...and resale value along with it. Crafted from heavy-duty materials for long-lasting durability and comfort, a quick spin through your home washer and dryer cleans them up and restores them to like-new. Their precision-cut patterns go on and off in seconds and don't even require tools to install. If you know how to slip something on (a glove, for example), you've got all the skill you'll need. Plus, many auto seat covers come pre-coated with a water-repellent treatment to protect your interior from liquids that would otherwise permanently soak in or stain the fabric of your car seats.

Dash covers make another good upgrade. Lining the curves and contours of your dash, dash covers and a dash kit provide a quality look through precision patterns, ensuring a flawless fit. Available in a wide variety of styles and colors, including carpet, suede and velor, dash covers protect your dash from UV rays, muddy shoes, soda pop spills and anything else encountered in everyday driving. In addition, quality dash covers are custom-tailored to your vehicle's make, model and year for a perfect fit that won't block any of your vents.

The final upgrade would be the inclusion of heavy-duty car mats. The workhorse in any vehicle, car mats feature tall outer ridges that contain the nastier, runnier messes that would otherwise soak into the carpeting of your floorboards. They're available in 1-piece or 2-piece designs and computer-designed for a precision fit, providing maximum coverage without covering up those essential floor controls.
