If you’re looking to spice up your home this year with some simple and affordable home improvement ideas, you’re in for a treat! By the end of this, you’ll have all the ideas, tips, and tricks you need to breathe life into your home, without breaking the bank.
First things first, bringing in a fresh coat of paint is an easy and affordable way to give your home a facelift. Who doesn’t like the feel of a brand-new coat? Alternatively, if painting your entire house isn’t feasible, opt for some touches or accents instead. Maybe a murals? A statement wall can go a long way and set the tone for your home.
If you’re looking to bring a bit of nature into your living space, house plants are on the rise! Having a green thumb isn’t necessary – pick a few colorful greenery like potted flowers or large half-harvested palm tree for a chic and modern vibe. This can help enhance the ambiance of your abode and bring a splash of color to your dull rooms.
Bringing on the storm, the forecast calls for light fixtures and airy fabrics! Get overhead lighting fixtures, table lamps, and accents lighting to highlight the very best of your home. You can also install Roman blinds and sheers, and add in a few throw cushions in order to exude a cozy yet chic vibe.
Don’t forget about the scent either! Light dip saucepot candles to give your home a delicious aroma. Choose a few subtle scent to introduce a feeling of homey-ness.
If you’re looking to give small accent to your home without spending too much, try adding a few wall art décor pieces to your wall. After all, there is a saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Don’t forget to accessorize your living spaces with decorations and statement pieces that you love. Who says you have to be boring?
Last but not least, find a way to display the objects that means most to you. It could be a collection of plates you picked up at a vintage store. Or, maybe you want to install a frame wall with childhood memories. Whatever your style, let your creativity go wild and show your admiration to those most cherished items that you have.
Let’s get personal. Swap out the stuffy book shelves with those cosy wall arts and cosy linen to get that warm and inviting atmosphere into your living space. Toss in some distressed cabinets and vintage side tables and get your hands on some cute antique pieces to really take your home to the modern-meets-vintage level. Who said having a beautiful home can’t be affordable?
Bringing an outdoor to the inside, how about those DIY garden projects? Try out wall garden and let the foliage hang free and give the illusion of a more natural setting. And, why not go all natural with some power house of plants such as Aloe Vera to give a touch of fresh breeze around the house?
If you think the kitchen needs some sprucing, spruce-up the place with some subway tile and stone backsplashes. Also, try to work on the counter-tops too to give the kitchen a pop up. You can opt for the stoneware options for a unique twist.
Tired of the plain closet? Leave the house lookin’ fresh with some slatted doors and façade updates. Create a slim wardrobe to give the illusion of more availspace or build storage pockets on the closet to maximize storage use. And, don’t forget the hardware, introduce fun and functional hardware to give the room some oomph.
It’s time to go big or go home – try experimenting on the wall surfaces. Who says you can’t bring in the fabrics into the home by just using fabrics? There are plenty of wallpapers out there with unique patterns and textures that can add a one-of-a-kind look to your home.
Take out those fickle curtains and window louver and make way for some privacy shutters instead. These nifty wooden and metallic shutters instantly add warmth and protection to any window while still providing an ambient atmosphere. Plus, you don’t have to worry about pesky neighbors peeking in.
Redecorating the bathroom also needs a little elbow grease. Try to swap those boring tiles with some slate tiles that come in range of colors, shapes and sizes for added texture and interest. Or, add a touch of glam by getting rid of the dated shower curtain and install some modern glass shower screen.
Bringing in the nautical vibes into your bedroom is also something you should consider. Nothing beats an ocean inspired bedroom to come home to. Start it off with painting the wall a beautiful navy blue and use white linens and nautical throw pillow to tie it all together. For extra effect, sprinkle some starfishes and shells into the beds and complete the maritime look.
And, what better way to give your home a total makeover than to get your hands on some furniture and carafe that you love? Anything from sleek and modern coffee tables, armchairs to a comfy sofa – bring your own style to your home. Pick furniture that doubles as storage space to help you de-clutter while keeping the space neat and clutter-free.
Don’t let the dull and lacklustre in your home drag you down any longer! It’s time to grab the keys, and gave your home the facelift you deserve with these simple yet effective home improvement ideas.
Happy redecorating!
