We all want to make our homes look nicer, but sometimes the improvements we think of can seem overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to remember that sometimes the smallest changes can have the biggest impact. From easy decorating tricks to low-cost fixture upgrades, here are some quick fixes that make a big impact for home improvement.
Painting is an easy and affordable way to give any room an instant facelift. Paint walls a new colour, add an accent wall, or even paint furniture to add some spunk. Changing a single wall to a bold hue can take a room from dull to daring in no time.
New lighting can give any space a new intensity. Look for ways to add more recessed or track lighting as well as fixtures with decorative shades. You don’t have to spend a bundle on high-end lighting; you can get the same effect from basic builder-grade fixtures.
Decorate with new throw pillows and rugs. Change out that boring couch with a bright pattern and a bold colour and add some fun updates with pillows and rugs. Not only is refreshing the look of any room design but it will also make the room feel bigger.
Display artwork that boosts your mood. Uplift your lifestyle by incorporating artwork that speaks to you. Think big prints, bold colours, or any other pieces that will fill your space with joy. Finding the right pieces of art gives the home a statement piece, whether it’s an eye-catching portrait or a vintage quilt.
Update your hardware. It’s an easy fix but a big-impact one: change out your old hardware for something more modern. You can buy inexpensive hardware and switch out the knobs and pulls on cabinets and drawers to shake up the look. Install new pulls on cupboards and doors, replace old knobs on dressers and mirrors— with a few strokes of a screwdriver you can update the look and feel of the entire room.
Use plants to add texture and colour. No room makeover is complete without a few new houseplants. Greenery instantly adds colour and texture to any room. Choose drought-tolerant plants that don’t need regular watering and that won’t spread too quickly.
Bring in storage solutions that go with your decor. An untidy room can look so cluttered, but with a few attention-grabbing storage solutions, you can tame the chaos. Invest in attractive containers and bins that will match your decor for that put-together look. Look for free standing cabinets, shelves, and dressers in different sizes and shapes.
Add texture with a statement wallpaper. This is a great way to make a grand statement in any room and you can find wallpaper designs to fit any budget. There are different types of materials to choose from and you can go with a print that adds a touch of glamour to your home.
Swap out old furniture for new pieces. Do you have a beloved but worn-out armchair you can bring back to life with a new cushion and throw blanket? Make sure to choose pieces that aren’t too busy and don’t overpower the other furniture. Choose a classic style that can work in nearly any room.
Create an inviting entryway. Welcoming guests into the home should start from the front door. Make sure the entrance to your home looks inviting for anyone who comes to your home. Add an outdoor rug and potted plants and hang an outdoor wall art to create a beautiful and inviting entryway.
Mix and match different textures. It’s all about making a room look interesting, and the best way to do that is to combine different textures. Consider using words like weave, ruffle, and embossed in describing your furniture and accents that will bring the room to life.
Brighten the windows with curtains and blinds. Get rid of teh single roller blinds from the past and and select a range of affordable, stylish blinds and curtains. By mixing textures and fabrics, you can create a stunning window treatment that is both natural and inviting.
Use frames to bring a gallery wall together. Creating a gallery wall with pictures, frames and other pieces of art is a great way to add a splash of color and texture to a space. Choose frames in different sizes and finishes and mix and match to create a unique display.
