5 Quick and Easy Ways to Refresh Your Home

If you haven’t changed a thing in your home in a while, it is easy to feel like your place is stuck in a rut. If on top of this, you are hooked on those home makeover shows, you might be aching to renovate your house from top to bottom.

Of course, this can cost a ton of money, but don’t worry. You don’t really have to turn your house upside down to give it a new look. With some little tweaks and adjustments, you can breathe new life into it and easily mix things up. If after taking down your Christmas decorations your house feels kind of boring, here are several easy ways to bring a fresh look into your home without breaking the bank.

Make your entryway warm and homey

Most people tend to neglect their entryway because they do not spend a lot of time in it. However, when someone comes to your house this is the first thing they see, and we all know how first impressions matter. To add a touch of warmth and give your entryway that homey vibe it deserves, hang an interesting piece of art, family photos, or check out skullbliss.com and get one of those unique Balinese carved skulls. You can also place a bowl of seasonal fruit on the console table, add a vase with fresh flowers or even stack some books on the shelf. It is those small details that will give your foyer a fresh feel.

Paint anything you don’t love

You will be shocked to see how just one coat of paint can turn your boring cupboard into your favourite piece in the room. You really don’t have to be a professional to pull this off. Just take a piece of furniture you’ve grown tired of and get busy with a paintbrush. For that shabby chic look, opt for chalk paint. With some time and effort, you could probably salvage your old TV console, dining table, or dresser that you were ready to get rid of.

Rearrange the furniture

Buying new furniture for your living room can cost a fortune, but there really is no need for you to go on a shopping spree. Instead of maxing out your credit card, consider switching up your floor plan. Rearrange your furniture by pushing your couch up against a different wall, moving your coffee tables around, or finding a new place for your club chairs. With some simple changes, your living room will look completely different and amazing.

Get new linens

Your bedroom should be a place where you feel calm and relaxed. To achieve this, you should make sure that your sheets contribute to a serene setting. First of all, get rid of all your sheets that do not properly fit your bed, have holes in them, or stains you cannot get rid of. Then, go with an all-white look, and add a pop of colour with some cushions. This is a clean, foolproof look, but if you are not a fan of it and it reminds you of a hotel room, go with mossy green, soft blue, pastel pinks, or neutral grays. Colours in this room should not be loud, so steer clear of bright yellows and vivid reds.

Embellish your bathroom

You really don’t have to rip out the tiles or install a new tub just to give your bathroom a fresh feel. Instead, opt for a colour scheme and then buy matching towels, soap dispensers, floor mats, and a shower curtain. To turn your bathroom into a spa, get a couple of scented candles and you will never wish to leave this place. So you see, giving your home a new look and a fresh feel doesn’t require spending a fortune on new things and construction workers. With just a couple of small tweaks, you can give your house a cosy, inviting, and balanced look and turn it into your personal haven.
