Overtime, even the most beautiful home design scheme can lose its luster. When you’re looking at the same yellow wall or brown kitchen cabinets day in and day out, things can get a little boring. Luckily, there are affordable ways to update your home or give it a total makeover!
1. Begin with paint
Adding a coat of paint to anything immediately spruces it up. Consider painting the walls of your home a new color or just paint one accent wall so that it really stands out.
Is your kitchen outdated? Consider painting your kitchen cabinets – go light and bright with white paint or consider a bolder color to really make a statement. Transform that large wall unit with a nice paint color.
Painting your kitchen cabinets can seem like a daunting project, but you can hire someone to transform your space for much cheaper than you can replace your kitchen cabinets. View our process here to get an idea of the scope of the work.
2. Organize
Creating an organized space can make all the difference. Purge the items you never use – or haven’t used in a long time. Once you’ve gotten rid of unnecessary stuff, then visualize the best way to organize the remaining things so that you can purchase the necessary containers for proper storage. Decluttering a room can drastically change the feel of a space and have a calming effect on its inhabitants.
Pro Tip: Try to stick to containers with no lids for easy access.
3. Decorate the walls
Enhancing a room is sometimes just a matter of adding beautiful or interesting artwork. Even DIY wall décor can help to create a completely different feeling in a space. Opt for large pieces of art or multiple smaller pieces to create a unique and meaningful wall space.
Photos also have a way of brightening a room instantly. Create a photo collage for your wall space or intermittently place them in your home amongst other beautiful pieces of art.
4. Add plants
Plants are a big part of interior design, but not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they are also calming and help to clean the air of toxins in your home. Spruce up any room in your home by adding different sized plants. Use decorative pots/planters or try some hanging plants. These small touches will instantly add life to your space, helping to give it a nice makeover.
