Sometimes we feel our home gets cluttered and needs a refresh, however, the budget doesn’t have wiggle room for a full home-renovation makeover. There are many simple and cost-effective improvements you can do yourself that can make your home feel brand new – which don’t have to cost a fortune. Simple changes like freshening up your home décor, updating tapware or repainting a wall can make all the difference. See some of the smaller items you can do to your home to give it a new and refreshed feeling.
Out with the old and in with the new
If you don’t love it or haven’t used it in the past 12 months, it’s a sign you may be able to let it go. Decluttering can be a good opportunity to sell items you no longer want or need to make money to buy the new piece of furniture or paint that’s on your wish list.
Introduce a new colour palette
Colour affects our emotions and moods so a fresh coat of paint or switching the colours in a room can dramatically make a difference to the way we feel in a space. Even consider painting your trimwork with an updated colour – this defines your home’s features, while creating a high-end look. Freshening up a space with a fresh coat of paint is a cost-effective but impactful change that can make a space feel brand new.
Switch up your tapware
Tapware can play a massive role in the way a bathroom or laundry space can make you feel. Simply switching up your tapware, and adding some cute new storage for supplies can make you feel like you’ve had a complete renovation.
Style your entry
The first impression of the home is the entryway. If your entryway feels like a dumping ground, give it a quick refresh that will make your guests say ‘wow’. Adding a bowl or tray to put smaller items in (like keys) will help to tidy the area and keep those smaller things contained. To make the area feel bigger than it is, without knocking down a wall, add a mirror to one wall.
A home refresh doesn’t need to be a massive overhaul and doesn’t need to break the bank. Visit the helpful staff at Porters Mitre 10 stores for ideas and expert advice on how to refresh your home.
