Refresh your home this winter
HOME renovations can often be overthought, exaggerated and utterly expensive.
An easy way to avoid a costly and time consuming renovation is to refresh your home with a few simple tips.
The most important rule to follow when refreshing and renewing your home is to ensure that the room is still functional and continues to flow well.
Here are some easy tips to jazz up your home.
Paint
Begin with the basics — a lick of paint in a bright or new colour can easily improve the feel and atmosphere of any room in the house.
If you’re feeling risky and one of your rooms is feeling dull and boring, try a bright colour that will completely turn the mood of the room right around, and create a brighter atmosphere.
Replace door handles and cupboard doors
Often in old traditional homes, cupboard doors and door handles can become outdated or pass with old trends.
A simple and cheap way to refresh your home without changing an entire feature is to remove the old door handles and replace them with a modern option.
This is a simple way to give your kitchen or bathroom a new look and introduce some cheap and easy styling into an old room.
Add colour
The most important tip to refreshing your house is to add colour, which can easily create a focal point in each room.
This can easily be completed with colourful cushions, a new rug, a vase of flowers, or a throw rug over the couch or bed.
This brightens the house, adds a new and improved feel and is a savvy, cost-effective way to re-create any room.
