If you’re looking to update your home decor, it can be difficult to know where to start. Whether your property is large, small or somewhere in between, deciding how to improve each room can be tricky - especially if you’re no interior design expert. So, before you take on the task, read these five simple tips that could help transform your home.
- Revamp your window dressings
Changing your window dressings is a great way to improve the look and feel of your home. For example, simply swapping your blinds for a pair of luxurious curtains could transform any room into a more elegant space. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something reassuringly traditional, you could install some shutters in your windows. Not only do shutters look great, but they are convenient too. As Perth’s CurtainWorld points out, this particular choice of window dressing can be constructed out of climate controlled wood, making them perfectly suited to the warm Australian conditions. So, while it’s hot outside, you can remain cool, calm and collected indoors.
- Repaint your walls
Redecorating is an easy way to freshen up any room. Whether it’s your bedroom, living room or kitchen, changing up the colours of the walls could instantly reinvent and transform your home. Why not opt for cool shades of blue or soft sea greens to create a relaxing and tranquil beach themed vibe, or mix it up with tones of black, white and grey for a more minimalistic and modern approach? It’s easy to achieve your ideal look with a simple lick of paint.
- Add decorative mirrors
While it might not seem like the most innovative decor tip, the addition of a decorative mirror to a wall can make any space immediately look more spacious and stylish. In an area with particularly poor natural lighting, positioning a mirror opposite the window can make the room appear much bigger than it actually is. Whether you opt for a plain or abstract design, simply introducing a mirror into the mix could add some depth and help bring your home to life.
- Include some soft furnishings
Despite the potentially scorching temperatures outside, it’s still important to include an element of cosiness into your home. So, to revamp the interior of your property, you could add some soft furnishings. From placing a couple of beautifully made cushions on your sofa to having a folded-up blanket at the end of your bed, these types of accessories not only look good but they also feel great.
- Upgrade your lighting
From the fixtures themselves to the types of bulbs you use, upgrading the lighting in your home can improve the look of the place. For example, in your bedroom, you could install a dimmer switch create the perfect atmosphere before bedtime. Meanwhile, to revamp your kitchen, you could position under-cabinet lighting to your cupboards to create a homely ambience while you’re cooking or entertaining.
So, with a little creative thinking and some consideration of these five tips, you should be able to transform your home with minimal hassle.
