Having a home that gives you that spark of inspiration, that makes you feel happy and comfortable, is something that we all want. The good news is that there are a lot of ways you can upgrade your home’s interior, and not all of them have to break the bank. In fact, if you are prepared to do a little of the heavy lifting, you can save money and creator a home with that end finish you have neem looking for. To give you a few ideas, take a look at the list below:
Create Open Space
Open-plan rooms are extremely popular. They make a great space to enjoy with the family and friends. Creating multipurpose rooms and getting rid of that outdated old dining room is a great idea. If you have the budget, then you can start tearing down walls. However, you need to make sure that the walls are reinforced if they are load-bearing walls. Never just remove a wall; this can be extremely dangerous. If tearing down walls is not on the cards at the moment, how can you create more open space? One way is to get rid of all the bulky furniture that no longer serves your purpose. In fact, doing a thorough decluttering is a great way to create more space. Painting walls a lighter color creates more space, as does hanging up mirrors. You could try painting skirting the same color as the floor to give the illusion of more floor space. If you have larger furniture items you don’t want to get rid of just yet, try painting them a warm off-white color so it blends into the room better. There are plenty of space tricks out there if you are ready to work at it.
Features
Having a few features to draw the eye is a great idea. A popular idea is a feature all. This is where you choose a single wall in a room and design something a little different. Perhaps you could paint it a different color, or cover it with different wallpaper. Maybe a new fireplace could do it, or how about a gallery wall? Other features could be a large ornament that steals the spotlight or a stunning rug. Features offer a room a brand new feel, and it is subtler than completely going wild and changing the whole room. You can have a blend of the ordinary as well as the extraordinary by adding features.
Fixtures
Upgrading the fixtures is another simple and effective way of transforming a room. Fixtures include things like curtains or blinds, lampshades, door handles, drawer handles, and faucets in the kitchen and bathroom. You can upgrade the look of the sink and bath by doing this. Buy something different enough. You may even make it look like the whole thing has been changed. Other things you could do are to add a few floating shelves. This gives you the opportunity to put up a few plants and ornaments. Again this can change how a room looks and feels pretty simply.
