There are
many subtle ways by which you can transform your home. This doesn’t not have to
be something expensive or outlandish; just a little touch here and there and
the entire ambience is transformed.
5. Add a hanging pot holder to your
kitchen
Kitchens are meant to be warm and inviting. We spend
much of our time in them whether it be for preparing meals, serving meals or
entertaining. A hanging pot rack is useful elegance. Kitchens are meant to feel
as though they are in constant use and a hanging pot rack certainly makes one
feel this way. In addition to looking so wonderful, (there are many sizes and
styles available) additional cupboard space below is now freed up to store
other items. Seldom has anyone complained of having too much storage.
6. Use flowers
Add plants to your living space. Add them to every
room, small or large, few or many. Plants are an inexpensive means to
accessorizing your space and adding color and texture. Not only are plants beautiful
but many can clean household air and balance humidity. They can absorb
pollutants and remove harmful gases from the air. No home should be without
these wonderful greens!
7. Paint or wallpaper your bookcases
This instant pop of color will brighten and
re-energize any room! It’s amazing how something as simple as a coat of
colorful paint can instantly energise and transform your space. Perhaps the
simplest and most inexpensive way to transform a boring space is to apply a
coat of paint somewhere unexpected. Bookcases are an ideal place to start
because you don’t need to paint a large area. Other fun places to add a pop of
color include painting fireplace mantels, the insides of closets, hallways and
ceilings.
8. Use area rugs to soften hardwood
floors
Throw rugs give warmth and can add great texture,
color and personality to your living space. Tiled floors are beautiful and easy
to maintain but they lack the comfort that carpeted floors offer, especially in
the cooler months. Area rugs can add fun and functionality to your living
space. Use several of varying patterns and fabrics together to showcase your
character. You can also add several rugs of the same pattern and fabric, or
different textures but the same color.
The possibilities are endless. You can
change your area rugs to reflect the seasons using warmer tones and fabrics for
cooler months and lighter ones for the warmer days of the year. There are many
lovely cotton, washable area rugs which are ideal for those homes with
children. There really is no reason why a home with young children cannot also
be a stylish one.
Keep in mind that too many items can make your place
look crowded and difficult to clean. What beautifies a room are items selected
carefully and displayed elegantly. So, take this into consideration before you
start decorating. When you finish decorating, don’t forget to clean your house.
You know, no matter the design, if a place is dirty, it just doesn’t look good.
The sooner you complete cleaning, the better.
