Fast Fixes to Give Your Home a New Look
It’s almost spring and if you need a small project to tide you over until you can devote more time, and money, to something larger here are some fun ways to get a new look. Here are some easy fixes to spruce up quickly and cheaply!
Paint
If you’re looking to freshen up your house, an inexpensive route is to paint. Local hardware stores sell a variety of colors to suit your mood and taste. The color scheme you choose can have a big impact on the room’s overall togetherness. For example, neutral colors like beige or gray can brighten things up and are perfect for larger living spaces like kitchens and living rooms. Blues or greens, on the other hand, are ideal for restful or relaxing rooms like a bathroom or bedroom. Yearning for something bright and fun? Paint your power room or entry way a cheerful color that shows off your personality. Combining different hues can create a welcoming yet calm ambiance. Regardless of your choice, you’ll be happy to paint those walls!
Did you know you can paint tiles? Painting your tiles enhances the style of your home without spending a fortune. With a quick coat of tile paint, you’ll have a new and unique look. Consider switching up the colors on your floors, shower tiles, and even backsplashes.
Add Some Green
Another way to brighten up your home is by simply placing some plants in various rooms. In addition to looking pretty, houseplants give owners a slew of benefits. For instance, the low-maintenance snake plant is known to remove toxins from the air.
Another classic plant is the pothos, which is perfect for any homeowner; it’s easy to grow and helps to relieve eye irritation from screen watching.
Houseplants are versatile, too. From planter boxes to countertops, you can place them just about anywhere to make a statement. Of course, different plants have varying care instructions, so it’s important to ensure you’re giving each one an appropriate amount of light and water. Treat your plants with care, and they’ll keep your house looking lovely.
Rearrange Furniture
A favorite fast fix idea of mine is to shop from your own inventory of furniture and accessories. While often overlooked, your furniture’s placement can speak volumes to your home’s feel. So, try rearranging your furniture. To start, it’s important to declutter. You don’t have to get rid of anything, of course, but if an item is wasting space, move it somewhere else. If it’s no longer bringing you joy list it for sale or donate to charity.
For quick results, pick your room’s focal point, and then place the accessories around it. If your TV is the living room’s center, your seating should face toward it. Additionally, utilizing wall space for large objects can give any room a sense of depth and openness. Above all, try not to have walkways blocked. Moving your items doesn’t cost anything, and it can really make a difference.
Whether you choose to spend a weekend painting the walls or moving around furniture, I hope these fast fix ideas help you spruce up your space and tide you over until you tackle bigger projects.
