Updating your space can seem like an expensive and time-consuming task. But, when you tackle one room at a time, you can transform your space on even a shoestring budget.
You can take a tired and uninspiring room and make it an uplifting area you want to spend more time in by adding some personal touches.
No one should have to live with rooms that don’t bring them happiness, and our easy makeover tips are designed to ensure you won’t.
Create A Gallery Wall
Creating a gallery wall is an easy way to create a stylish look and make the most of unused wall space. By putting different sized or coloured frames together along the wall, you can create a unique display of wall art prints or simply your favourite photos.
Sites like Pinterest are valuable sources of inspiration for a gallery wall, but also feel free to make your display your own! Colourful wall prints can bring life to a dull room or go for a more sophisticated look with neutral-themed wall art paired with monochrome frames.
Experiment With Light
One of the most overlooked features of a room’s decor is its lighting. Simple changes like introducing a decorative floor lamp can create a new dimension of light and help zone the space and give a cosy atmosphere.
Soft lighting with warm tones makes rooms feel more inviting, while your choice of light shade can have a surprising effect on the look and feel of your space.
Decorative light fittings can create interesting patterns on your walls and bring together the materials you’ve used in your space. For example, light fittings can help tie together fabric colours or textures that you’ve used elsewhere in the room.
Add Some Greenery
Whether it’s living plants that will need tending or fake greenery, just adding an aesthetic of fresh greenery can breathe new life into a room. Whether it’s a miniature palm tree or a fresh bunch of flowers in a vase, plants are an inexpensive way to introduce colour in a sophisticated way.
Update Your Soft Furnishings
Have you had the same cushions knocking about for years? Maybe it’s time to update your soft furnishings. This is an excellent opportunity to experiment with colours and textures without doing anything costly to your room that you might come to regret. So take the opportunity to mix different styles and fabrics to reflect your personal taste.
Accessories like cushions and throws can transform the tone of your space and provide all-important comfort that makes a room feel inviting. Rugs are also an often overlooked opportunity to zone your floor space and soften hard flooring.
By combining these quick and easy makeover tips, you can begin to create a space that no longer feels tired but instead exudes vibrance and personality. Focusing on the colours and textures you enjoy allows you to turn a seemingly complicated task into a much simpler path to interior bliss.
There are no rules for interior design, and if there were one, it would be: if you like it, do it!
