3 easy and affordable steps to freshen up your home in the New Year
As we all settle into the New Year, there is no better time to freshen up your home. Here are a few interior design tips to help give you that well-needed boost for the year ahead just by adding a few quick and easy touches to existing spaces around your home.
1. Rearrange your furniture and let nature inspire you
Changing up the orientation of a particular room within your home, be it the bedroom or living room, almost immediately makes your space feel brand new by giving you a brand-new perspective to view the room from. Through changing around furniture and décor, you can instantaneously create new focal points and warmth within any room. To further brighten up your space, allow the beauty of nature to fill up your indoor space. From plants and flowers to materials like stone and woodgrain, introducing natural elements into your home can add interest as well as warmth.
2. Give love and add character to your walls
Adding a new focal point to your home with a statement wall is always the go-to-method to revive your space. This can be through adding a statement piece of art to a wall, creating a sophisticated and chic gallery wall or simply adding statement wallpaper to create a feature wall within your space.
3. Update Fabrics
Getting rid of outdated cushion covers and worn-out and heavy throws and replacing them with fresher and brighter colours can make all the difference to your room. Linen, cotton, and silk, for instance, can create a much lighter look and feel within a space as opposed to velvet and furs that we tend to use through the winter months. This is particularly the best way to transition to spring and can be used interchangeably from season to season to achieve a new and different feel.
All in all, make sure that in this new year, you fill your home with things you love that will make it the perfect sanctuary which encourages positivity and happiness. Always ensure that you let natural light into your space and create an ambience that will reflect in your mood daily and make your space more inviting.
Have a great year ahead!
