Non-Reno Ways To Upgrade Your Space
Start With A Good Clean
Keeping your house clean is definitely the starting point for making your living space feel completely fresh and new - not to mention, bigger and brighter.
Start with a good declutter, especially the closets in your home, as this will eliminate all that extra junk you have cluttering up the spaces you will want to use for future storage.
As far as everyday maintenance some areas have bigger payoffs than others. Keeping up with dishwashing instead of letting them pile up definitely has one of the biggest payoffs.
Another big payoff that often goes overlooked is keeping your windows clean so you don't have any streaks when you look outside or in the rooms of your home. Not only does this make a difference in light, but it affects your natural line of vision - a clean window opens up your home in a subtle way you may not even be aware of. You can also invest in some air purifiers for specific rooms, which will help reduce allergens and dust from the air, improving overall quality.
If there are stains on your sofa or carpets, then it might be time to call for steam or pressure cleaning professionals before they set into place permanently. If you cannot remove these items easily, take a favorite hack from us and cover them up by placing blankets or rugs over the top until you feel like rearranging furniture again. Just don’t tell anyone you got that trick from us…
Take Care of Your Garden and Plants
Taking care of your garden and plants is a simple way to change the outlook of your house and to add vibrance and life. It is a fast and easy method that you can do even if you don't have time or resources.
Plant some easy care flowers and plants that look good in your garden or front yard. You can also add small decor pieces, such as a birdbath or urn planters. Similarly, you can beautify the inside of your house with indoor plants. Indoor plants are an easy way to ensure there is always something alive and green inside your home.
Plants create oxygen and provide beauty and they keep us company. If you don't have enough space for additional outdoor decorations like this, place potted plants around different parts of the house - out on the porch, near entrances into rooms – anywhere where it might catch someone's eye.
Have Some DIY Decor Pieces in Your House
The DIY decor is a great way to add a personal touch with high impact. Using some old but good quality frames, you can create magnificent wall decor using things like photos or paintings of landscapes that motivate and give positive vibes. You could also put up inspirational quotes on them for an even better effect.
Mind Your Home’s Lighting
Lighting is one of the easiest ways to change your home's look. You can make it warm and cosy by playing with different types of lights, or you can go for something more dramatic if that's what you like. The main thing is not to think about lighting as a separate element in decoration - instead, use it as another type of furniture (if that makes sense).
If your house doesn't have enough natural light coming into each room, choose some fittings that spread good light around. If there are too many sources, tone them down using lampshades to fit better with the general mood created by other features in the room, such as wallpapers or flooring materials. x
