People say that change is as good as a holiday, and this is true not only in life but also in our homes. While you may have simply adored your living room when it was fresh, and the lingering scent of pine still clung to it, time has moved on, your tastes may have changed, and your decor may need some TLC. If a total overhaul isn’t on the cards, do not fret. With these three tips, you can breathe new life into any space (on any budget).
Make a Statement with a Furniture Upgrade or Update
When key pieces of furniture like your sofa start to look a bit shabby, the entire area can start to look a bit tired. The good news is that there are a few fixes for this problem. The first choice would be investing in a high-impact, classic piece that will not only look good and feel amazing but will also uplift the entire room. If you are in the market for something that is stylish, functional, and can be customised to fit any style of decor, the design experts at Ligne Roset Prado UK stockists with a flair for modern design, can help you pick the right piece for your room. For the budget-conscious shopper, consider a more novel approach, such as new covers for older furniture. Choose a fabric that fits the overall style of your living area but is also durable and washable to ensure it stays looking fresh for longer.
Bring the Outdoors, In
Plants are wondrous additions to homes as they not only bring splashes of vibrancy to a room, but they also act as a natural de-stressor that can help reduce anxiety, improve focus, and even help people recover from mental fatigue. If that’s not enough reason to include a houseplant in your upgrade, consider that they also help to improve the air quality in your home, so they can quite literally help you breathe easier. If you don’t have space for a sprawling Monstera or a fern set on overflowing its planter, consider something small like a Zamioculcas, or ZZ plant. These shade-loving plants are drought-resistant (so they don’t mind if you forget to water them for a while) and slow-growing, so you shouldn’t need to worry about repotting them too often. They also thrive in the shade, making them perfect additions to rooms that don’t get a lot of sunshine.
Improve First Impressions with a New Look for Your Front Door
We’ve focused a lot on interiors, so let’s take a moment to step outside for our last tip. Your front door is a vital part of your home as it is often the first thing a visitor will see, making it the perfect candidate for an upgrade. Consider giving your entryway a new look with a splash of colour, one that matches the exterior of your house but still makes a statement. This will ensure your visitors have something to talk about from the moment they set foot in your home.
Even the most stylish of home needs an update now and then. Fortunately, with some well-chosen pieces of furniture, a bit of greenery, and a hint of colour, you can breathe new life into any part of your home.
