Home Investments Which Will Make All the Difference
Friday, March 03, 2017
From scented candles to shells in the bathroom, it can be fun to
focus on the small accessories which brighten up our homes. But are we
neglecting the bigger picture? It can be tempting to clutter our homes with
impressive nick-nacks, whilst ignoring the larger jobs that need to be done. The
initial layout for these big jobs is high, but it’ll be well worth it. Check out
these home investments which will make all the difference to your home.
Carpets
A well-fitted, great colored carpet is a great foundation for a
room. Besides paint, it’s possibly the only other large block of color you’ll
have in a space. So it needs to set the tone and mood appropriately. If you have
carpeted floors, they may be feeling worn and thin underfoot after so much wear
and tear. Replacing them
is a great investment and immediately makes a home feel luxurious.
If you’re opting for a thick carpet which you can sink into,
stick to darker color. A thick carpet is decadent and your color scheme needs to
be equally sensuous to match. Deep purples or classic grays are a great way to
go. If you have wooden flooring, you want to accentuate that rather than cover
it up. A small sheepskin rug is a good way to add some interest and warmth to a
room. Without overshadowing the beautiful floors. Make sure your floors are
sanded back for the full impact.
Lighting
Instead of just sticking a boring conical lampshade onto a raw
bulb, get creative with your lighting. Lighting can be used to enhance the
atmosphere of a house. It can make rooms warmer and focus our attention on
specific areas. If you want to flood a room with natural light, shop around for
windows at Northwest
Exteriors. Alternatively add some atmosphere to rooms with lamps, low-slung
fittings, and different shaped shades. There are also some great decorative neon
pieces that add personality to a room. Fairy lights can also work when done
tastefully. Just be careful not to go overboard with your illuminations!
Bathrooms
If there’s any room in the house where you should invest your
time and money, its the bathroom. The
bathroom is a communal room that needs to work for everybody. But it should
also be an area that you can escape to for some solace and tranquility.
Bathroom storage is a great investment. Messy shampoo bottles
and discarded razors don’t set a tranquil atmosphere. Instead, invest in some
vanity units or cabinets and store your toiletries away. A sunken bath is an
easy [but expensive] way to replicate a spa-like feel. Get some good quality
towels and robes to put in your bathroom too. Whilst it may be pricey, this room
deserves some love and attentions.
