Simple Décor Changes to Freshen up your Home
Thursday, June 25, 2020
Whether you love to entertain or sit by the fireplace and relax, this is the perfect time to decorate and give new life to your home.
After all, this year we’re all spending more time at home, so it’s important to make your environment feel more comfortable.
Preparations can be simple and enjoyable if you follow these few fun tips. Imagine that you are the artist, and your home will become your canvas…
First, tidy up!
Start by clearing the surface clutter from your house. This doesn’t have to be any elaborate event, just plan to invest a few hours on clearing the tables and counters to form your ‘slate’.
Sometimes tidying up is the most significant step in improving the look and feel of your environment. It can make all the difference in how your home feels to you and your loved ones.
Once your surfaces are somewhat cleared, you are ready to work your interior design.
Colour and Theme
First, decide on a colour theme. Choose a palette of traditional and aesthetic colours, or infuse your home with a touch of elegance by using white, gold, blue, or silver accents.
You can go all-out and paint the walls, but often all it takes to change the look and feel of a room are a few accent pieces or some fabric.
Integrate art onto the walls
Art brings character and personality to a home, as well as becoming a conversation-starter for guests. Consider integrating fine art, contemporary art and photography into your home with framed prints.
Inside-Out
Bring the inside out and vice versa. Create an inviting entry by decorating the mailbox and front door with wreaths, ribbons, or stylized text. With a little imagination, a glue gun, and colourful ribbons, your entrance will bring some much-needed cheer to the neighbourhood.
Enhance the look by bringing nature indoors. Centrepieces, mantel décor, tree trimmings, and accessories can be creatively integrated to reflect your unique style and bring a breath of fresh air into the home.
Contemporary Accents
Glass vases, bowls, and candelabras make the perfect items for decorating. Create a centrepiece by filling a large vase with candies or other small and interesting items.
Build on your vision by adding candles, table clothes, towels, and accessories that enhance this contemporary theme.
Vintage Décor
Antique furniture or items can all be creatively incorporated to design an old-fashioned look for you and your family. Turn bare nooks and crannies into “flashes from the past” by decorating them with childhood treasures tied with ribbons and sashes.
Antiques and vintage items do not have to break the bank; often, yard sales or stores offer inexpensive antiques for sale. There’s no need to go out – just take a look at offers and marketplaces online.
Introduce Colour with Flowers and Lace
Geraniums, white hydrangeas, or pinecones and berries are just a few of nature’s decorations that will add colour and zest to your home.
Build on your theme and watch your home take on an exciting new twist, alive with colour and charm.
Refreshing your home doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With a little planning and imagination the possibilities are limitless. Starting now, you are well on your way to a beautiful home that you and you’re family are certain to enjoy!
