Every once in a while, a home needs a spring clean and a facelift.Remove Old Appliances
Maybe you need a change of scenery, want to knock some walls out, or invest in a new sofa or coffee table to give the room a breath of fresh air.
Here are five ways you can update your home decor with minimal effort to achieve maximum results.
1. Give Your Kitchen a Makeover
You can give your kitchen an instant makeover for very little money with companies like Layed, who supply vinyl wrap for kitchen cabinets and worktops, allowing you to change your look from wood to concrete, marble or even leather!
If your kitchen is not yet tired enough for a brand new refit, but you fancy a change, wrapping your units can give them a new look, but can also help to protect them from any accidental damage.
2. Remove Old Appliances
If you’ve recently bought a new house, there may be pre-existing appliances that are sold with the house like stairlifts.
If you don’t need them, you can have them easily removed by companies like We Buy Any Stairlift, who can remove your stairlift and have the parts sold or recycled to reduce the impact on the environment by putting the stairlift in landfill.
Additionally, having a stairlift removed by experts will reduce the likelihood of damage to the stairs or the adjacent walls, meaning that you won’t need to completely re-decorate afterwards!
3. Put Up Some Photos
Putting photos up on your walls can help to give your home a more personalised touch, and create some personality in your home.
Gone are the days of going to the local camera shop to get your film developed. Now you can print your pictures at home, or even use websites like Photobox to have your photos printed to your preferred size for scrapbooking, or just putting up on your walls.
You can choose from large prints, retro prints, or you can even opt for photobooks that compile all your favourite books into one volume – perfect for coffee tables. You can even print a custom-made calendar with your favourite photos under each month!
4. Create Bigger Rooms with Paint
Did you know that by painting your smaller rooms in a particular way, you can make them look deceptively bigger?
Choosing a lighter colour palette like pastels, magnolia, cream or white can help your rooms look lighter and more airy, and by pairing it with minimalist decorations on walls, you can reduce the appearance of any crowding in your room.
5. Build Thrifted Bookcases
If you need an upcycling project, you could build bookshelves with reclaimed or recycled wood.
Scaffolding boards are commonly used for wooden projects, and are often sold in bulk for a largely discounted price. They can provide a rugged and homely atmosphere to a room, and paired with your favourite book selection, they can also provide you with a cosy reading spot.
