6 easy tricks to freshen up your home

If you’ve lived in your home for a while, it’s not uncommon to tire of current interior design scheme. Over time we change, and our houses need to evolve alongside us. What we like (and dislike) along with the functionality and needs we require from our space is constantly changing, meaning that our homes require refreshing and renovating in order to suit our lives. Here are a few simple changes to renew and restore.

1. Try a new wall colour

Shake things up by changing your wall colour. A bold feature wall is great way to inject new life and a whole new look to your space.

2. Integrate spaces

One of the most cost effective ways to completely shift the look and feel of your home is to remove walls and/or integrate spaces. Combing spaces like your kitchen and dining area can create an open-plan, free-flowing living space that is both stylish and functional.

3. Consider moveable furniture

Moveable furniture is a great way to change the layout and look of your interior with minimal effort.

4. Accessorise your bathroom

If your bathroom looks old and dated it might be time to consider a refresh. Try adding some new accessories to the mix to instantly update your look. Wall art, lighting, even functional accessories like a new towel rack or soap dispenser can add new life.

5. Make use of wallpaper

Wallpaper can completely change the look of a room quickly and easily and with the wide range of colours, textures and patterns available, there’s something to suit every style and taste.

6. Incorporate colour

A splash of colour can make an immediate difference to the look and feel of a room. Carpets, curtains, cushions and other interior accessories are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to dip your toe into the world of colour without the risk of committing to a new paint shade.
