Hey there!
I know what it’s like to not live in your “dream home”, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style or vision of how you want your home to look and ultimately feel. After all, it’s a reflection of you.
I am so excited to pass along my top 10 suggestions to give your space an instant facelift.
These changes will help you to get started in creating a space that you will love to spend your time in with your family and friends.
I guarantee these simple upgrades will be game-changers for you and your space. 🥰
1. Paint or Wallpaper
Refresh your space simply by painting or wallpapering. This is the easiest way to change the look and feel of your room. You can add a focal wall using paint or wallpaper to your room or give your space a total makeover.
Wallpaper has come a long way since the 70s. Now you can use removable wallpaper when you do not like the look anymore. It’s easy to install and tear down. It doesn’t take much to make a big impact on your space.
2. Declutter your Space
We are all guilty of this, having too much clutter in our homes because we just can’t seem to put things away, or we have too much stuff.
Did you know having a messy desk, room, or entire home can create anxiety, tension, and other negative emotions such as depression?
Once you declutter your space, make a note of how it feels. Most feel like a big weight is lifted off their shoulders, and tend to be calm, and relaxed in their space; who doesn’t want to feel like that?
Try it today, I dare you. 😂
3. Use Decorative Baskets for Storage
When decluttering your space, you may want to gather things and place them in decorative baskets so you can proudly show them off. When’s the last time to show off a Rubbermaid storage bin?
If you don’t want to show it off, then you can neatly hide things away in a closet or cupboard. It is a great storage solution that is lightweight, with different options to choose from based on your style and can create a stunning living space, even if it’s behind closed doors.
Baskets are often overlooked as a statement piece in your space, at least in my opinion. 😀
4. Replace Old Fixtures
Did you know that light fixtures are one of the first things you see when you enter a room, especially when they are outdated?
It’s easy to switch them out and can instantly change the look and feel of a room when you do it. It can give you that WOW factor that you want in your space. I recommend you use an Electrician to ensure everything is done properly.
5. Add Plants to Your Room
It’s a great way to bring nature into your space and create warmth. If you don’t have a green thumb, then you can always buy beautiful artificial plants and trees. They have come a long way.
6. Changing Kitchen, Bathroom & Interior Door Hardware
If you cringe at the sight of your hardware, it only takes 5 minutes to change it out.
Don’t be afraid to change the finish, shape, or style of the hardware. Get something that matches your style. These are easy changes to make but will have a huge impact once done.
7. Add Some Art
Bring focus to your room and spark a conversation. Choose a large print or create a gallery wall.
8. Add or Update Your Area Rug
Area rugs help to finish off your space and create a zone in a multi-functional space. It can act as a piece of art too!
9. Colour Block Your Closet
Have you ever considered organizing your closet by colour and by item?
Helps you to see what you have and is pleasing to the eye. Don’t forget to declutter before attempting this organizational style. It saves you time and energy when you need something fast.
It’s a great way to make your closet shine.
10. Add a Mirror
Did you know that a well-placed mirror can make your space feel larger? Yes, it certainly does. It also creates interest, depending on the style and adds function to your space.
