Home Improvement Ideas

Do you ever look at a room in your home and think ‘ugh, time for a change,’ but don’t have a huge budget to play with? There are plenty of inexpensive, yet effective ways to give your rooms a facelift. Spring is the perfect time to have a re-organising session so make a plan this weekend as to how you can give your home a new look.

Change is good

Just because you have always had your furniture set out one way, doesn’t mean it has to stay there forever. Change the orientation or configuration of large furniture and it will change the whole look of a room. Bring couches out from the wall, or if two couches have always been facing, try them in an ‘L’ shape or vice versa.

In a bedroom, try moving the bed to achieve a different look.

Soft furnishings add colour and texture to a room – it’s simple and inexpensive to source cushions in this season’s most fashionable colours, and nothing makes a couch say ‘lie on me and relax’ like luxuriously soft cushions and tactile throws.
