Does your home feel like it always looks the same? Do you feel as though you don’t intentionally see what’s in your space anymore because nothing ever changes? In this blog post, we would like to provide 3 easy ways to refresh your home on a budget.
1. Change Focal Colors
One way to change up the look and feel of your space is to incorporate a new set of accent colors throughout your home. Does your home have vibrant colors, or does your home live in a beige paradise? Regardless, consider adding one or two new colors and removing a couple of others to give your home a fresh new feel.
This can be in accents such as pillows, blankets, paintings, or even a fresh coat of paint. Changing up colors in your home is an easy and super effective way to produce a new style that will definitely catch your eye.
2. Move Furniture
Not every room may allow this, but consider moving around furniture in your home for a fresh new look. Couches, antique furniture, storage baskets, and TV stands can all give a new look to a space when we simply rearrange them in a designated room.
Consider flipping furniture between rooms may give your home the new look you’re hoping for without having to spend thousands on a new living room set. Is this not possible? Consider moving decor to different locations in the home to accomplish the same feel on a smaller scale.
3. Consider How You “Use” the Room
Have the items in your house always remained in one particular location? Think kitchen cupboards and drawers, coat closets, bathroom vanities, and more. Oftentimes, when we move, we simply put our items where they “make sense,” but after years of living in the space, we find ourselves inefficiently running through the home to retrieve various items instead of strategically thinking about how we use our home and where the best location for those said items is.
In our last tip, we recommend taking a step back and really thinking about the “homes” for your items. Does it make sense where your kitchen utensils are? Does your coat closet work with the number of people living in your home? Are you always misplacing the dog leash because it doesn’t have a good place to hang? Take time to reevaluate and reconsider how you use your home. What items may benefit from moving to a new location is well worth your time and will definitely give a nice refresh to your home.
