Quick ways to UPGRADE YOUR HOME
Got some spare time this weekend? Good! Update an area in your home in less than 24 hours.
CHANGE YOUR DOOR AND CABINET KNOBS
Replace plain old knobs and handles with fun, quirky ones in unusual shapes or bright colours and patterns. Or give your old handles a fresh coat of paint in a contrasting colour.
CREATE A GALLERY WALL
Have a blank wall in your home that you are not sure what to do with? Consider creating a gallery wall of framed prints, your fave holiday snaps or some treasured pictures of family and friends. You can either opt for a random assortment of frames in different shapes and sizes or the same frames for a more polished look.
A FRESH COAT
A fresh coat of paint can give new life to some old chairs and tables and uninspiring walls. Touch up banged-up skirtings, door and window trims, and wall marks that won’t wash away.
ADD SOME GREENERY
One of the easiest things you can do to freshen up your home is to add flowers, plants, branches and even leaves from your garden. Greenery adds texture and a natural element to any space.
UPCYCLE YOUR FURNITURE
Upcycle furniture such as couches, armchairs and even your bed. You can have the items reupholstered or, a quicker fix, cover them with a textured or patterned throw.
THINK ABOUT WALLPAPER
Wallpaper is a great decorating tool that completely transforms a room or space. It is the perfect option for creating a statement wall or for updating the interior of a walk-in closet. There are so many patterns and colours to choose from – you are guaranteed to find the perfect match for your home.
