As a homeowner, you’ve probably looked at your house at one point and felt unsatisfied by its interior or exterior. This can be because the wall paint is fading. It can also be because the design you’ve used in your interior the last time you painted your home is now outdated. Whichever the case may be, you can refresh your home with new colors. 

You don’t have to break the bank to refresh your home. Small meaningful changes can go a long way to make your space look amazing! If you’re ready to refreshen your home, consider incorporating the ideas below.

Paint Your Home

Paint Your Home

One effective way to refreshen your walls is by adding new paint. Many people opt to hire professionals for this task, but painting makes a great DIY project as it’s simple when you have all the tools and materials. When doing it yourself, it’s essential to take your time in choosing the right paint. When it comes to interior painting, you’ll need to find the best interior paint with good quality and a color scheme that complements your home. 

The paint should also be mold-resistant to prevent mold growth in moist areas like basements and bathrooms. If you want to spend money, you can contact one of the painting companies in Melbourne for a neat outcome. After painting your interior, you’ll need to install shades and curtains or UV protectants to block sunlight that causes interior paint-fading.

Likewise, exterior painting can transform your home’s look. However, exterior painting is more complex than interior painting, especially if you have a multi-story building. Therefore, you should plan the project well and get the right equipment. Additionally, you should choose the right exterior paint that can withstand the elements.

Refreshen And Rearrange Your Furniture

Rearrange Your Furniture

Refreshening your outdated furniture is a fantastic and inexpensive way to give your interior space a new look. There are different ways to refreshen your furniture. For example, you can paint your dining tables and chairs to change their look. 

You can transform your living room by swapping your throw pillows to match the mood and season. For instance, if the living room feels dull, add colorful throw pillows to bring uplifting vibes. Additionally, regularly updating your bedding with compelling and popping colors can add life to your bedroom.

Aside from freshening up your furniture, you can re-arrange them to give your home a fresh start. Whether in your living room, bedroom, or dining room, rearranging things is one of the most effective ways to refresh your space without spending a buck. Consider using a room layout app for virtual assistance in rearranging your furniture effectively. 

Also, take precise measurements before moving things because you don’t want to get sidetracked halfway when you realize that the couch can’t fit in the new space. Finally, once you have your arrangement plan, start with the large pieces of furniture. They will serve as the focal point of your project. Then finish by rearranging the smaller items and decorations.

Light Up Your Space

Light Up Your Space

Just like paint color, lighting is crucial in refreshing your space. Good home lighting makes your space more lively, comfortable, and functional. Lighting plays a key role in the architectural design of your home because it enhances every detail. Without adequate lighting, the interior design, focal points, and artworks may go unnoticed. To effectively light up your space, learn the following three types of lighting:

  • Ambient lighting: This is the primary source of lighting in a home. It provides a comfortable amount of light that helps you navigate your rooms comfortably. Examples of these lights are chandeliers, track lights, LED (light-emitting diode) lights, and wall-mounted lights.
  • Task lighting: These lights focus at one point to help accomplish a task more easily. Examples of task lighting include desk lamps, under-cabinet lights, vanity lights, and pendant lights.
  • Accent lighting: These are lights that help bring drama and character to various objects. Generally, they are used to draw attention to the object you want to highlight. Examples of these lights include candlelight, floodlights, wall sconces, and chandeliers with dimmers. 

By using appropriate lights, you’ll warm up your space and improve the architectural design of your home. 

Go Green

Incorporating indoor plants in your home is a magnificent way to add color and visual interest to your home’s decor. Whether it’s a large potted plant, several small succulent trees, or cacti, the options are limitless. Indoor plants have many more benefits beside refreshing your home. They help dissipate harmful air pollutants and debris that are produced by household products thus improving air quality. 

For this reason, it’s essential to regularly clean your plants and take them outside periodically to help boost their health. One more benefit is that indoor plants add charm and coziness in bedrooms. They help boost oxygen levels, thus improving your sleep.

Conclusion 

There you have it! Those are some of the ways to spruce up your home without breaking the bank. If you feel your home has become dull and outdated, try out one idea every couple of weeks and notice how your home transforms.
