Decorate your house without leaving it? Here are some tips!
In the world of decoration there is a great variety of styles and ways of decorating a space. Still, it is important that your home is a true reflection of your personality and style.
Let’s start with some easy ideas to give your home a different look.
- Move your plants
Take all the plants you have at home and move them around. The idea is to place one plant in each room. So they help to create a natural and relaxed environment, to improve concentration and productivity.
- Furniture rearrangement
Start by changing the furniture from one area to another. Rotate the bed, place it behind another wall, use a nightstand as a side table in the living room, exchange the cushions, armchairs or decorative elements like pictures to give a different touch to every room in your apartment or house. For example, try placing new decorative items or vase in the bathroom.
- Home office
During coronavirus confinement, you may need to set up a work area at home. Be sure to separate it from the common areas so that it is a space reserved exclusively for work. This way you will be able to concentrate more on your job and become more productive.
- Decorate your flower pots
It is a good way to give new life to the plants you already have. In addition, it is an activity that can be done together with your family. The best ones for this are terracotta pots, which can be easily painted with acrylic paint or markers.
- Organise your shelves
There might be lots of old books we never read. Take advantage of your time to place them in different ways and add some decorative items between them, like lamps, houseplants, or baskets. Another great idea is to organize books on shelves either by size or color.
- Pay attention to your walls
There are many areas that need a new look with a simple touch of paint: the bottom of a staircase, baseboards, or just a wall in the room to give it a different feeling. You can also add painter’s tape to make geometric shapes and break the monotony of color.
Many people have a few cans of paint tucked away in our homes, from the times we did a last project or from when we moved in. Make sure it matches your current walls and then walk through the house and touch up the high-use areas, like door frames and baseboards.
If you have a printer at home, it is a perfect time to print photos that will bring back good memories and decorate your house. You can hang them on walls or put them inside a frame. Surround yourself with good times that inspire emotions anywhere in the house.
- In the kitchen
Usually we put some decorative items on the dining room table. Maybe it’s time to change it applying the same tips as before: find a plant, reuse an old kitchen tray, find stones or a book and make your table look new.
Clean out your fridge and spice shelf and figure out what you have and what you might be missing. Put it on the list and purchase next time you go shopping.
- Turn your bedroom into something new
To decorate your house try to turn your bedroom into an art gallery, library, or gym. Whatever be your choice, try to make your home as lively as possible with some paintings, plants, and other decorative items.
