Take a shine to your present house — we’ve got the ultimate guide to turn old into gold
1 Bring to life any room with plants. Adding greenery to the interiors instantly induces freshness, injects color in the space and makes it relaxing. The visual impact of verdant greens makes the room lively and helps in regulating temperature.
2 Refresh your walls with a new coat or shade of paint to make them look brand new. Complementary colors can make rooms look dynamic and alive while going with a neutral, all-white scheme results in an expansive looking space and affords the luxury of adding color at your will.
3 Use mirrors instead of laminates on your cupboards. This will give an illusion of more space and make the room brighter. This also eliminates the need for a full vanity, thereby reducing the amount of furniture in the room.
4 Increase the amount of daylight streaming into your home by enhancing windows or installing skylights where possible. These will also help in ventilation and make the house appear spacious..
5 Introducing comfortable and soothing bedspreads is a must when redecorating. Refurbishing is not just about changing the layout of your space. Small tweaks like this can make your boudoir cozier while giving it a clean, and brand new look!
6 Turn an unused bar cart into a side table to give your bedroom an eclectic look. Use it to place an alarm, your phone, a few photo frames, and books as well. Its ease of movement around the space is a plus point too.
7 Use removable wallpapers if you want to change the look and feel of your home frequently. These come in a range of colors and designs and can be altered easily. So go ahead, play with solid hues, patterns and textures for your dream home.
8 Replace old rugs with new ones to revive your floors. If your carpet is damaged, we recommend you get it repaired or buy a new one. You can choose from various types like antique Persian or patterned dhurries. Alternately, you can leave the floor bare.
