Top 7 Tips To Improve Your Home

Need to give your home a refresh? Here’s a few simple ways to beautify your home. Is your home looking a little tired/messy/scruffy? Feel like you need a few easy tricks to make your home look pretty and welcoming? Here are 7 small changes in making your home look pretty!

1. Declutter

This is a simple, but good option. If you are like me for example a hoarder and cannot bear to throw things out, now is the best time to do this. No excuses! Almost everybody has these little spots of clutter a box over here, a pile of papers over there. You may barely even notice these things, because you’re so used to seeing them.  From sorting out clutter on the kitchen worktops to making sure all the kids toys are stored away in the cupboard, this is an easy, cost-free way of ensuring your home looks good. Plus it will make your home spacious, minimal and less is more as they say! 

A neat trick I’ve found for spotting clutter that you can no longer see? Take a picture of your home. This will help you see it through new eyes, and maybe inspire you to find permanent homes for things that are sitting out.

By removing one or two items creates a more breathable, relaxing atmosphere, and gives the things that are left a chance to really shine. This doesn’t mean you have to get rid of the things you love. You can move them to another room, or put them in storage, and then rotate them back in (and take something else out) when you’re ready for a change.

2. They say they come in threes

As soon as you start displaying items in a group of three they begin to look like an edited selection of items that have been carefully curated. 

3. Plump up your cushions

Whether it’s on your bed or your sofa, plumping up your cushions will make the world of difference. Everything will look fresh, pretty and stylish.

4. Use scented candles

There are many reasons to love  fragrant accessories. For a start they look good on any shelf or mantelpiece, but also they give your home a wonderful scent which makes it feel inviting, appealing and cosy.

5. Embrace the diagonal

One way to make a room a little more exciting is to use shapes, diagonal or geometric. You can try this with furniture pieces like accent chairs or rugs. There is no rule that says everything has to sit on a grid. By looking at your home like a stylist, you can unlock the potential that’s been there all along…
