Caught between low-budget and an urge to give your house a makeover? A makeover doesn’t necessarily mean buying new furniture or doing a roomful of up-gradation. Sometimes one small change is all it takes to add panache to the otherwise dull room. Here are some of our quick, simple yet stylish tips for a quick makeover for your house:
1. Upgrade Your Light Switch Cover :- While we are busy adding artwork to the home walls, we ignore the drab, plastic switchboards, which are often placed in the centre. Its time upgrade the boring covers with snazzy covers to match your decor. Even the most expensive covers are affordable and will cost you way less than any form of wall décor. You can even decorate it yourself using craft paint of decorative covers. Don’t get too overboard with decoration though!
2. Change Kitchen and Bathroom Furniture’s Hardware :- Give the conventional pulls and knobs a break and upgrade them with funky and stylish knobs. The knobs will cost you just a fraction of the cost of installing new furniture but will still make your kitchen and bathroom look new and different. Be sure to measure the length of the older drawer pulls before buying new ones so that you won’t have to drill new holes.
3. Install a Wind Chime :-Â Install a wind chime in an area where it can hit a breeze. Not only they look beautiful but also the sound they produce makes the atmosphere of the room calm and serene. You can custom-made wind chimes to match or contrast your furniture. And if you are someone who believes in Feng Shui, wind chimes are believed to bring positivity and luck too!
4. Add Some Green to the Indoors :-Â We all love green outdoors but adding green to indoors can give your living room an amazing makeover. Place a side table with a small plant next to your sofa set or close to the walls in the living room. You can also place small pots of plants in the windows or in the stairs to enhance the natural feeling inside the home
5. Follow a Declutter Routine :-Â Nothing makes your house better than a daily declutter routine. Even if it is 10 minutes out of your daily schedule, it can certainly make a difference. Arrange the shoes neatly in a shoe-rack. Get rid of stuff from your fridge door. Stack important mails and papers in decorative boxes to hide the mess
6. Spray Paint to Add Colors to the Room :- Whether it is giving a funky makeover to the old mailbox or decorating the kids’ room, spray paint is a great tool for an affordable makeover. You can use a colour matching your furniture or go wild with bright hues. Either way, the end result will surely be worth the effort.
Don’t forget to remove the dirt and rust before using the spray paint. A base of neutral colors rust-proof paint is a good idea.
Simple ideas like re-adjusting your room furniture, replacing bed sheets with white linen or covering furniture with colourful fabric work wonder to give your house the needed makeover.
