Five Great Projects to Liven up your Home

January 30, 2017

Homes need constant refreshments and updates, and in many cases making the right decision can be tough.

You as a homeowner have probably thought about ways to liven up your home.

Making small improvements to your home will make it more enjoyable to live in, give it a fresher look, and also if you at any time decide to sell it, will increase its value.

Here are some great projects that will help you achieve a new and better atmosphere and liven up that boring home of yours in no time.

GREEN IT UP

The most refreshing things that you can have in your home are plants. Not only do they look amazing and bring the soft natural colours inside, they also filter your air and provide you with fresher and cleaner air every day. You can go big and place potted plants in the corners of your rooms, or go small and create your own indoor garden.

REFRESH THE BATHROOM

Refreshing the bathroom is always a good idea, because let’s face it, we spend a lot of our time in there. There are many small projects you can begin with, like creating a stackable plate organiser to declutter your bathroom or mount mason jars above the sink for all your little trinkets.

But, if you are a little more skilled, you can update your bath fixtures like changing the faucet, installing a new showerhead or even retile the bathroom with some of the most common types of bathroom flooring options.

DIY RACKS TO HOLD YOUR PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS

If you are getting tired of misplacing your keys, purses, scarves, jackets and other small items you need on a daily basis, we think that now is the right time to roll up your sleeves and start crafting.

Racks are very simple and easy to make, the tools you are going to need are probably lying somewhere around your home, and the rest you can pick up at the nearest hardware store.

A FRESH COAT OF PAINT

Perhaps the cheapest way to liven up your boring home in no time is to slap a new coat of paint. Scuffs, scratches and dents on the walls not only give an old and worn out look, but they also lower the value of your home.

FILL UP A WALL IN YOUR LIVING ROOM

Like the name itself suggests, the living room needs to offer comfy living and be lively. But, if your walls are blank and in pure white, there is no way to fully enjoy the comfort of this room.

This is the right time to dust off your boxes filled with family photos and frame some of the memories from the past.

You can even gather some posters of your favourite movies and shows to bring your living room to life. Organise these frames above your TV, the couch or even a fireplace to create an entertainment corner. This is where you can think outside the box and show off your creativity in displaying some of your best memories. You can even frame old money, old postcards, inspirational quotes, or whatever else comes to mind.
