Five ways to revamp and revitalise your home

By LLM Reporters   |  

A house is something which needs to be nurtured and cared for, which means it needs plenty of attention. When it comes to redecorating, it is fair to say that there are many different approaches which can be taken, and it can often be an expensive process.

Luckily, there are plenty of cost effective ways you can revamp your home using little effort, so it is worth looking at how you can apply these to your own property. Here are 5 ways you can revitalise your home.

Garden

As one of the most lively and vibrant spaces on your property, the garden should be a priority if you want to add some pizazz to your living space. You don’t need to hire an expensive landscape gardener, but instead you could install some luxury benches and/or an outdoor table.

You could also think about the colours you want in the garden, and try to plant flowers which correspond to these. Finally, installing some small, simple walkways can make a huge difference to the overall aesthetic of the garden.

A Lick of Paint

Any room which has been freshly painted will give the house a glow and make the room itself feel brighter and newer than before. No matter what your colour preference, there are plenty of ways you can get creative with paint, and you don’t have to stick to one colour in any given room.

Be sure to have a think about which colours complement each other, and you may also want to use a paint colour wheel to help you determine this.

Stairs

Unfortunately, stairs often go overlooked when revamping a house, but there are numerous ways you can spruce them up to maximise their charm. Installing a stair runner is one really effective way of adding some colour (and grip) to the stairs, and you can do this easily with any rug of your choosing.

You may also want to think about painting the banisters or even sanding them down to give them a fresh new look.

Furniture Placement

The way any given room is laid out can make the world of difference to its overall aesthetic, and this should be a main focus for anyone revamping their home. The main goal should be to maximise the space in the room through placing furniture strategically.

You may, for instance, consider putting cupboards squarely in corners, and any tables in the centre of the room. This will make each room look and feel more spacious, and also help to improve manoeuvrability.

Windows

Finally, you should always think about the role of windows in a room. They allow you to control the lighting, so putting some vibrant curtains in, or installing some nice wooden shutters, could well be a great idea.

Once again, a fresh lick of paint around the edges may also spruce them up no end.

There are plenty of simple ways you can make a big difference to your house. Dream big and use as much creativity as you can muster and, and you’ll find that anything is possible.
