Are you feeling bored with the décor of your home but don’t know
what to change. Forget playing safe and try some bold new moves to change the
look of your home.
Explore bold colours
Paint your living room in an unusual color. Charcoal,
scarlet, burnt orange or even black is an option. However, make sure it is a
color you are willing to live with. Don’t choose some dramatic color that
becomes an eyesore to you as soon as it dries also make sure that the
accessories and furnishings are restful and complement the bold colour.
Play with artwork
You don’t always have to hang artwork at eye level. Try some
new arrangement with your art and see how your room comes alive. Place a large
frame against the wall, set one on the end table, put up smaller pieces on the
bookshelf and hang a piece you love on the back of the door.
Paint the floor
Forget a new rug. Just pain the floor. Stencil a design you
like or use tape to section off areas and get creative. Paint with porch paint
and top with a couple of coats of polyurethane to seal it. If this seems too
dramatic, consider getting a piece of plain PVC flooring and painting that.
Bring home some fur
Fur spells glam, opt for a décor element and see the magic.
You don’t have to go big things like a pouf, a runner for the sofa or a rug —
can add a touch of classic Hollywood touch to the simplest of rooms.
Opt for high-gloss lacquer paint
Paint an old item like an end table or a sideboard in high
gloss lacquer paint. The paint will add instant shimmer and shine and make
piece sing.
Add memories to
cabinets
Print out old family and other photographs on thick glossy photo
paper and make collages on the cabinets in the kitchen. These add an
inexpensive and nostalgic touch to your kitchen.
Redo the refrigerator
You can’t buy a new fridge every season, but you definitely
can do it up. Nowadays you get a lot of material like magnets, variety of
fabric and washi tape which you can use to create your own DIY accents for your
fridge. The internet has thousand of ideas on how to dress up your
refrigerator, from DIY fridge magnets to coverlets etc.
