Just like we have the urge to update our wardrobe once in a while, we have the same urge regarding our home decor. Sometimes we feel the need to change the energy of our home and turn it from boring to new and exciting. These updates can be done over just one weekend if you know what to focus on. Hopefully, this article will give you a few great ideas.
Tidy up!
When everything is out of its place, the room can look cluttered and stressful. If wherever you turn you see the mess that is clouding your vision and making you nervous, you need to turn to the sacred art of decluttering. The coffee table is covered with books, tissues, and coffee cups. The sofa is a pile of unfolded clothes, pillows, and unpaired socks. First, make a conscious decision to return everything to where it belongs. Clean clothes should be folded and placed in drawers and wardrobes. Return books to the bookcase if you’ve done reading it. Once you clear out the visual clutter, switch your focus to clearing out other areas that seem too crowded. Shelves, tables, and wardrobe deserve to be relieved of too many objects.
Change the layout of the room
Next, once every item is returned to its place and you can move freely through the room, think about changing the layout. When you rearrange the furniture, you update the vibe of the room with ease. The entire room will look and feel different. Try with a few simple changes like moving your sofa to the opposite wall. You can also switch places of the sofa and the armchair. Just remember to take the purpose of the room into the account and mind the foot traffic. With the new changes in tow, you still have to move freely without stubbing your toes on furniture.
Transform an awkward corner into a relaxing space
Every room has that one corner that is either empty and without a purpose or simply awkward. You should do some research and find a few simple ideas to transform the corner into a relaxing space. This can become your yoga space, meditation area, or a reading nook. Add something you can sit on like a bunch of pillows or a comfy armchair. Include a small coffee table where you can put your tea, coffee, and bring some aromatherapy into the mix. Position scented candles or essential oil diffuser on the table so that you can use the soothing effect of scents.
Add small touches to a room
A few brand new details, here and there won’t be seen at a first glance. But, they will make the room look like something is definitely brand new even though nothing much has changed. Put a vase with fresh flowers on the dining table. Change the color of decorative pillows and arrange them differently on the sofa. Give your windows some brand new magic by switching up your existing window treatments. Go for something that is neutral and elegant at the same time like roman blinds. Just avoid anything that makes the room look dark and lifeless.
Mirrors make a huge difference
No matter how big the room is, there is always room for a mirror. Mirrors should be considered the same way we consider pieces of art. They shine the light over a room and make a statement. You can position this decorative mirror opposite the window to reflect the beautiful outdoors. It will also enhance the amount of natural light and lighten up the room. If you consider placing the mirror someplace else, consider the reflection and whether it is something beautiful or not.
Upgrade the vibe with plants
We can all agree on the importance of natural light in any room because it makes the room look alive. Another thing that makes the room brim with life is greenery and lovely indoor plants. If you already have a selection of indoor plants you love, change their pots into something new that fits the color palette of your home. In case you’ve never considered adding plants into your home, change this right now. Not only will the plants brighten up the room, but they will also reduce stress and improve air quality. Start with one potted plant and slowly increase your collection over time.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to improve the vibe of your home. All you have to do is pick the right ideas you can easily turn into reality. Your home will be updated in just one weekend and you will enjoy the changes longer than it took to implement them.
