Spice Up Your Home

Do you ever think to yourself about how dull and boring your house or apartment is? Well do something about it and spice it up a little! It doesn’t have to be drastic; just a little something it can make it look ten times better. Here are some pointers on how to spice up your home without damaging your bank account.

Kitchen

We all don’t have the money to renovate our kitchen, or get new brilliant granite countertop. So instead start off by clearing off your countertops and only keeping out what is necessary, I find the simpler the better. Then pick a colour that matches your kitchen, and try finding things in that colour ie. Sugar, tea and coffee jars, a kettle, pots and pans. Keeping it nice and simple with a little dash of colour is the best way to go for a kitchen, especially when space is limited.

Family Room

There’s so much you can do in a family room, firstly try rearranging your furniture, you might think you have it in the right position but you never know. Spice it up by changing up the pillows or buying a new rug, add a little colour into the room. If you don’t want to do anything major, just change the pictures in the photo frames. A family room is supposed to be somewhere everyone can relax and hang out, so remember to make it comfortable.

Bedroom

To add a little spice to your bedroom, try painting a vertical panel of colour behind your bed (your bed has to be in the centre of the wall for this, otherwise it will look very odd) that goes with existing colour in the room. If you really don’t want to paint, then buy some new bedding or curtains to add a little something to your room. Your room should be done up how you want it be, go wild!

There’s so much you can do to change your home, but a lot of people just don’t know where to start. If you really need some help pick up some decorating magazines, or call up an interior decorator. Just remember you’re the one who has to live there so do what you like!
