Ideas To Update Your Decor Now

Like most of the country, you’re probably spent most of 2020 looking at the inside of your house, and you’re sick of the sight of it. 

If you weren’t one of those who headed off to B&Q during lockdown to redecorate your entire house, you’re probably looking for some quick and easy ways to update your decor without breaking the pre-Christmas budget. 

Here are our tips for quick and cost-effective ways to update your decor now. 

Put up some photos

Admit it, you have a phone with hundreds of great photos of the kids, family and friends but practically no trace of them in the house? Photos are a great way to add some personality to your home. Head over to look for picture frames at Best4Frames. You’ll be able to choose from a great range to update the look of your home. If you’re feeling really creative you can create an entire picture wall. 

Repaint your woodwork

If the doors and skirting boards in your house are white, then they can start to look dull over time, which affects the entire look of a room. So before you decide to redecorate an entire room, give your woodwork a fresh coat of gloss. You won’t believe the difference it makes. 

Change the soft furnishings

You don’t have to change your furniture to change the entire look of a room or hallway. Instead, buy a new rug, curtains and cushions in a different style or colour. They can breath new life into a room. 

Buy some houseplants 

Plants and greenery in the home can really brighten up your surroundings. If you have kids and pets, then go for non-toxic varieties. If you really aren’t green-fingered, then there are some amazing faux plants and silk flowers that you can barely tell the difference, and won’t have to keep replacing when the other ones die. 

Upcycle something

If you have an old piece of furniture you’re waiting for an opportunity to throw out, why not give it a new lease of life by upcycling it. There are so many ways to turn ugly furniture into the centrepiece of a room. 

If you are stuck for inspiration, there are so many videos and websites online devoted to upcycling. Some people even make their living from upcycling and selling on furniture. 

Rearrange the furniture

Sometimes a little change is all that’s needed to bring an entirely new feel to a room. Why not rearrange the furniture to create a new flow to a room. Even with all of the same furniture, it can feel like a different room. 

Don’t forget the little things

Focussing on small details and changing little things can update a room. Think of things such as light shades, switches, socket switches and door handles. 

Conclusion

Redecorating a room from scratch can be great but sometimes we have to find ways to make changes to what we have, creating a new feel to your home environment without having to break the bank to do it.
