Top Six Do-It-Yourself Home Tips
If you have been thinking of renovating your house but don’t know where to start, the following article will offer help through useful tips that will not only help revamp your home but are also easy on the pocket. Let us take a look at some DIY home décor tips.
Fix a budget
Before you start, decide the amount of money you will be able to spend. Bigger budget certainly means you have the freedom to splurge but it doesn’t guarantee satisfaction. Take a look around to determine where to start. The key is to prioritize your needs over wants and initially experiment with only small things.
The first impression
It is important for the house to have the ‘wow’ factor. Your abode must make that perfect first impression when a guest walks in. So begin with the entrance area. As guests walk in, they first set their eyes on the foyer space so capitalize on that. Hang a beautiful painting or a grand mirror on the front wall. You may also place a bold and artistic center piece on a majestic table.
Add foliage
Fresh flowers and green plants are a great way to brighten up the house. You can place palms in the empty corners of a room or keep them beside furniture. Flowers placed in flower vases on the center table can make quite an impression. This tip is a must-do as greens are easy to maintain and are definitely pocket-friendly. Your home will feel breezy and you can flaunt about being eco-friendly!
Rearrange the furniture
The old arrangement of furniture usually gets boring after a while. So go in for a newer layout. It is surprising to see how re-positioning the furniture can make an area look new and welcoming. Pick a focal point like the fireplace or window and set the furniture around it. Do it in such a way that it complements the entire space. Remove the extra stuff and keep it roomy. You may bring artifacts from other rooms that match this setting.
Paint the walls
The first and the foremost element noticed in a room is its walls. You can paint the accent wall with a bold shade that will highlight your furniture. Keep the rest of the walls a few shades lighter so that the accent wall draws maximum attention. A few wall hangings, paintings, souvenirs or framed family photographs can really highlight the wall. You may also adorn the wall with some stylish wallpaper.
Focus on lighting
The lighting of a room can make or break its look. Agreed that low lighting sets the mood, but decent lighting will take the beauty to a whole new level, while bad lighting can even make the place look like a shady bar. All you need to do is keep the source of light concealed. Buy lampshades and give the old lamps a new stylish look. To get a customized look, you can drape an existing fabric that complements your décor around a shade. You may also add crystals or ribbons to it to enhance the look.
