If you have the desire to change the décor in your home, then there a variety of ways that you can update your rooms to make them fresher and brighter. You don’t even have to take a lot of time or spend a lot of money to do it.
Here are some of the ways you can quickly and easily brighten up every room in your house.
Add Color
If you currently have dark colors in your room, then you can immediately brighten things up by introducing more whites and off-whites. It is a good idea to start with the furniture and then accessorize with color afterwards.
Change your furniture to something in white and add cushions and throws that have a color you like. The throws will also stop the white furniture from getting dirty with use.
If you don’t like the idea of using white furniture, you can always choose a light wood instead. It will also give the feeling of a brighter room while remaining a natural wood look.
If you want to add another color to the room, consider putting pictures on the wall and having flowers such as roses on display. Many companies such as Spring In The Air, can send a bunch of roses direct to you, so you don’t have to go out and find them. This also means you can have fresh flowers in your home regularly.
Decorating
The fashion for colors of wallpapers and paints changes all the time. If you previously went with a darker color, try changing it to something light. Try to match it with the furniture you have chosen, although you don’t have to go over the top.
If you have a strong color that you like, then you can always paint one wall in the room and leave the others in a lighter color. Try to use bright colors around the windows so that it reflects the light and adds brightness to the room. Strong, blod colors are ideal for accents in a room.
Flooring
In most cases, people choose flooring that is the easiest to keep clean and maintain. For this reason, not many people would use a light-coloured carpet in a room that had a lot of footfall during the day.
One way you can still add color and light is to have colored rugs on the floor around tables and walking areas. It will draw the eye to that area and take the most of the traffic going through the room.
Windows and Doors
You want to encourage as much light to come into the room as possible, so try not to put dark, heavy curtains at the windows. Use light fabrics that can be tied back during the day to allow the light to come in.
You also don’t want to have furniture or other objects in the way of the window, instead, place arm chairs by the windows so you can get the best from the natural light.
With a little color in the right places, you can transform even the dullest room into something full of brightness.
