colour
Bring your home to life with IT’S amazing the changes that can be made to any room of your home with just a splash of colour. From a few scatter cushions, coloured bottles and candle holders to changing the colour of fabric on your couch or dining chairs your home can be brought back to life.
Walls
The most common way to add colour to an otherwise blank canvas, is a feature wall. It is a look that has become incredibly popular in recent years, with many homeowners painting or papering one wall in a bold colour or pattern. If you think that a feature wall would be a little too much there are other options for adding a feature colour, such as adding a bright rug.
Furniture
If you want to avoid adding a huge block of colour, a fantastic way to break up a boring, neutral scheme is with a pop of colour from chairs or furniture, and an upholstered chair is great for this. Furniture is the perfect way to introduce a burst of colour into a white or neutral room
as it can easily be altered or replaced. If a bright coloured lounge suite or upholstered dining chairs aren’t what you’re looking for, then a few bright scatter cushions will do the trick, and the best thing is you can change or remove them at any time you wish.
Artwork and accessories
Dining rooms often have an air of lavishness about them, so you can take advantage of this and give your room a touch of luxury by hanging artwork on the walls. Even just one large photograph, print, or painting will add much-needed colour to the room. Adding some greenery, a beautiful vase of flowers or some coloured glass jars and matching candle holders are other great ways to add colour and life to your homes interior.
Bring your home into the
modern day
WHETHER your home is 10 years or 110 years old, giving it a modern edge to bring it back into the current day can be a challenging and expensive feat, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some simple ways to bring your home up to date, without breaking the bank.
It’s all in the details
Pick up a few of your favourite home magazines, or visit ‘home’ websites and use them to draw inspiration to find modern home detailing. Simple details like yellow light switch plates can date your home and simply changing them to white or a matching décor colour will be a good start to bringing your room into the modern day.
Let there be light
Home light fixtures usually are made for the current times so by updating ceiling, hallway, bedroom and bathroom fixtures
you will modernise your space and could even bring better and more efficient light into your home. You could even try to reduce or remove fixtures by bringing in more natural light, which is all the rage right now.
Material
Flooring, wallpaper, kitchen/bath counters and sinks/bathtubs are an instant tell-tale sign of age. By replacing worn and outdated carpet, putting up some new and modern wallpaper or adding a fresh lick of paint, refacing cabinetry and replacing any seriously outdated bath tubs and sinks can do wonders.
