Adding Some Flair To Your Home Of Disrepair

No matter how old and neglected your home, no household is beyond saving. You might have given up on making your interior design look stylish or keeping your rooms clean and tidy a long time ago, but you don’t have to be overwhelmed by the thought of sprucing up your humble abode. It always seems like it’ll be a bigger task than it actually is. With a few small improvements, you can spruce up even the most “far gone” of households. Here are some pieces of advice that should help you to add some flair to your home of disrepair. Screw on your DIY hat because this is all stuff that you can do by yourself.

Make your home feel welcoming

With a dose of DIY, you can completely transform the interior of your home. You should start by repainting the walls with a neutral color – think of cream or some shade of white. Not only will this make your home look fresh and new, as a new coat of paint always does, but it’ll naturally brighten your house; white reflects light, and this will help sunlight to bounce off your walls and light up your room. Obviously, using neutral colors throughout your house with furnishings and other aesthetic pieces will help to achieve this effect too. Warmth is also crucial when it comes to creating a welcoming home. Aesthetic flair is one thing, but your home needs to possess “the cozy factor” too. Don’t be afraid to get some throws or cushions for your couches; it’s important to have a stylish design, but nobody wants to sit on an uncomfortable couch.

Show your garden some love

So many homeowners neglect their garden, but that means they’re wasting their home’s true potential. Your outdoor space is important to your house; if you’re letting the grass grow tall and the flowerbeds fall into disrepair then you’re missing a trick. If you want to add some flair to your house then you need to make that first impression count. The way your home looks on the outside is important. Take some time to mow the lawn, get some Fiskars hedge trimming shears and trim back those overgrown hedges, and get some fresh plants or flowers so as to give your garden some life again. You could even plant a tree. Help nature to flourish.

You should focus on the creature comforts too. Obviously, putting some effort into maintaining the natural aspect of your garden is important so that it remains colorful and aesthetically pleasing, but you want your garden to feel homely too. A dose of manmade design can really add some flair to your outdoor space. You should focus on improving the patio area so that you and the family have a comfortable space in which to relax on long summer evenings. You might even want to pay attention to the long-neglected pool. You could look into getting some pool service so as to give it a new lease of life and keep it clean in the future. The point is that your garden is a part of your home; you wouldn’t neglect any other room in your house.

Create a game room

If you’re really struggling to give your home something a little extra for that “wow” factor then you might want to consider creating a games room. If your attic or garage is being used for nothing more than housing a few loose belongings then convert this space into a brand new room. You could get a pool table, a couch, a TV, and other fun things so as to create a brand new space for the family to relax. There’s nothing more luxurious than having a second lounge area, and you don’t have to pay for a house extension to make it happen.
