Renovating your home doesn't have to be a huge job. With a few simple steps you can breathe new life into your living environment and create a fresh, inviting atmosphere. Discover five easy and budget-friendly tips to freshen up your home without costing a fortune.
1 - Renew your lighting
Lighting can drastically change the atmosphere in any room. Replace old lampshades with new, trendy models and consider energy-efficient LED bulbs for a bright, warm glow. Add some strategically placed floor lamps or wall lamps to brighten up dark corners. You will see that good mood lighting does a lot for your living feeling!
When considering lighting, also consider your outdoor space. Happlify Crew member Enjoythesun has a beautiful collection for this solar lighting and enchanting garden decoration!
2 - Color on the wall
A lick of paint can do wonders for the appearance of your home. Choose light, neutral colors to create a spacious and airy feeling. Also consider accent walls in bold colors for a playful touch. Don't forget to update small details like door frames and baseboards for a complete transformation.
Useful!
Do you often do odd jobs in and around your home? Then make sure you have a handy outfit, so you don't waste good clothing. Your job clothes can of course consist of some old, sturdy clothing, or for heavier work, real work trousers and sturdy shoes with protective toes. Better safe than sorry!
3 - Add greenery to your interior
Bring nature indoors with some well-placed houseplants. Plants purify the air and add a touch of freshness to any room. Choose easy-to-maintain plants such as sansevieria or ferns for a green accent that requires little effort.
