The world of interior design is one of constant change, but with the current cost-of-living crisis that Brits are experiencing, many of us want to change our homes but at minimal costs. Thankfully, we here at Purely Shutters understand that. That’s why we’ve created a guide on some simple ways you can improve your home decor without breaking the bank.
Decluttering and Reorganising
January is always a month of proactive change, dedicated to ‘resetting’ your space and mindset for a new year. This period often brings a flurry of ‘spring cleaning’ tips and encourages thorough decluttering, especially in neglected areas that may have been overlooked throughout the past year.
This year has seen the rise of the ‘1-3-5′ rule, tackling one big task, three medium tasks, and five smaller tasks, to lessen the load of a total overhaul of your home decor, while maintaining productivity without feeling overwhelmed.
Using storage solutions like baskets, shelves, and bins will help keep everything in its place while looking neat and tidy. A tidy home is a tidy mind, right? So, by simply getting rid of clutter, you can instantly transform your home decor, making it feel.
Add a Fresh Coat of Paint
A fresh coat of paint can work wonders for your home interior. Whether you choose a bold accent wall, or a subtle neutral shade, painting is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh your home. Lighter colours are best used if you want to make a room feel larger and more open. Darker colours are best if you want some depth and intimacy. Alternatively, you could paint certain aspects of your home to add further dimension, such as skirting boards and windowsills, even matching with our range of coloured shutters.
Incorporate Greenery
Adding indoor plants to your home can instantly transform your home decor. Not only do houseplants bring a touch of nature indoors, but they also improve indoor air quality and create a very calming and serene environment. Low-maintenance plants like succulents, snake plants and peace lilies are perfect if you want the instant benefits but don’t have the time to tend to them. Placing them in stylish pots or as windowsill features make them perfect, yet simple additions to your home.
Rearrange Your Furniture
This time of year is great for using feng shui to bring balance and harmony to your home, making it a happy and prosperous place. Sometimes, all it takes to refresh your home decor is to simply switch your furniture around. You can experiment with different layouts to find the most functional and appropriate one for you, whether that’s moving furniture away from walls, not having anything in front of your windows to allow for maximum natural light… The choice is all yours!
Ready to transform your home decor?
Transforming your home decor doesn’t have to be a daunting or expensive task. Just by doing simple little tweaks and changes here and there, and adding some greenery, you can instantly transform your space, creating a brand-new and refreshing home to relax in.
Remember, the key is to start small and make gradual changes that suit your style and needs. If you don’t know where to start, check out our shutter ranges and start focusing on your windows first!
