How to Use a Home Décor to Bring Freshness to Your Home

Some people believe that the architectural foundations dictate how a space will feel and look. 

While we do acknowledge that it does play a major role, we still believe that how you take the time to fill out the space and decorate it according to your personal taste and preferences creates a much significant impact.

It can breathe some life into your home, for instance, much like the tips that we are going to explore today.

Clean House

We know that you’re excited to get started. We are too! However, before we do begin decorating any space the first thing to do is to clean and tidy it up. Declutter. Make some space to accommodate the decor that you want to incorporate. 

This will also help uncover the previous beauty of your home and reconnect your relationship with the space, especially before any major redecorating project.

Solve Practical Problems Inexpensively

Don’t forget to do any necessary repairs that you have been putting off such as updating your window treatments, patching up holes, dealing with plumbing or ventilation issues, and more. This step applies to your furniture and appliances as well.

Fortunately, most of them can be remedied inexpensively, especially if you have the DIY expertise and tools on hand. There are various DIY resources and tutorials online that you can access for free. 

There are even times when performing these two initial tips can already change your home for the better. Your guests probably won’t be able to place their finger on what changed your space but they will notice the difference. 

Painting Door Trim and Your Ceiling

Here’s another project that can create a striking visual impact: repainting your door, door trims, and ceilings. We recommend this for people who are too scared to change their interior paint to a different color but still want to give it a quick refresh.

After all, trims and ceilings can be quite dated according to when it was first constructed or previously renovated. 

Those who want to create an illusion of space can opt for white or a light achromatic shade. Meanwhile, those who want to create more visual interest can try a brighter color that matches your planned palette. Regardless, repainting certain elements of your interiors can potentially brighten up a space.

Perk Up Your Pillows

You can also introduce color into your space through decorative cushion covers. They are not as permanent as repainting anything and you can also switch them around according to your mood.

We usually gravitate towards cool colors and patterns, especially if we really want to freshen up the space. However, feel free to mix-and-match, again, using your palette as a guide.

Add Some Planters

Nothing adds more life to an interior space than something that’s actually aliveーlike plants. We also like how they can improve indoor air quality. Green is also a color known for its calming effect. 

There are various indoor plants to choose from. Just make sure to perform a quick research on each plant’s unique lighting needs to better plan their indoor locations. For instance, while aloe vera is known for its hardiness and drought tolerance, they do require a lot of sunlight. Meanwhile, the equally beautiful snake plant can survive even in low-light corners of your home. 

Add Some Scents

Another thing we love about plants is the scents they create. We understand, though, that plants do require care and attention that some people might not be able to provide.

Hence, those who still want to freshen up their homes through scent might want to look into the following ideas instead:

All you need is your favorite essential oils, water, and a spray bottle. Just add three to four drops of the oil into the water, put it in a spray bottle, and start spritzing.

  • Candles. You can achieve the same effect by lighting up a scented candle. Just keep it away from flammable objects.
  • Diffuser. Diffusers themselves can serve as a decorative element. They function the same way as your room spray, without the hassle of constant refilling and spraying.
  • Fresh Flowers. Finally, you can always brighten up your space with fresh flowers especially if you can get them from your garden. 

There are certainly other ways to freshen up any interior space through home decor aside from the tips we have shared with you above. These are simply the tips and tricks that we have found most effective in doing so. Have fun decorating!
