Six easy ways to give your home a quick change-up.

Are you dying for a change of environment in your home but you are not trying to spend a ton of money? This post is for you.

Staircases/ Bannisters:

Staircases/ Bannisters are a huge part of any home so if you're looking for a change, that's the first place to start. Stripes, Bold colours or patterns, whichever you choose, it would easily give your home that different look you're looking to have.

Kitchen Cabinets: 

Colour is the easiest way to give your kitchen cabinets a fresh new look. All you need is a little spare time and some expert tips. A new coat of paint on your kitchen cabinets can give your kitchen a totally different energy. experiment with colours by using a different colour for the handles/ doorknobs and a contrasting colour on the other parts of the door. Another fun thing you can do is line the insides of the cabin with a wallpaper that can stand moist very importantly. 

Blank walls/ Ceilings: 

 Wall paper, Wall decals, Art murals, Decorative mirrors, Family portraits e,t,c are all viable options when considering what to do with a blank wall. The ceiling is usually the most forgotten surface when painting a room but with the right style it can really spruce up a room if you're looking for change. Paint your ceiling a colour lighter than the walls, preferably white which is the most used colour for ceilings 

Using the 60-30-10 rule 

 You'll notice that the rooms you like the most are almost invariably divided into percentages of 60-30-10. Why this works is anybody's guess. Perhaps it is the human tendency to see an overall theme in the 60 percent hue, unifying the coloration. The 30 percent provides visual interest and the 10 percent, not unlike jewellery, provides that little spark of sparkle.
So, when decorating a particular room, divide the colors into percentages:
60% of a dominant colour
30% of a secondary colour
10% of an accent colour

Decorative Mirrors

Mirrors can also be used to make a small space feel larger. For larger rooms, or any room with a more limited amount of natural light, mirrors placed directly across from the windows, will add instant light. Decorative mirrors can also be used in place of art to fill an empty wall space. Large or small, mirrors add light and dimension to your living space.

Paint or wallpaper your bookcases.

This instant pop of colour will brighten and re-energize any room! It’s amazing how something so simple as a coat of colourful paint can instantly energize and transform your space. This built-in bookcase would be simple and ordinary without the bright blue interior. Perhaps the simplest and most inexpensive way to transform a boring space is to apply a coat of paint somewhere unexpected. Bookcases are an ideal place to start because you don’t need to paint a large area. Other fun places to add a pop of color include painting fireplace mantels, the insides of closets, hallways and ceilings
