11 Ways to Freshen Up Your Home

After being locked inside for months due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it is completely normal if you desire to change the look of your home .

But doing a makeover to your space doesn’t have to be super expensive or too complicated. It can be as simple as getting a new plant that hangs from the ceiling or placing a removable wallpaper on the wall behind your bed.

So whether you’re looking to add a new color or want your living room extra cozy, here are a few budget-friendly things you can do to cozy up your home.

1. Scents

There is nothing better than smelling a new scent whether if it's from a candle or incense stick, so bringing a new scent into your place can give it new life without breaking the bank too much.

2. Add a wash of color to the walls with removable wallpaper

Add a pop of color to your walls by using removable wallpaper. It can highlight the wall of your living room or bedroom.

3. Add a Cart

Having a cart in your home to fill up that empty corner in the living room.

4. Plant

The smallest little bit of green life in your home can make the room a lot nicer.

5. Mirror

Owning a mirror is a wonderful thing to have. Not only will you catch more glimpses of yourself without turning your phone camera on, but you'll get more light bouncing around in the room, which can make your room look bigger.

6. Wall art

A bare wall is nice for people with an ultra-minimal design. To freshen up your room, you can hang big wall art or put up a few small items in an interesting way, or go all out and make a gallery wall. If artwork is out of your budget, you can get creative with washi tape and DIY printouts of pictures from the internet.

7. Change up your lighting 

Get a table lamp or a floor lamp to get light coming from different heights around your room. Candles are great for romantic mood lighting and can make your room smell wonderful.

8. Rearrange furniture 

Move everything around. While some rooms only work with furniture organized in one specific way, many can handle a radically different arrangement.

9. A rug

There are so many reasons which show that rugs are very important for home décor. Having a rug gives structure to the area you put it, softens footfall, adds warmth and texture to the floor. In addition, an area rug helps ground a room and the furniture in it.

10. Accessorize 

Accumulate tchotchkes, but when you have some surface space to play with, whether it's on your mantel, vanity, or bookshelf, it's always fun to add a few decorative accessories.

11. A pillow

A chair can go from being cold to inviting by putting on a comfy pillow. As long as you have places to put them, pillows can go pretty much anywhere, from the floor to a bench to a sofa to a bed.
