Does your home lack a certain spark that it maybe once had? Don’t worry because, in this post, you will learn how you can easily and quickly add new life and energy to your home. We, at Pasesi Interiors, have put together 8 ways you can go about achieving this, from bedding to paint to your bathroom and more.

As we get started with this new year, it might be a good idea to not only give your life a revamp but also your home. Luckily, the suggestions we have for you below are easy to follow and implement. So, you should be able to start your year off with what feels like a new home. And that, in turn, should help you spark other changes in your life as well for 2019.

1) Bedding

A feature of your bedroom that you might overlook is the bedding. Don’t underestimate the significance it has on the overall aura of a bedroom and your home. For example, one simple change you can make is to get a new duvet cover that’s a different color and tone than the one you have. You can then complement this with a textured fabric. A great textured fabric to choose would be linen sheets, which have had an increase in popularity recently. You might be surprised to see how much of a change these simple changes bring to your bedroom.

2) Reorganise the pantry

If your home has a pantry, then this is another area that you may want to revamp as well. Pantries can get quite messy and cluttered. You should arrange it so that everything is in order and where it needs to be. Not only is this a more sanitary approach, it also makes it a lot easier and quicker to retrieve items you need from there. We would recommend putting some items and food into glass storage containers. This will help achieve the aforementioned objectives, but it will also add physical appeal to the space as well.

3) Get rid of unnecessary items

It’s quite often the case that people have items in their home that don’t serve much of a purpose to them. This leads to an unnecessarily packed room and home. Simply removing these from the space can do a lot in terms of reinvigorating your home. The best and easiest way to go about solving this problem is to write down each and every item in your home that you are not using and that is serving no purpose in any way. Once you have done that, if you have no better room to relocate them to, it would be advisable to give them to someone you know who might need them or to an organisation that could make great use of them. These would be better options than discarding them.

4) Plants that are easy to manage

Adding some nature and life to your home is never a bad thing. In fact, it is highly recommended. Obviously, you do not need to begin with a whole bunch of plants in your home. You can begin with just a few plants of your liking placed strategically around the home. From there, you can build on that as you see fit. If you do not have that much knowledge or experience with plants, a good tip would be to begin with plants that do not require a lot of attention and maintenance. Once you get accustomed to that, you can move on to other plants that may require more effort to take care of. Lavender is an example of a plant that does not take much effort to take care of. Peace Lilies are another great example of such a plant you can put in your home. Once you have these plants, the next challenge is taking care of them. This resource has great information about how to care for indoor plants.

5) Carpets and Runners

Carpets, more specifically, runners, are another thing you can play around with in your home’s design. If you have runners somewhere around your home like the stairs or a hallway, you can add a spark by replacing it with a more vibrant colour or design. A good example of this would be to get a leopard print design. You might want to avoid doing this for every single carpet or runner in your house because you run the risk of overdoing that look. You can also experiment with other types of colours and designs.

6) Add or upgrade accessories in your bathroom

Do you have accessories in your bathroom? Well, it might be time to consider an upgrade or get new ones. And if you don’t have any, it’s a good idea to get some that add value to the space. One example of an accessory that would add visual appeal and functionality is soap dispensers. Another good one is toothbrush holders so that you don’t just have brushes lying around haphazardly. Shower curtains are also a great way to hugely improve a bathroom. Find the one that adds the best tone and mood to the space. And in terms of utility, we cannot fail to mention towel and towel bars. These will help keep things in order in your bathroom.

7) Include some throw pillows

Throw pillows are a great way to add some flavor to a room such a bedroom or living room. A great way to add a comfy aura to your living room would be to get some faux fur throw pillows and place them on the couch. They would also add a touch of luxury to the room without having to put too much effort or money into it. If you like the look, you can then experiment the same in other rooms around your home.

8) Redo your walls

The walls in your home play a huge role in the tone and energy around you. So, we have to mention that you should seriously consider redoing your walls. That could be as a result of wear and tear on the wall, in which case you’d want to repair any wear or damage to the walls. It could also be simply painting the wall again or with a new tone or colour to liven the room up. You could even experiment with interesting wall textures and materials if you really want a different and new feel to your home. Three interesting examples of wall finishes are: orange peel finish, swirl drywall finish, and Venetian finish.

So, those are eight tips that you can easily implement to revamp your home and add a new spark to it. We hope you found it helpful and enjoyable to read.
