Re-Arrange Your Furniture

If you want your home to look like it’s had it’s décor updated but you don’t have time to change the décor, there’s a simple solution: re-arranging your furniture. Moving around furniture in a room is a big enough change that your guests will think that you’ve done a full redecoration, without you actually having to do much other than lift furniture.

When you’re moving furniture, make sure to take your safety seriously and don’t try to lift or move anything too heavy for you, unless you have someone to help you. And when re-arranging your furniture, give it a test run for a few hours to make sure your new layout is acceptable, there’s nothing worse than moving a sofa to find that the Sun will be beaming into your eyes all day!

Colour Pop Your Home

Colour popping is the practice of using a highlight colour on fixtures in your home that have a neutral look to them, like kitchen cabinet doors, doorframes or the end of shelving units. With a bright accent colour, this creates a delightful contrast and can bring a new lease of life to a room.

For this, you’ll need to fit a colour that will compliment the room’s colour scheme and get a few paint testers (you won’t need a full tin of paint so it’s easier and cheaper to use test tins or rollers) in the colour you want and simply paint the edge or face of whatever fixtures you’ll be colour popping.
