If you haven’t updated various rooms across the home in many years, you might be itching to change its colour scheme, storage or furniture.

 

If you dread the thought of walking back into your property or close the door on rooms that bring you little joy, it’s time to give it a makeover. Here are five ideas that could help you fall back in love with your home.

 

1. Update Your Front Door

 

Become the envy of your street by updating your front door. Pay a little extra for a stylish design that will make your house pop and improve your kerb appeal. Also, pick a door with an attractive window, as it will allow light to flow through your hallway, which can create a bright, airy atmosphere.

 

2. Rearrange Your Furniture

 

Breathe new life into your interior by rearranging your furniture. Using your space in a different way can improve a room’s style and atmosphere, which could help you feel happier in the home. For example, you could place your sofa on the opposite side of your living room, switch up your artwork or restyle the shelving.

 

3. Install a Stylish Kitchen

 

If your kitchen cabinets appear worn, your appliances aren’t working as well as they used to or the layout doesn’t match your needs, strip out your kitchen and start over. You can then install a traditional or contemporary design that matches your taste and property’s architecture. Check out these fitted kitchen ideas for inspiration.

 

4. Declutter Every Room

 

Endless clutter could have caused you to fall out of love with your home. If you’re struggling for space to house your belongings, you must declutter every room. If you haven’t used a product in a year, donate it to charity or throw it away. Once you have freed your home of clutter, invest in storage solutions to ensure every item has its place.

 

For instance, add an ottoman storage bench into your bedroom to house bedding, dressing gowns and towels. Also, place storage baskets in your living room to tidy away loose objects, and install shelving in your bedroom, bathroom or dining room to highlight decorative accents and keepsakes.

 

5. Get Your Lighting Right

 

The lighting you choose can improve or detract from your interior design. If your home appears dull and dark, it’s bound to affect your mood and happiness, which is why you must perfect the lighting in every room.

 

For example, spotlights can look fantastic in a kitchen, as they can highlight your beautiful cabinetry. Also, you could position unique pendant lights over a kitchen island or dining table to draw your guests’ eyes when they walk into the room.

 

Don’t spend your days in a property that brings you little joy. Make big changes and small tweaks to fall back in love with your home.
