Revitalise Your Living Space: Tips for Refreshing your Home This Year

The first few months of the year is a great time to start fresh and make changes to your living space. If you’re looking to refresh your home in 2023, here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Introduce New Accessories: Accessories are the smaller items that can change the interiors in an effective way for positive home refresh to the year ahead. New interior decor can be items such as vases, books, art or natural materials like fresh flowers. Nature always adds neutral and earthy tones into a home and is a good opportunity to add life into spaces. Interior decor also can be a good way to add colour or patterns into an interior scheme if you are not confident enough to add larger amounts of colour to the main walls or furniture in your home. 
2. Paint or Wallpaper: A new coat of paint or new wallpaper can instantly transform a room. When choosing a colour or pattern, consider your interior decor and get creative to complement the interiors but also reflect your personal style. If you find your rooms are slightly plain, adding a colour or wallpaper pattern is the perfect time to create a warm and welcoming space in your home. 
3. Update or Re-upholster Your Furniture: When it comes down to changing your furniture you don’t have to replace it with new pieces to refresh your home. Consider updating a few key pieces, such as your sofa, dining table, or bed frame. Simply switching the fabric or textures of upholstered furniture can make a big impact. To add that designers, touch when updating furniture, produce a piece that will create a big part in the area, for example re-upholster an armchair in a bright colour or patterns. When updating furniture with no upholstery, invest in some time to sand and stain wood finishes, or paint hard finishes which can make an impact in such simple ways. 
4. Rearrange Your Layout: Refreshing the layout of your home is an experiment with different furniture arrangements to create a more functional and visually appealing space. Gather some inspiration for room layouts for the size and shape of the room you are re-designing. Maximise your space by utilising cupboards to save space so you can focus on the room and space itself. Once you have your room layout you can start to create a focal point by styling the shelves and adding photography to make a homely and welcoming space.
5. Upgrade Your Lighting: Good lighting can make a huge difference in your home’s ambiance. Consider upgrading your lighting fixtures or adding new lamps to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Investing in lighting is a key element to interior design as the evenings is when you have no natural light and therefore the right amount of artificial light in important to create an inviting environment.
6. Add Personal Touches: Always add personal touches to your home. Hang artwork, display family photos, or incorporate sentimental objects to make your space feel more like you. These elements can add new life and character and style, and evenly spread your items throughout the home not just one room. Adding these personal items will make your house a home. 

Refreshing your home doesn’t have to be an expensive or big task. With a little bit of effort and creativity, you can transform your living space into your idea and image of a dream home.
