There are plenty of ideas to help you create a Pinterest worthy living space and beautify your home. Listed below are some to help you get started. 

Clean and Organize 

Having a stunning home is made up of two parts: a clean home and everything else!

No matter how much you decorate and accent your house, it won’t give you the effect you are after unless you have a clean and tidy home.  Regularly cleaning your house will be the foundation of having a house that is clean and stylish. 

Try to create a schedule for yourself, where you are able to have chores and tasks done throughout the week in an easy way to maintain a clean space. You can also look into hiring professional help in order to remove the tediousness of having to do chores yourself. Plenty of companies are able to work at very inexpensive rates, and can work out a weekly schedule with you that makes it hassle-free; here you can find out how to schedule weekly home cleanups that are a helpful solution to those who already have hectic timetables. 

Once you have a sparkling house, you need to ensure that it remains organized.  Everything must have its place to avoid any clutter, which only makes a house look messy and distracts from all the effort you put in to decorate. By consciously remembering to put away all the items you use on a daily basis as soon as you are done with them, you will find that it isn’t so hard to maintain a clutter-free space.  

Strategic Lightning

Bright and well-lit rooms bring a sense of warmth and airiness to a house. This can mean adding more lamps and ceiling lights or changing the light bulbs to the proper color and hue that complements your house color scheme. 

It is a fact that light affects the mood of any given space; the more natural and brighter the lighting, the more inviting and clean space will seem. The type of fixtures you choose, whether that is a table lamp, floor lamp, or ceiling lights are important in adding character to your space; however, this should not be your only focus as the type of light is similarly important. There are so many types of bulbs and hues to choose from. LED, halogen, and fluorescent bulbs being some of the options that also come in a range of hues from cool to warm. 

It is important to consider your house color scheme, especially the color of your walls. This will be your deciding factor for choosing the type of hue.  If your walls are cool-toned, choosing warm-hued bulbs will provide a warmth that will change the ambiance of the house and vice versa. And all it will cost you is the price of a few lightbulbs. 

Add Plants

This is a small way to introduce a big change to your living space.  Not only are plants beautiful, but they can also help clean the air in your house and control pollutants in the home. Plants are an absolute game-changer; with plenty of options and colors, you can easily use plants as decorative pieces and as color accents.  After choosing your plants, get creative in choosing colorful and eclectic pots that serve as decorative pieces, which will provide additional depth to your room. 

Pops of Color

Adding pops of color to your house is one of the best ways to provide a pick-me-up to a room, while completely changing the feel of it.  This has to be one of the easiest tricks to inexpensively redecorate your home. Color can be incorporated in so many ways. It can be as fun as painting an accent wall yourself, or as easy as changing up your throw pillows and cushions with bright patterns and colors, choosing bold duvet colors or hanging up bright paintings and decorative items.  Just make sure you pick a color you love and incorporate 2-3 different hues of it across your house to provide a contrast of colors to brighten the space. 

Go Thrifting

Yes, go shopping at thrift stores and flea markets. This is an economical way to buy extremely unique pieces that can be repurposed to provide character to your interior while saving you a ton of money.  You can find so many items that, with a little work, can be a conversation piece addition. Vintage mirrors that will stand out with a little bit of polish, old coffee tables that can be accentuated with a little color or antique finds that just go well with your interior theme are all ways to upgrade a space look and let your personality show. 

Rearrange Furniture 

Working with what you already have can be the easiest and least expensive way to spruce the place up.  Consider changing your current furniture layout. This provides a new perception of a room you may have gotten used to. Moving big furniture pieces out from the middle of the room to the perimeter, switching up the dining room to the other side of the house near big windows, changing the placement of wall paintings, or switching the direction your bed faces, are all ways to renovate your home. Rearranging your existing furniture requires a day’s work, and you get a completely different look and feel at the end of it.

Simple changes and regular maintenance will ensure that you will have a stylish home to look forward to living in.  By applying a few of the above suggestions together, you can create the look you love while staying at a budget that works for you and refresh and beautify your home’s interior.
