If you want to spice up your home, then there are a number of different steps that you can take which can help to change the appearance of a home, without costing you a fortune. “Spicing up your home” normally involves changing little things about a room or an area, so that the visual appearance of that area is more in keeping with your own personal taste. There are no real rules about what you can and can’t do, so long as the results make you happy. However, if you make changes which are very popular, then it is possible that the changes which you make will help to increase the value of your property when you eventually decide to sell your home. Here are some top suggestions that you can try out in your own home.

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring is a great addition to any home, because hardwood has a timeless quality about it, which means that it will not go out of fashion. It can be teamed up with a diverse array of fabrics, furniture styles and custom made drapes to create very different styles of interior decoration. As a durable, resilient material, hardwood can actually last for decades (centuries if it is installed and maintained correctly), and it will often increase in value over time. This means that installing hardwood flooring in your home can be a real investment. Whilst the initial cost of hardwood flooring may seem more expensive than some of the other flooring options which are available, when you are weighing up the costs, you should remember that these types of floors are likely to last a lot longer than some of the cheaper options that are available. There are a lot of different types of hardwood to choose from, which are slightly different colours, or have different wood grain effects. It is also possible to choose wood which has been stained a different shade.

Kitchen or Bathroom Renovation

Having a full kitchen or bathroom renovation can really change the look and feel of your home. These two rooms are very personal spaces to people, and making sure that these spaces reflect your wants and needs can really make your home seem more special. For example, studies have found that people are more likely to enjoy spending time in the kitchen when they have taken a hand in designing the space for themselves, and people are more likely to find their bathrooms to be relaxing spaces when they have created the bathroom that they would enjoy. Once you decide on your budget for renovation, it is possible to work with an interior decorator to come up with a space which meets your needs. Custom made drapes and curtain in these rooms can help to complete the new look.

A lick of paint

Giving your walls a fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest, cheapest and quickest ways to spice up your home. Going over your walls with the same colour that you already have is a good way to rejuvenate a room and to help to refresh the colour, whereas stripping the existing paint and repainting your walls in a whole new colour is a great way to give a room a whole new lease of life. Different colours can be used to create different styles of decoration. For example, deep, rich blues and purples can be used to create a wonderful regal or oriental theme.  There are also lots of other decorating tips which can be used to alter the way that the room looks, for example, using a different colour or shade on one wall can actually make the room look bigger than it actually is. Only painting one wall in colour is a great way to create a signature wall, and make your decorating look different and modern.

Storage Solutions

If you find that your rooms fill up quickly with clutter, then you may not have enough storage space in your home. Putting in more storage can help you to keep your place tidying, and it will make your home more appealing to potential buyers. There are lots of inventive storage solutions which can help you to keep all of your things neat and tidy, without looking like an eyesore themselves. This includes using curtains or custom made drapes in a room to hide storage solutions from sight, without looking inappropriate. Boxes and shelving units can be easily accessed behind these curtains, but will stay out of sight and out of mind when you do not want to think about them. Although more storage may not seem like the ‘spiciest’ solution, you will be amazed by just how different your home seems to be when you have less clutter lying around the place.

Custom window treatment

Custom window treatments help to make sure that your windows look as though they are a part of the room, rather than them looking like a way out of the room. This means that they will enhance the appearance of the room, rather than detracting from it. During these treatments an interior design specialist, such as those who work for www.ulinkly.com or www.theshadestore.com will work with you to help to design and make blinds, curtains or other window dressings which will help to complement your existing decor style or which will help to create a new style for you. By choosing from a wide range of different fabrics, you are sure to be able to create completely unique custom made drapes, window curtains or other styles of windows dressing. As well as looking fabulous, custom window treatments can help you to ensure that your room maintains an ambient temperature. For example, window curtains can help to keep rooms cool on a hot day by keeping the bright sun out of the room, whilst also letting some of the sun’s brightness in. Alternatively, when thick, lush window curtains are drawn on a cold, dark night, they can help to keep a lot of the warmth in a room, and will help you to ensure that that room is a wonderfully cosy place to spend the evening. Window treatment ideas include using fabric of more than one colour to create a frame around the top of the curtains. This frame will help to keep the warmth in, and it will make your curtains look grander. There are also many different window treatment ideas from around the world that you can try out, for example, Mediterranean style drapes or American country style drapes. The experts will also be able to suggest a range of other window treatment ideas to you, which you may never have even thought about without the advice of a professional. With www.ulinkly.com, you can even request to see a free 3D approximation of your designs before they are created and delivered to you, so you will be able to see what they look like before you make a final commitment. This will help you to find something that really works for your room.

Coordinating your soft furnishings

Although some people choose ‘mismatched’ items as part of a hotch-potch theme, this theme is not everyone’s favourite choice. If a mismatched jumble is not part of your decor theme, then you can actually make your whole room look better by coordinating your soft furnishings to fit in with your theme of choice. Just one out of place item can detract from the whole decoration theme of the room and can make your room look less impressive. When you are coordinating your soft furnishings, you should think about all of the traditional fabric items which belong in that room, for example, the drapes, wall curtains, window curtains, throws, cushions, pillows, duvet covers, rugs etc. Coordinating does not necessarily mean making everything the exact same colour, because your theme could utilise lots of different colours or shades. Before getting custom window treatments, you should consider your colour scheme.

If you do decide that you want to spice up your home by changing the decorations, there are a lot of different ideas that you could try out. Although you may choose to do your interior decorating by yourself, there are also a range of experts who you can turn to who can help you to get the best style for your home. Whilst these experts can cost you more in the short term, you are also more likely to increase the value of your home if you call in the experts to help you out. Using expert assistance rather than doing your own decorating will also help you to ensure that the changes that you make last for longer as well. If you need any help with your wall curtains, custom made drapes or any other window treatment ideas, then you should get in contact with the experts at www.ulinkly.com, so that you can find the right solution for your needs.
