A new house is always exciting with its freshly painted walls, carefully chosen decor accents, and brand new furnishing. But as time goes by, the different nooks and crannies of your abode begins to age and starts looking dated. Your tastes, preferences and needs keep changing too, and the old house starts to feel dull and uninspiring. But your house is probably the most precious asset you have, and you wouldn’t want to give up on it easily, right? Which is why, here at homify, we have compiled 6 easy but clever tips you can implement to liven up your residence and help you fall in love again!

1. Go for bold hues

If you are bored with the old and faded walls of your home, give them a bold new makeover with vibrant hues like red, green, bright blue or purple, depending on the look you want to achieve. Try and use contrasting hues for doors, windows and cabinets as shown here.

2. Do away with walls

Open-plan layouts are very much in vogue nowadays, in modern homes. Knocking down the walls separating the kitchen, dining, and living space, can make your abode look more spacious, airy and fashionable. This idea especially helps if you have a compact apartment or small flat. Integrating the different functional spaces also introduces design fluidity into your home, which will look trendy and smart.

3. Furniture on wheels

Change is the only constant in life! And that is why, you never know which furniture piece you might need in a particular room for some specific need. So bring home cabinets, tables or chairs fitted with casters, so that they can be easily moved around as per your requirement. Such furnishing can also add a quirky touch to your home decor with ease.

4. More than just a bathroom

A bathroom which is only equipped with functional accents and regular toiletries can appear drab and uninviting. So why not infuse it with some aesthetic touches? Adorn your bathroom wall with masks, paintings, or set up a pretty vase of fresh flowers on the sink countertop. Keep a ladder in the corner to hang towels and to add a quirky touch to your rejuvenation space. It might interest you to know that this rustic bathroom was designed by the architects at Fabio Carria in Milan.

5. Magic with wallpaper

Don’t want to undertake the hassle of painting your walls? Pick a wallpaper instead, which can perk up your home in seconds with less than half the trouble and expense. With so many patterns and colours available on the market today, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to wallpapers. Just make sure that the style and colour of your furniture go well with the specimen you have chosen.

6. Say hello to colours

Peppy and bright hues like hot pink, sunny yellow, orange, bright blue or lime green can add a cheerful and refreshing touch to any room in seconds. So opt for rugs, cushions, vases, lampshades and decorative knick-knacks in vibrant tones which can put you in a good mood effortlessly.
