Get new lighting
Updating the lighting around your home with some new quality lights can be one of the easier ways you can revamp your house and give it a completely different feel. Lighting is the most important part of setting the mood, creating your own personal style and can help you bring attention to key features in your rooms. If you want to update your lighting find a clever way to place them as this may lead to house actually appearing much bigger, and who doesn’t want more space! Or even just the illusion of more space.
Create a feature wall
A feature wall in any room of your house will make everything pop and draw in attention to a specific section of your room, usually this has been reserved for front rooms, but creating a feature wall in rooms like the kitchen has now been made easy; you can add an acrylic splashback to a wall to draw the eye to it. As well as giving you new design opportunities companies like Cut My Plastic offer a wide range of colours, styles and offer a service of cutting it down to any shape or size. So adding that feature wall doesn’t have to be expensive and you can get it tailored to what you want!

Change the colour in your living room, bed room and kitchen and you’ll basically have a whole new vibe to your house. Repainting is relatively cheap and you can even do it yourself. Make it into a family day and enjoy painting your home as a family. Choose whatever colours of paint you like, its your space and you can create whatever vibe you want!
