Decorating your home can be a cumbersome and often expensive task. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out these quick, easy and affordable home solutions to breathe some new life into your new home today!
Indoor plants
Nothing breathes new life into a home like indoor house plants! Whether you’re a plant novice or seasoned botanist, low-maintenance plants like snake plants or succulents will provide that final decorative touch you didn’t know you needed. When you’re ready to expand your collection, explore Monsterra, Pothos or even Fiddle Leaf Fig plants to round out your space. Plus, enjoy the air purifying benefits that will leave your home’s atmosphere both stylish and
refreshing!
Candles
Lighting a favorite candle can serve as an instant mood booster. Not to mention, it fills your space with subtle ambiance and warmth. Choose warm and appetizing scents like vanilla for the kitchen, and refreshing scents like Eucalyptus for the bathroom. You can even update candles seasonally, with fruit-inspired and exotic scents for warm seasons, and pine and holly for winter. Relaxing lavender or Tea-tree is perfect for the bedroom. Remember, candles can serve as decorative tools as well! Dress them up with stylish candleholders, and strategically utilize colored candles to add a lively visual to your space. Your candles should be as visually enjoyable as they are olfactory.
Flowers
Flowers sometimes seem like a superfluous cost reserved for special occasions, but they are a relatively inexpensive way to liven up your space. Many grocers have a flowers section, so it can be as simple as adding them to your shopping list. There may be even more practical reasons to treat yourself to a bouquet than you thought. The impact of flowers on emotional health has been studied and the results are impressive. Flowers are so effective at regulating and improving mood that they may be able to help alleviate mild depression and anxiety. Flowers are a win-win for your space and your peace of mind.
Decluttering and organizing
Improving your home can be as simple as getting rid of unessential items. You could even make a few extra dollars by selling some of your old belongings! Sell old books or trinkets with relative ease online. There may even be resale shops in your area that will give you a few dollars for old clothing. Clear up your home, your mind and your time by simply throwing and giving things away.
Get a New Statement Piece
Whether it’s a funky new accent table, lively piece of wall art or new stems, the most stylish spaces always have a statement piece. Shop your local flea markets, garage sales and discount store to find unique items at a reasonable price point! Even better, tap into your creative side and paint, sculpt or curate your own masterpiece and display it in your home for guests to admire for years to come.
Rearrange Your Furniture
There are all kinds of ways to arrange furniture, art and decorative elements in your home. Take advantage of elements such as open space, natural lighting and even feng shui to optimize your space. Feng shui is an ancient art and science predicated on creating the perfect level of energy flowing through your home. If interested, there are a lot of resources to help you find out how to cultivate it in all of your rooms, from the bedroom to the office.
