What kind of visual beauty do you most appreciate and where are you most Your Home likely to find it? Sure, a Hawaiian waterfall can be breathtaking, a mountain top view in New England, or even the Roman Coliseum lit up at night.
But what about right inside your home? After all, that’s where you spend the most time, so why not add even small touches here and there to spice up your life?
Here are just a few suggestions among many.
Bring out the bling. A new light fixture, framed mirror, or a piece of artwork can quickly transform a room, especially the kind that draws attention to itself.
Bring home nature.
Add vitality and beauty to your space with a living gallery wall, whereby plant life becomes a work of art. Known as a vertical garden, there are many ways to create one, whether it’s affixing patterned planters to your wall or hanging a flat panel of succulents and moss and bordering it with a picture frame.
Accessorize.
Even if you don’t have the budget for new furnishings, you can still give a tired sofa or chair new life with a plush throw or vibrant pillows. Add new curtain panels or an area rug, mix in some new decorative pieces on the mantle, or hang a handsome print or two on your walls. Then, just sit back and enjoy.
Music in the air. Try hanging wind chimes on your deck or patio. There’s something so pleasant about hearing this sound drifting through an open window on a lazy summer afternoon. It can even relieve some of the stress you might feel as a storm nears.
Repurpose on purpose. You may have certain items in storage that can add charm, convenience, and/or pleasant memories throughout your home. Like your favorite seashells, an antique jewelry case, vintage family portraits that can be reframed, and more.
Shop secondhand. You may know a certain item is secondhand, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be praised to the high heavens for your vision and style by others. Take the Habitat ReStore in Ironside, for example. There you’re likely to find a wide variety of materials left over from new construction, and materials salvaged from old buildings. You can find furniture, appliances, and lots of other home-remodeling materials for a fraction of retail cost.
Plumbing can add zest to your home, as well, especially in the kitchen or bath. From new taps to countertop sinks, replacing your tub with a shower enclosure – there’s much we can do to help you fall in love with your home all over again.
