Top Ways To Transform Your Home In 2020

As the new year approaches, you’re probably thinking of all the things you’re going to do differently or things you would like to change.

If your home is one of them and you want to start the new year with a fresh feel to your house and you are considering extension, then consulting with a party wall London expert can also help ensure any changes are compliant with local regulations. And if you don’t go for extension, then there are some straightforward ways you can transform your home without having to build an extension, spend a load of money or move house. It’s also a great project to do in the dull, long month of January.

So if you focus on doing little jobs to your home throughout the month, by February you’ll have not only achieved something and feel great, but you’ll also love your home again. 

Start With A Lick Of Paint

Start by giving your walls and doors a new coat of paint. It’s something easy you can do this yourself without having to hire anyone and there with so much choice on colors these days; you can decide how much or how little you want to spend. Choose one color throughout the whole house or go wild and paint each room in something different. Even just going over what you already have will still brighten up the place because a new coat of paint makes a room look instantly fresher. There are also now loads of colour matching apps which you can download so you can see the colors that will work best in your rooms before you start.

Do It Yourself

Fix anything small that you can do yourself if the lock in your bathroom is broken and you haven’t got round to fixing it, do it now. Anything little that you have left and now don’t even notice, sort it out. Don’t leave little things to get worse. There could be other things you can’t do yourself but again will make all the difference to your home. Have a look at Kelly Window and Door because new windows can transform your home and a new front door can make it feel like you’ve bought a whole new house. However, be sure to factor in the cost of replacing a front door if you choose to go down this route to ensure it aligns with your budget.

Get Personal

Look through all the photos you’ve got on your camera on Facebook or in folders on your laptop and finally print some out. If you have a wall spare, create a photo wall with matching frames. Or if you can’t find matching frames, buy different ones and spray paint them all the same color. 

Add Some Life

If you don’t already have indoor plants, then invest in some now. It will make such a difference; you won’t even realize it until you get them. Not only do plants look good, but they are also great for maintaining the air quality in your home, helping to reduce stress and can create a feeling of well-being.

If you are looking for an easy-to-care-for houseplant, the Anthurium Clarinervium is an excellent option. It grows best in warm, humid environments and will do best with bright indirect light. It is essential to keep this plant in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering as that will lead to root rot.

Declutter

With a whole load of new things from Christmas, January is the perfect time to have a good sort out and declutter. It will make room for anything new you have but also make you feel ready to take on the year ahead. Having a good clear out is an excellent way to clear your mind too.
