Top tips for making your house into a home

Use new flooring

If your floor is getting old and you feel that it just isn’t looking great anymore, then now is the time to make a change and purchase a new type of floor. If you are looking for a new lust-worthy floor that will last for decades, that is very durable and that is suitable for all types of homes, then herringbone flooring is a good place to style to use, as this style of flooring suits a wide range of consumer’s flooring needs.

Paint your walls

In order for a house to really feel like a home, you need to be fond of the way your home’s interior looks. Home interior trends seem to change every year and we as consumers tastes change along with the times. You may have loved your red walls 10+ years ago, but do you really love them now? the chances are that you probably don’t.

If you are stuck for ideas on the sorts of colour pallets that will complement your home interior, then Instagram or Pinterest will give you lots of inspiration and the interior styles that are featured on Instagram really do vary, so there will be colour schemes that you will really appreciate.

The use of pastel colours have always been popular, especially if you are looking to give your home a slight feminine style. All pastel colours look very nice together, so you could use all the colours together and create an ice cream/candy floss themed room.

Use soft furnishings

The use of soft furnishings is a cost effective and easy way of bringing comfort to a room. Soft furnishings are especially needed during colder winter months, or if you are just having a lazy Sunday on the sofa and you want a nice soft warm throw to snuggle up in. Furthermore, soft furnishings are not always exclusively blankets, throws and cushions, they are also more practical items, such as curtains and rugs which give character to a room, which will therefore make a room seem more homely.

Use new lights

Lighting is actually a very important feature of creating a home, in the UK unfortunately we do lack natural light because of our mostly cloudy weather. So, it is almost essential to add lighting where necessary. Lighting can either be bright, vibrant and good for those who work from home, or they can either be slightly duller and have more of a warmth within their tone, to create more of warm and cosy ambience. Beautiful home decor doesn’t have to be hard. For something a little more fun, go for quality fairy lights to hang around the living room.”

Add a fireplace to your living room

Fireplaces add such a warmth and cosy feel to a living room. However, most modern houses are not built with a fireplace as it is a relatively old concept of heating a house, but some may argue a home doesn’t feel like a home without having at least one fireplace. However, not to worry! Actual fireplace heaters are available to purchase, that can look very genuine and they still have a flame and like a fireplace they can adequately heat up a room.
