    Easy Ideas To Refresh Your Home

    Don't get stuck in a décor rut, it's time to renew!

    2 February 2015

    The first few months of the year are often financially difficult, so revamping your home is not really an option – but that doesn’t mean you can’t uplift things a bit. Here are five easy ideas to freshen up your space:

    1 Restyle Your Shelf
    You won’t believe the difference moving things around can do. Remember to mix things up by using books and ornaments on your shelves and, since it is a new year, de-cluttering is always a great idea. Get rid of those dust-gathering knickknacks that you don’t really like and are wasting shelf space. Remember to take a #shelfie when you’re done and share yours with us!

    2 Add A Pop Of Colour
    Adding one bright element can uplift an entire room. Mr Price Home is a great destination for a fun, bright, new cushion that won’t cost a fortune.

    3 Fresh Flowers Do The Trick
    The easiest way to refresh is to add something fresh to your home. Yes, buying flowers can be an indulgence but use your garden for some fresh greenery and you will be amazed at the effect. You don’t always need a full bloom, fresh leaves will work just as well.

    4 Change Up Your Throws
    Go around your house and collect all the throws, from the bedroom to the lounge and put them in a big pile. Then start again, moving them around. Layer two or three on your bed for new luxury (remember to play with colour tones and textures). In your lounge, add a new colour and texture to what used to hang over your couch – and since it is summer, go for lighter textures rather than warm wool.

    5 Pack Away
    If you have a number of items, like loads of vases, de-clutter them by packing them away for a while. The new space will look light and airy, and give your space a different feel.
