There are lots of different ways you can give your home a new look, not
all of which need involve major upheaval or indeed expense . Now, some jobs
like fitting a new kitchen or bathroom fall into the category of major
tasks . These
require a considerable degree of planning and unless you are very
thrifty, they are also likely to be quite costly . These kind of tasks also involve a degree of upheaval in the
home as building work goes on . However, if you simply want to freshen things up at
home without breaking the bank, do not be put off . You could simply give a
room a fresh lick of paint or hang some new wallpaper . Either of these two steps
can make significant difference to the way your home looks. If,
however, you do not even want to do this much, then the answer to giving
your place a makeover almost certainly lies in the careful selection of
accessories for the home . This does not need to involve you in a lot of expense . Just think how inviting a bowl
or vase of fresh flowers can look . Pick
flowers which are just a little out of the ordinary, such as orchids,
for maximum visual impact . If
you are not a fan of fresh flowers, then what about some lovely scented candles?
Scented
candles and other home fragrance items like room sprays and reed
diffusers have never been more popular . The beauty of
scented candles is that they can be found in just about every different
colour you could imagine, to say nothing of the hundreds of different
fragrances available . Try some of the well known brands of candles like Yankee candles or the beautiful candles made in England by True Grace candles
Two or three scented candles dotted aroumd the home can make a lovely
display, whether they are lit or not . In
fact, some people just buy them as an ornament, never actually lighting
them - although that does seem to us to be a bit of a waste . Another great way of giving any
room in your home an attractive new look is with some new wall hangings
or artwork. This need not cost the earth. Buy a print from your local
arts and crafts shop and pop it in a simple black frame . You will be surprised how attractive this can look against
a neutral backdrop . The list of accessories does not need to end there. Simple ideas like hanging a mirror in a small room can have a dramtic impact. You can jazz up a dull sofa or chairs with trhe addition of some bright zany cushions or maybe a luxurious throw in either lambswool or, if you are feeling really flush, cashmere. Photo frames are another great idea for adding interest to any room. Simply place them casually on shelves, on cofee tables or sideboards or even on top of the matelpiece for an attractive, elegant look.
