It’s always a little sad when your home has lost that ’new house’ feel! You still love it, but you don’t quite love it as much as you did at first. There may be some people who can afford to move house just to get that feeling back but that doesn’t apply to most of us and it’s an awful lot of hassle. These days, with a
wide variety of home furniture available at a relatively low cost, it has never been easier to be your own interior designer; you can
make your house look new again, with a few simple ideas.
There’s no doubt that a sofa can dominate a room, especially if it’s large or bright, and just by changing that one item, you can substantially alter the room itself. If you haven’t had a new sofa for several years, there’s a good chance yours will have started to look dated by now and replacing it can bring your living space into the 21st century, so with a clever choice of complementary modernising accessories, you will really see a big difference with a new sofa.
If you are hoping to give a new lease of life to a tired bedroom, no pun intended, you can change your bed or your bedroom suite and either of those things will give your room a boost. However, if your bed and furniture are a matching set, you must be very careful if you only change one of them, that you don’t end up with a disappointing clash. To avoid that issue, when you’re looking for the new item or items, have a set of measurements and colour samples with you, of the furniture that won’t be getting replaced.
When you change your furniture, think carefully about the space it will occupy, as well as the other pieces of furniture it will have to ‘live with’ and any colour-schemes that can’t or won’t be changed. If you use a little cunning you can have a stunning new interior that will make you fall in love with your house all over again.
