When it comes to styling your home the temptation is to spend a lot of money each season to restyle and give your home a new look and feel. Thankfully you can easily restyle your home without the expense and still feel that you have a fresh new style.
Often all it takes is restyling the items you already have by moving them within your home, swapping out winter and summer items or simply adding and subtracting pieces to create that new and refreshed feeling of space and point of difference.
Here are 5 ways you can easily restyle and refresh your home, keep your creative juices flowing and fall in love again with your home and the treasures you already have.
1. Declutter & Simplify
Over time as you add newfound treasures to your home it’s easy to forget to remove or swap out other pieces. Before you know it your displays become overcrowded and items fight for your attention.
Go back to basics and declutter your displays; start with a minimal look and slowly adding from there. No need to throw out items that aren’t being displayed, just box them up and swap them over in a few months. Decluttering is much needed and cathartic styling job that gives you breathing space you forgot you have and a renewed love for the pieces you already have.
2. Rearrange Your Artwork
Have you ever noticed that after a while you stop seeing things within your own home? This could be wall colour, artwork, cleaning and repair jobs etc.
Rearranging your artwork within your home costs nothing but changes each living space in an instant.
See which pieces you can swap around your home and go for it. You will begin to notice not only your artwork but also the spaces you have moved your artwork into.
3. Swap Your Bedding Range
Moving from winter to summer your bedding usually changes from heavy to lightweight doonas and coverlets which is also the perfect time to restyle. While you don’t need to rush out and buy new you can just update your pillowcases and/or throw cushions.
Another option is to have a doona cover with a different pattern on each side or a pattern on one side and plain colour on the other. Then you can change your bedding look each week if you like or as you feel and coordinate your pillows and cushions.
4. Move Your Indoor Plants
I love my plants, inside and outside, and often move my plants around my home. Sometimes because they need a change of location to keep them happy and healthy and other times to satisfy my desire for a fresh perspective.
When you move your plants around they will find the light and grow in different ways, just be mindful of their light source and watering requirements and the effects of your homes heating and cooling systems to help keep them healthy and happy.
5. Seasonal Styling
If you love themed styling then seasonal celebrations are your golden opportunity to go all out depending on where you live in the world – and it’s entirely up to you on how much you choose to decorate.
These days many people begin seasonal styling weeks earlier to enjoy the fun of the celebration and living with bright and uplifting décor – why not you too!
There are many different seasonal celebrations to enjoy and style for so take your pick and have fun creating a happy home during these times.
