• Does your room seem smaller? Often when we go to a friend’s house who has got a bigger room, our own rooms start looking much smaller than it usually does. Obviously, you can’t go for rebuilding a bigger room, right? The cheat code for making your room look bigger lies in the wall paint. Paint the wall behind your bed with a darker shade than the one in the other walls. This will make your room appear longer. A print over the darker side will make your room look bigger. Huge standing mirrors can also make your room look spacious. Choose the color of the curtains similar to that of the wall around it. It also adds on to the effect of making your room look bigger.
• Old is not gold anymore: Gradually as our furniture items wear out, they start looking shabby. But just because they look old and shabby, we can’t change them. Go for some revamping instead. For example, your sofa or loveseat has become old and sloppy. Try cheering up its look by adding some colorful cushions or a funky rug close by. Contemporary carpet designs can lift the look of the furniture. Get the sofa vacuum cleaned or you can also try changing its cover. An occasional cleaning often does the magic.
• Need of fresh air?: Often our home starts smelling damp and that is a complete mood killer. Open up your windows and let the fresh air in. Try letting in as much sunlight as you can into the rooms. Add some greenery in your home to get healthy air inside. Décor plants like bamboo, cedar cypress, bonsai, croton, peace lilies, money plants, herb plants etc. can do wonders. Apart from the extra supply of oxygen that they give, they also clean the air inside the room.
• Storage issues: If your room is small and you have got storage issues, then instead of buying new tables with loads of drawers try sorting your things into place first. Throw out the things you don’t need anymore. Or you can donate them if they are still in good condition. You will never wear that dress again that you have spilled something on. So, stop gathering such clothes and dispose them. You can dispose old used notebooks that you don’t need anymore. Lessen up your things and then you will realize how much space you actually have.
Instead of going for new things every time, try saving few bucks by sorting your current things. Desi-jugaads can bring unimaginable changes into your home décor without spending a penny.
