After being stuck at home for nearly a year and a half, things are looking up. It may be time for a new interior look. Some tips include hiring professionals, while others require you to do some DIY work yourself. In any case, they’ll leave your home feeling lighter and more positive than ever before.
1. Remove Clutter
A clean home promotes relaxation and fosters mental well-being. It’s been catching on in the culture, but it really is rewarding to spend some time evaluating which items you’re holding onto that aren’t serving any purpose.
2. Focus on Houseplants and Fresh Flowers
Houseplants can act as natural filters for toxins in our indoor environments. Some houseplants like Boston Ferns and Peace Lilies also act as a humidifier in your home. Talk with your local florist about using freshly cut flowers around your home too.
3. Create Your Own Spa Space at Home
You’re not limited to five-star hotel spas or wellness centres when you want to treat yourself. With a little creativity, you can create a luxurious spa experience right in your own home. Transform an unused space into a personal sanctuary by adding thoughtful details, including dim lighting, calming scents, beautiful bath products, and soothing music. Incorporate as many senses as possible in your spa retreat — not only will it make your spa time more enjoyable, but it may even encourage relaxation beyond these moments.
4. Add Value to Your Home
Some additions can be costly, but they may offer tremendous value if you’re thinking of reselling your home in a few years. Pools are a popular in Australia; if you’re willing to spend money on your yard, don’t hesitate — the costs of a pool can be recouped over time by attracting potential buyers. Other things you can consider:
• Patio
• Pool house
• Decking
• BBQ area
• Blinds
• Garage
5. DIY Jobs
Swap out air filters. Air filters may be dirty, so if you haven’t changed yours in a while, now’s a good time to do so. Remember to change them regularly (at least every three months) to keep your home as clean as possible.
6. Professionals to Hire for Renovations
If possible, it’s a good idea to get references from friends or family who have hired a contractor experienced in renovations. Spinryde Home Renovations have the experience and expertise to complete your project and service the greater Sydney area.
7. Making Outdoor Improvements
Adding a garden bed or two is an excellent way to spruce up your outdoor living space. Gardening requires very little manpower: dig it up, put some seeds in, water, and fertilise. If you’re looking for something bigger or more complex you may want to look into landscape design services. An expert can make the best of use of space and create a unique design. You can even have a 3D render made of how your project will look.
