Everyone falls into ruts sometimes and becomes bored or depressed with life. This may be due to circumstances or emotional issues, but it may be the result of monotony. Sometimes you just need a change. Once way to make things feel new and different is to re-decorate your living space. Buy a new area rug set, or paint a room. Below you will find a few suggestions for transforming your home to make it feel new.
1. Rugs/Carpets. Rugs and carpeting can add a whole new feeling to a living room, den, or bedroom. Carpeting can be great in a house that you own and want to invest money into, but it can be expensive, and if you rent, the landlord may not allow such a significant change. In this case, rugs can be a great solution, because they are easily removable.
2. Hang New Art. Paintings, sculptures, and other artwork can really give new personality to your home. If you are an artist yourself, you could decorate with your own work. If you have friends or relatives who are artists, you could ask them to create pieces for you. You can also find art for sale in many stores and galleries, online, or at art fairs.
3. Get some new furniture. A nice couch or chair can really add a lot to a room. If you take the time to look, you can find great prices on these and other furniture items. Whether online or in-store, there are often sales going on. Sometimes you can find great second-hand furniture, too. Thrift stores have low prices, and some people even go looking on the curb on days when bulk trash in taken out. You may want to avoid things like beds or couches for fear of bedbugs, but some items like shelves or tables might be in good or fixable condition.
4. Rearrange a room. This takes little to no money. By simply switching around the order of the furniture in a room, you can completely change the vibe. If you don't like the change, you can just put things back the way they were.
5. Organize and remove clutter. As the old adage says, a cluttered room means a cluttered mind. Whether it is stuffed animals, toys, or books, clutter can be stressful. Find ways to store and organize these things, and the room will feel different and better.
6. Paint rooms or walls. Painting might sound like a job that should only be done professionally, and this is usually true if you want your whole house painted. But one room, or even one wall, could be a manageable project for a novice painter. Pick a color you love, and try a small room, like the bathroom. Or, paint just one wall of your living room in a color that compliments the one that is already there.
There are many ways to change the look and feel of your living space. Buying an area rug set, painiting a wall, or hanging new art will help your home to feel fresh and new. Sometimes, all you need to improve your outlook on life is a change in your surroundings. You can get that change without moving, simply by taking some of these suggestions. Try them out, and see if the change helps.
