Our homes can feel a little stale over time, so if you’re ready to make some changes you’re not alone. We fall out of love with colour schemes, our accessories feel dated, and trends we used to enjoy just aren’t our thing any more.
If you’re looking for fun ways to spruce up your home, we’ve got some ideas for you. Here are some great ways to inject a little more colour and interest to your home.
1. Create atmosphere with statement lighting
If there’s one thing that can really transform a space it’s the lighting. Warm lighting supplied by lamps and candles can give off a really cosy vibe, while bright whites and colourful LEDs can help a space feel modern and focused.
Not sure where to start with buying the right lighting for different areas of your home? Check out this lighting buying guide to figure out what works best for each space, then look for a fun, statement piece to transform your room.
2. Swap out your accessories to match the season
For a super easy way to make a visual impact on your space, switch out your accessories seasonally. This can be a fun way to add interest, spread some festive joy, and a great excuse if you love investing in accessories.
Our homes can feel tired and we stop noticing the details after a while, so this gives you a way to fall back in love with your rooms a little more too. Store your seasonal accessories away in a cupboard or your loft, and add to your collection when you see something really special that you love.
3. Balance your colour scheme
Every room needs to have balance, or it’ll look and feel really off. Too many colours and a room feels busy, too few and it can feel stark and under-decorated. Balance your colour scheme for a room that feels harmonious.
Experiment to find a rule that works for you, but try 60% of your room in your main colour, 30% in a secondary colour, and 10% in a supporting accent colour. This gives you three main colours to play with, which is plenty for a space like a kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom.
4. Personalize your space with custom wall art
There’s something about having statement artwork on the walls that can really tie a room together. While art can be expensive, you can easily create your own DIY pieces for a fraction of the price.
I love the look of those posters that feature beautiful typography and a positive quote. It’s easy to find affordable fancy fonts online that you can download to make your own version at home, using a free tool like Canva.
5. Add a feature wall with panelling
Panelling is having a real moment, with people rushing to kit out their hallways, living spaces, and bedrooms in full or part-panelled walls. Where we were once taking it down to open up rooms, it’s had a comeback as it creates a warm, cozy feel.
Embrace the trend if you love it, or look for a less permanent version if you’re likely to grow tired – removing panelling can be tiresome! If that’s you, try a panelled bed frame instead for a simple way to feature the trend.
6. Bring the outdoors in
Adding some greenery can really transform a space, so embrace the houseplants for a visually striking room. Whether you opt for real plants or fake greenery instead, there’s plenty of inspiration out there.
There are so many great options out there when it comes to houseplants. If you’re not sure which to go for, use this guide to the best houseplants to inspire you. Look for houseplants that improve air quality too, as these will help your space feel fresh. And if you love fake plants, try IKEA for a huge selection of affordable choices.
7. Paint your ceiling for a unique look
Want to do something really striking with your space? Paint your ceiling. With almost everyone having a plain white (or off white) ceiling, this can be a dramatic way to create a really fun place to spend your time.
A painted ceiling isn’t for everyone, so before you jump into redecorating your living space try this out in a smaller room first – like a home office. That way you can get a feel for whether you enjoy having an unusual ceiling colour or not.
