As we reach the halfway mark of our second year in a pandemic, we have certainly adapted into a new life indoors. While the worldwide phenomenon of COVID-19 has kept us inside our homes, it has also sparked our creativity to come out. More people find ways to keep creative juices flowing, and some pour it out in home repairs and improvements. While we shelf the major renovations for safer times ahead, we keep the ideas and imagination going with a home revamp all done entirely by us!
Thinking of doing a midyear home makeover? Here are some easy DIY house renovation tips to consider in your plans!
Dust, Discard and Donate
Big plans should equally come with big strategies. The first step to any successful revamp is a clean slate. Allot 1-3 days (or however long it takes you to finish) to sort out old items, clothes, appliances, and regular junk. Don’t forget to discard or donate your pre-loved items to your local charity centers. Once you have a tidy area, the real magic begins.
You Can Never Have Too Much Shelf Space
Instead of having items lying on tables or worse, on the floor, invest in racks and shelves that can easily be assembled with a drill and some screws. It is especially ideal for common areas in your home where items inevitably pile up, like a home office, kitchen, or your garage as well.
Invest In Corner Lamps
Next on your house renovation checklist is updating your lighting fixtures and accessories. Never underestimate the power of lighting to elevate your home’s energy. Give the room the warmth it needs with a corner floor lamp or a cozy table lamp in that mood-setting light source.
Make A Small Room Looks Bigger With Mirrors
Create the illusion of a bigger space with strategically placed mirrors. It’s best to set up a landscape mirror facing a window or a glass door to expand the scenery further, making space feel wider than it is.
Add Life To The Room With A Collection Of Artwork
Jazz up a bare wall with artwork and paintings. Let your creative process flow and have fun hanging up portraits and photos that speak to you and your home.
