Five Small Things You Can Do To Make Your House Instantly Look Bette
Our homes need constant care and looking after and are a lot of work. The normal big things to give your house a makeover are renovating the bathroom and kitchen, replacing the carpets, and repainting the rooms. These are big drastic changes that make it look different almost overnight sometimes. However, there are smaller and cheaper changes you can do to make your home look instantly better and well kept.
Cleaning All The Windows And Doors
It is quite an easily forgettable job to do sometimes and especially if there are kids about then expect fingerprints and smudges all over the place. Getting a good window and glass cleaner and going over all of the windows and doors will make it look brighter and neater. You won’t realize the difference it makes until it is done. Then once it is done it is important to keep on top of it, you could even set a reminder every few weeks on your calendar to do it.
Upgrade Electrical Sockets
Standard houses come with ugly white and plastic electrical sockets which look cheap and get dirty very easily. Invest in some metal ones that will upgrade the room and make it look more luxurious. You can even try wiring an outlet yourself to save some money. If it is too much money-wise to do all in one go you could try doing room by room each payday and before you know it the whole house will be done.
Get An Indoor And Outdoor Welcome Mat
Not only will a welcome mat make the house look more appealing it will also stop mud tracking in the house. The Indoor carpet mat is to get wet and dirty drops of water off shoes before people step in your home. They make the entrance to your home look better as well as stopping outdoor germs come in and muddy footprints track through your house.
Emulsion The Wooden Surfaces
Another instant facelift for your home is an emulsion, it doesn’t cost as much as replacing skirting boards and doors but giving everything a quick coat will make it look shiny and new. The emulsion can wear after a while and because it’s gradual we don’t always realize it is happening. Make sure you get enough for all the doors as once you’ve done one and can see the difference you won’t be able to stop!
Add Flowers And Plants In The House
A simple yet great addition to the house is the outside. Get some flowers, whether that's from your own garden or the shops pop them in prime locations in the house. Plants are always a great addition too. As you walk in the door, in the window, and on the dining table are great starting points. They make the house look more homely and give a nice pop of color and a great smell to anyone who walks past them. If you don’t want to keep replacing them you can also go for the artificial flowers, there are some great quality ones these days.
