With the new year now in full swing, and all the Christmas decorations back to gathering dust in the attic, you might be feeling that your home is looking a little drab. It’s an opportune time to think about freshening up your house for the coming year.

Don’t wait until the spring, a good purge is good for the soul. Ideal Home has a whole calendar of cleaning and clearing inspo for the year, starting with having a good declutter. Throw out all those old things that only serve to gather dust, have a root through your wardrobe for clothes that don’t fit and things that have never been worn and get rid!

The easiest way to give your home a new look is to rearrange the furniture. Whether it’s the lounge, the bedroom, or the dining room, just moving things around a bit can give the room a whole new fresh look without having to spend a penny.

If you have wooden furniture that’s looking a bit tired or worn, giving it a new look with a lick of paint is less hassle than you would imagine. Sand down that bedside table, or dresser, and apply a coat of white chalk paint for a chic retro vintage style or go matte black for some modern minimalism.

Changing your lamp shades can give a room a whole new appeal. Ditch those old shades, and find fresh new and colourful ones to cast brand new light in to the room. Maybe even go further and replace light fittings with new pendants.

Of course an excellent way to revitalise the home to passers-by is by replacing or retouching your old windows and doors. Get in touch with our team today if you have any questions about our products. It might just be time to add some style and glamour to a much neglected feature of your home?
