5 Easy Makeover Tips for Your Home

1. Clean and Polish

One of the quickest ways to makeover your house is to give it a good clean. Pay special attention to skirting boards and door frames, clean your windows, both inside and out and focus on your grouting and tiles to thoroughly transform your living area.

Hire a carpet cleaner or steam cleaner for just a few hours and your rooms will be lighter and brighter while all that extra exercise will work wonders for your figure too.

2. Declutter

Once the cleaning is finished it is time to remove the clutter from your rooms and bring more light and space back into your home. If you are emotionally attached to all those little accessories that can add clutter to your shelves, why not display just a few select pieces at a time, rotating them whenever you feel the need for a change.  

3. Accessories Make a Room

Whichever room you want to upgrade, be it the conservatory or dining room, adjusting the soft furnishings can change the look and style of the entire area. Giving your conservatory furniture suite a new set of cushions or replacing existing covers, will enable you to update your entire look and introduce colours, patterns and textures that will bring your home bang up to date.

4. Consider Your Lighting

Despite the early days of large and ugly eco-lighting; the style, size and lighting effect of the newest energy saving bulbs has increased immeasurably.
