If you’ve concluded that it’s about time for your home to undergo a much-needed makeover and a touch of decoration here and there, the chances are your mind has immediately put focus on the kitchen, bathroom or living room. However, when it comes to treating your home with a little refurbishment, there are several ways of doing so, moreover, there are a lot of areas of the home to consider. Some areas of the home are often overlooked by homeowners when it comes to decorating but you could be missing out.
Here are the most commonly overlooked areas that you should decorate in your home.
Window space
Sure, you may pay close attention to your windows when it comes to window coverings like blinds and curtains, but other than that there is no reason to decorate a window, you just ensure it is kept clean and clear. However, you could make use of your window space, specifically window sills and ledges and decorate them to let your creativity flow. Personalise your window space with decorations or potted plants to provide a personal touch. If you don’t have this privilege, you could still use hanging pots and décor to exhibit fresh cut flowers or plants in the sunlight.
Your home’s entrance
The front entrance of your home is how your guests will first notice the inside of your home- where they will receive a first impression. This is also the first and last part of the home you see enter and leave your home yourself. You want this area of the house to be as friendly, well-organised and personable as possible since it is the area that sets the tone and feel of your home. Establish the mood of your home by customising the space with personal pictures in frames and incorporating declarative furniture like hairpin tables and cabinets.
Step up and decorate your stairway
The chances are that you most likely have a stairway in your house, and you’ve most likely neglected all of its decorative opportunities and possibilities if so. Even while it may be difficult to change the function of your stairway once steps have been built, there are other features you can improve to make your staircase more unique and coherent with yours and your family’s taste.
Utility room
Even though you may be the only one who goes in and uses this room, we see no reason why you can not make the space your own and allow yourself to enjoy taking the washing in and out more fun and exciting. Think modern, contemporary colours and shades of grey for a relaxing atmosphere, or consider vibrant tones and personal decor for a fun and awakening ambience in this space. However you decide to decorate this space, make sure to make it your own!
Never overlook any area of your home!
When decorating your home, be sure to pay attention to the areas of your space that you quite often overlook, even if they are not used as much. You never know, making a small improvement to overlooked areas might be the difference and encourage you to spend more time in that area.
