Flowers And Plants

There are a lot of choices when it comes to flowers and plants. Taking personal preference into account, you can go for flowers with a real character and depth, like a bouquet of red and pink carnation flowers on your kitchen table. You could also mix it up, by having a small vase of blue anemone flowers on your nightstand, pairing that with a small vibrant green foliage plant. The green and blue colours would pair particularly well in the spring. 

If you’re looking to create more warmth in your home, perhaps try adding vases of pampas grass throughout, for a more chic look. Pampas grass can also be customised to an array of colours, such as green or pink. For a bolder choice in the colour of your vase, choose gold, or rose gold, instead of clear or white. 

It may be tricky to merge the outside elements with the inside space. Take the time to choose plants that have the ‘wow’ factor. Tall Monstera plants that originate in Southern Mexico, branch out, giving your home that extra wow. Having larger-than-life plants in your bedroom, or in a kitchen corner can capture the beauty and vibrancy that your home radiates. 

Add Colour To Your Walls

You may be all too familiar with those white, beige walls that somehow end up in nearly every house. It is more daring to add a little bit of colour to the walls. Of course, you don’t have to paint every wall in Fuschia pink (unless you really want to). 

One way to begin this fun process is to decide which room, and which walls will get that splash of paint or roll of wallpaper. Wallpaper adds a flair and style and you will find some beautiful designs that will suit your personality. Some wonderful designs of wallpaper, such as animal print, and leafy print go well in the bedroom or even the living room.

Painting your walls can be therapeutic, and there is so much excitement in having a new bold colour. There are two routes to choosing paint colours. Firstly, you may opt to choose more muted colours, such as lilac, coral, or duck egg to paint on your walls and add statement pieces, such as a bright chair, or rug. On the other hand, you may choose to paint your walls more distinct, rich colours, such as orange, purple, or green, and then add simple accessories to pair well with, such as a gold candle, or a wall mirror. The options really are endless.

Art. Art. Art.

It is definitely a bold choice to add art and paintings to your home it will add life, culture and history to your space. Art is personal, meaningful, and has depth in how it is presented in your home. Having big paintings, in open-planned spaces, such as the kitchen, or the living room invites a sense of warmth and inclusion, especially if the artwork draws its colours from your home decor. 

Statement art pieces that encompass shades of green, or yellow, integrate particularly well in the kitchen, where lots of cooking with vibrant colours and spices take place. Simple art pieces are also not to be overlooked. These pieces go well on walls that are brighter, such as red, or pink. Try not to feel fearful of art. Embrace it. 

Reduce, Reuse and Re-cycle

If you take a look around your home make a note of all the things that can be made better with a few home improvements. Light fittings that need updating or kitchen cupboards that could do with a fresh lick of paint. Small home improvements like this will not only make you feel better but will make your home look new.

Re-cycle or up-cycle as much as possible. This is a great way to save money as buying new would cost a lot more and it is also good for the environment. Adding new handles to a chest of drawers will give them an instant update or if you are feeling creative you could even try to reupholster your chairs. Just a few simple home improvements can make a huge difference to your home and you don’t have to spend a fortune doing it.
