Declutter
The most humblest yet the primary way to beautify your house is to declutter. Anything that you have not used in the last six months needs to be sent to thrash, recycled, upcycled or better given to the underprivileged. It could be anything from apparel to kitchen utensils or even kids’ sports gears. The more the things you clear, the better your house gets. It also leaves you mentally satisfied of getting rid of the unwanted stuff. Start slowly and steadily and see your cupboards, garage and eventually your house getting more space for your needs than your wants!
Organize the furniture
It is a pretty common sight to have the dining chairs in the bedroom and study room and the bedside table getting transformed into a storage cupboard and the center table pulled to a corner during your last cleaning regime. Take your time off and lay all the furniture in their designated places and use them as per their assigned usage. Place a vase with fresh flowers on the bedside table or in the coffee table for the instant makeover. A neatly aligned furniture layout does instant magic!
Highlight the walls
If all the walls are painted in a monotonous color, try to highlight one wall of your room with a different color. Awaken the artist in you and try your hands on with murals and textured walls. There a number of youtube videos that can help you with DIY ideas on highlighting a wall.
