So please take advantage of all of these easy ways to spruce up your home, and create a living space that feels like home every time you are in it. 

Change Up Your Accessories

Accessories like books, pillows, throw blanket, etc. can bring a ton of life to a room. So if you are feeling like a room or two in your house is feeling stale, change up your accessories. You will be able to bring new pops of color to a room, or maybe even a unique, signature piece. And, the best part about changing up your accessories is that it won’t break the bank. 

If you are looking for some unique pieces at a reasonable price, Etsy is going to be a great option. There are a lot of excellent Etsy shops out there that offer unique, hand-crafted home decorative items. 

Let the Light Shine In

Having a dark and dreary room can make a space feel small and compact. On the flip side, having a room with plenty of light allows for brightness and plenty of good energy. So if you have windows in a room, make sure to highlight them. This may mean giving them a good cleaning and moving any furniture that might be obstructing the view, but it will be worth it. Also, you may need to do a little outside yard work to maximize a window fully. If you have bushes, vines, or a tree that is hindering sunlight from entering the window, consider doing some landscaping. Tame the foliage outside your windows and allow for all the sunshine you can get. 

Hang Mirrors

Mirrors are an excellent way to give depth to a room and make it appear to be larger than it actually is. With a few strategic mirror placements, the rooms in your house will transform into more open looking spaces. And, if you can find a few unique mirrors, you will be able to give a room or two a signature piece. This will allow people to be able to admire and appreciate them when they come into the room. 

Layer Your Lighting

Lighting sets the mood. Just go to any nice restaurant, and you will be able to appreciate the importance of having the right lighting. It is going to be the same concept when it comes to your house. The only difference, though, is that you need to have lighting for a variety of different occasions. Sometimes you are going to want all the lights on, and other times, you are only going to want a specific layer of lighting on. Being able to layer the lighting in your home is going to allow you to have a variety of different feels. It will also allow you to be able to keep things fresh and vibrant. 

Display Collectibles

Everyone has hobbies and things that they enjoy. If what you enjoy happens to look good, make a place for it in your home. Set out your collectibles and allow for other people to appreciate your collections. It doesn’t need to be something extremely valuable, either. If it means something to you, set it out where you can see it and enjoy it. Also, your collection is going to be an excellent conversation starter for when you have guests over. You will be able to spark up a conversation with guests instantly. And, who knows, maybe it will lead to someone getting you a gift down the road that you weren’t expecting.
