Top Tips for Redecorating Your Home

Interior Design by Urbane Design

To achieve the look you want in your home decor, it’s important to make careful choices about
your decorating and redecorating strategies. Whether you’re refurbishing a rented apartment or
a house, you probably want to create a space that is more relaxing. Below are some tips to
achieve the look you want for your home.

Decide on Color First

When you redecorate your home, Ideal Home notes that you should have a set color scheme in
mind. Using a specific color allows you to focus on decor with similar tones and provides visual
unity throughout your living space. This ensures each piece of furniture and accessory
enhances instead of clashes with other pieces in your home.

Consider Accessories

No matter what you’re looking to accomplish, home accessories are an easy and relatively
inexpensive way to transform your space. The key is choosing thoughtful items that fit your
lifestyle and aesthetic.

Create New Storage Options

When you have limited space, consider storage options that have multiple uses. Homedit
suggests looking into multifunctional furniture such as bedside tables that offer extra drawers to
store clutter away. Or, if you can afford it, purchase pieces like a sofa or dining table with built-in
storage options like ottomans or pullout drawers.

Change Your Flooring

Investing in new flooring is one of those simple yet hugely impactful changes you can make to
your apartment or home. High-quality hardwood floors can give any space an instant
transformation and make it look luxurious. And while such flooring is typically reserved for luxury
homes, there are plenty of reasonably priced options that don’t have to break your budget.

Add Some Artwork

Artwork is a great way to give your space some personality. Find unique pieces of original art or
look for eclectic pieces to hang in your space.

Get Rid of Old Furniture

One of the most immediate ways to change your living space is by replacing old furniture. Even
if you love your couch, it might not be a good fit anymore — maybe it’s been with you through
multiple moves or it’s just no longer in style.

Redecorate Your Home Office

If you have an office at home, take some time to make it more of a space to focus on work. It’s
important to give yourself a dedicated workspace and not feel distracted. The key is to create a
space that works best for your needs.

Look Into Purchasing a New Home

If you can’t redecorate your current space, you may choose to move. While it might be hard to
uproot yourself from your home and neighborhood, there are many benefits to finding a home
that better accommodates your lifestyle. Talk to a realtor to find a property in your budget that is
perfect for your whole family. If purchasing a new home, you will need to research the market in
your area.
