When you first move into a new space, it is incredibly exciting. Everything is brand new and there is a lot to see, do, and experience in your new home. This honeymoon phase with your home can often last months, as you continue to be impressed with the home you bought and how it looks.
Unfortunately, there will come a time where your home doesn’t feel that fresh anymore. It may feel a little boring, a little uninspiring, and you simply might not be as in love with it as you once were. But thankfully, you aren’t doomed to live in a home that you are simply “okay” with. Without any further ado, let’s go over a couple of different ways to help your home feel fresh again.
Bring in Some Flowers
One of the best ways to help freshen up your home is to bring in some flowers. They are easier than ever to get thanks to online flower delivery, Floraly single flower delivery and can fit well in any space. Whether put on a mantle in your living room, or your desk in your office, flowers can look great.
All in all, there are many reasons to have fresh flowers in your home. They look wonderful, can help you bring a bit of nature inside, and can fill your home with a wonderful scent. Seeing the flowers will also put a smile on your face and put you in a wonderful mood.
As far as which flowers you should bring in, that is completely up to you. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, so there is sure to be a flower that you love and will appreciate having around in your home.
Add Some New Paint
A quick way to freshen up a space and help it look like new is to add some new paint to the walls. Painting walls is also one of the best ways to redecorate your home on a budget, and can even help you increase the value of your home. It is cheap to buy, and painting is incredibly easy, and just takes a bit of time.
You can paint it any color you like, but generally sticking to neutral tones is a safe bet. They will likely never go out of style, and if you want some color or excitement in a space, you can achieve it with things like art, furniture, or other pieces of decor. Sometimes, a little paint job is all you need to do in order to completely revitalize a space.
Get Rid of the Clutter
Over time, many people will begin to leave things around their space a little more, and this can create a lot of clutter. This clutter continues to build and build, and eventually engulfs your entire home.
This clutter could be anything from clothing, to documents, to boxes, to electronics, or anything else you may have in your home. Clutter makes any space look incredibly busy, and can make a place look dirty, even if it isn’t. By getting rid of this clutter on tables, shelves, and countertops, you can instantly refresh your space and make it look better.
We all clean our homes well from time to time, but they hardly stay that way for more than a couple of days, so do your best to stay as consistent as possible.
Change up the Layout
Another easy way to help gain a new passion for your space and give it the refresh it needs is to change up the layout. Something as simple as moving a couch to the other side of the room, or repositioning the TV, can have a major impact on the flow and look of a space.
Sure, it might take a little effort and you may need some help in order to move things, but it can certainly be done, and have some amazing results. This is especially good as it doesn’t actually cost you any money, and shouldn’t take too much time to complete, and can easily be undone if need be.
Keep it Clean
A big part of a home feeling fresh is how clean it is. A home that is full of dirt, dust, and grime, can simply not feel or look very fresh. As a result, ensure that you make time to clean your home when you notice it getting a little gross.
You should clean the floors, the appliances, the bathroom, the walls, the furniture, baseboards, walls, and just about everything else from time to time. Don’t forget about the less obvious places like the drain, in the cutlery drawer, the inside of the fridge, and places like that.
Also, if you want to make your cleaning around the house a little simpler and easier to handle, make sure you are consistent. If you can do even a couple minutes of cleaning each and every day, it can make those larger and dedicated cleaning days much easier and faster. If you simply leave things to become dirtier and dirtier, it simply leaves a lot more work for you in the future.
Open the Windows
Perhaps one of the simplest ways to introduce some freshness into your home is by opening the windows. The air inside your home can get a little stale over time, and introducing some fresh air is almost always a good idea.
It can let in some fresh air, and this is often accompanied by a nice breeze that can reinvigorate your space. If it is storming outside, or it is a particularly smokey day for one reason or another, it is best to keep windows closed, however.
Of course, be sure to close them before you go to bed, as open windows can be a security risk, and there is always the chance that the weather changes drastically overnight, too. Also, if you are running the air conditioning or heat, be careful about opening the windows as it could ruin the efficiency of your heating and cooling efforts.
In conclusion, these are some of the best methods you can use to make your home feel as fresh as possible.
