Bring Your Home to Life: Refreshing Your House
Throughout COVID-19, your home may have become a workplace, a school, and a refuge from illness. To move on from the stress or mental health effects of the pandemic, consider redesigning your space to enjoy the benefits of positive change and even add value to your home.
Update Your Living Room
As you look around your living room, does it feel outdated or stale? Updating your living room does not have to be a major undertaking. In fact, there are simple changes you can do that won't take much time or money, such as adding throw pillows, changing out the rugs, or rearranging your furniture.
One easy update you can make is revamping your walls. With wallpaper, you can create an elegant, attractive living space. Peel-and-stick options are durable and easy to clean and feature an adhesive backing. If you make a mistake, simply peel it off and reposition it.
You can also add plants to your living space. Bringing the outdoors inside with natural light and plant life may contribute to general health and wellness.
If you’re updating your living room, reupholstering your furniture can bring new life to your living room and restore quality to your pieces. For exceptional reupholstery service, connect with the experienced professionals at Maui Upholstery Services.
Beautify Your Yard
In addition to interior landscaping, consider your property and home's exterior. There are a variety of beautiful flowering shrubs you can introduce to your landscape. Not only do shrubs provide you with bright colors and eye-catching beauty, but some, such as lilacs, can also serve as privacy hedges.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, nonthreatening natural environments may reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and serum cortisol. Contact with nature, even if just looking through a window, results in unconscious stress reduction.
Landscape options are not limited to plant life. Redecorate your front or backyard with stone paths, firepits, or outdoor seating areas. During the COVID-19 pandemic, more people started taking advantage of their outdoor space. Create brick staircases, stonework, and water features to enhance your property.
Redecorate for Your Tastes
The pandemic has changed the way that people view their homes. To refresh yours, you do not have to please the neighbors, your extended family, or your guests. Layered lights or dimmers will allow you to adjust lighting. Add family photos and other decors to the walls.
Consider integrating your culture into the design. Various rugs and tapestries can connect you to your cultural background and serve as conversation pieces. If you live in a family with multiple cultures, try to blend them. Find ways to balance your cultures and fuse your styles in your décor elements.
As we still are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, most people are welcoming change in their lives, so take advantage of this chance to create your dream home. Focus on the living space, your yard, and your personal preferences to refresh and revive your home
