People who inspire! From professional interior designers to those studying design at universities and colleges throughout the world, those who share their thoughts and ideas on blog posts or design journals and magazines, it seems that there is a never ending supply of inspirational ideas which you can either sit and dream about or decide to use and incorporate into your home!
Spend leisure time simply looking for ideas and creating picture boards for future use or use these design places to help you choose a style and theme for each room in your home.
One of the greatest advantages of looking at other people's ideas is the ability to update your own furniture or soft furnishings without having to spend a fortune. Make time to sew your own cushions or get out a paintbrush and rejuvenate your walls with a lick of paint! Brighten up old and tired looking furniture by recovering chairs or painting chests of drawers, the possibilities are endless!
Whatever the size of your project, handy craft or DIY abilities making or transforming something for your home can give a great sense of achievement and pleasure.
With the recession affecting most people in some way finding ideas to create a new look for a room can be fun! Spend hours sauntering through junk shops or boot fairs to find those special pieces to inject colour or a 'new' freshness to your home. For those who prefer not to venture outside magazines or online browsing can be as pleasurable!
Start small is the best advice! Take an item such as a old mirror and simply paint the frame or have a go at making a cushion from old clothes, once you have mastered a few simple techniques you can move onto to something more adventurous.
Sometimes all a room needs is to be de-cluttered and the furniture re-arranged to make a room feel like new! This alone can give a great sense of achievement is a great way to keep active and burn a few calories without you even realising it!
One of the easiest ways to create a new feel and look to a room is to update the window dressing! For some reason windows are often sadly overlooked and yet sparkling clean windows and new or freshly laundered curtains can make a vast difference to a room.
By simply changing from a traditional style curtain track to inexpensive curtain poles and replacing outdated curtains with modern designs in plain or patterned fabrics a room can be transformed simply and effectively. Choose from trendy sheer fabrics such as voile or faux silk or medium weight chintz fabrics, stripes or Renie Macintosh inspired designs to suit your new look. Many of the ready made curtains available also come with affordable coordinating or matching accessories such as cushions and table lamps to complete the look. |
