Hello, my name is Iggy and I live in Perth, Australia. Last month, I was out in my garden enjoying the sunshine when I noticed that there was something strange on my roof. I climbed up onto the roof of my home and discovered some damage. While I was up on the roof, I took a long look down at my garden. Seeing it from such a strange angle made me realise how overgrown it looked. The next day I called in some contractors to fix the problems. While they worked, they taught me plenty of cool tips and tricks.
Your home surroundings have a way of affecting your mood and the way that you interact with others. If you look around your home and decide that it could benefit from some renovation work and new furniture to help you feel better about life, then you could find yourself facing a hefty bill to replace all of your existing home furnishings with new replacements. If your budget won't stretch to buying new alternatives, then there is something that you can do instead. Rather than buying completely new furnishings for every room, you could think about including some strategically placed decorative homewares around your property. Choosing bright and attractive decorative homewares can brighten any room and completely change the atmosphere within the room. If you are stuck for ideas for decorative homewares, here are three items that you could think of adding to your property.
Add a throw to your sofa
Replacing your sofa could prove to be very expensive, but often, you don't need to buy a new sofa. If your sofa is starting to look a little grubby or threadbare, then you can cover all of these imperfections with a simple throw. A throw can be used for your bed or your sofa and instantly provide a new appearance for any room. You can choose a throw in almost any style, so it shouldn't be hard to find one that is a good match for the existing colour or decor of your room. You can also buy throws in a variety of materials so you can select a woollen throw, a cotton one or a patterned or quilted design depending on what is best suited to your room.
Improve the lighting
Poor lighting can instantly darken your mood or make a room appear unwelcoming. By adding a pendant chandelier or similar decorative homewares to your room, you can lighten the atmosphere and provide a new focal point for the room at the same time. A chandelier will immediately attract the attention of your visitors and provide a beautiful talking point for years to come.
Introduce life to your rooms
By bringing something living into your home, you can breathe new life into the drabbest of rooms. By searching the available decorative homewares, you can maximise the effect of the plant by including a unique plant holder. You might choose a colourful plant pot, or if space is limited, you could think about a knotted macramé plant holder that hangs from the ceiling.
