10 ways to improve the decoration of your house without buying anything new

Info

First of all, ordering your space can make a difference

Javier Fernández, interior designer at Notbrand Designs, told us that clutter changes the appearance of any room.

"Watch your dining room." " Is the desk littered with mail and projects you've planned and haven't carried out? Well, there's no better time than the present to clean and organize it ."

Deep clean the carpets in your home

Washing your carpets is another free way to spruce up your home , according to Courtney Turk, owner and interior designer at Courtney Turk Interiors .

"Get your hands dirty and rub them well." "By giving them a deep clean, you'll freshen up your home and also help extend the life of your carpet."

Rearrange some elements and give them a useful and decorative touch

Once you've sorted , consider adding simple touches. According to Christina Nielsen, interior designer at Christina Nielsen Design , these can change the look of a room and keep the space clean and tidy.

Nielsen suggested things like placing a bowl of fruit or a stack of lemons on top of some cookbooks or putting a small plant or flower arrangement in the entryway.

In addition to being decorative, it can be practical.

"If you have a round bedside table when you walk into your house, make sure everything is easily accessible ." "Create a place to put your keys. I love to use a saucer."

Organize the shelves and try to arrange them by colors or separate them with pretty decorations

Turk advises that if you have display shelving full of books, try to display them in a less traditional way .

"Stack them on top of each other and add some photos or vases you've saved to create depth and character on the shelf."

You can also place books of similar colors.

Do the 'shopping' inside your own home, looking for objects that you may not use and can use as decoration

Sometimes the best 'purchase' is literally made in your own home, according to Fernández.

"Check the storage room and closets . You might find something you put away a while ago." "Now, with a more open mind, you may find it useful in one of your rooms."

For example, a living room can be easily transformed by changing the shades or the wattage of the light bulbs to create mood lighting.

Try to change the distribution of furniture

Rearranging furniture is one of the quickest and easiest ways to change the look of a room , according to Fernandez.

"Change the perspective of your room by positioning the sofa and chairs differently, making sure the natural light is as prominent as possible to give more of a sense of space ," Nielsen advised.

Use leftover paint to give a room a new look

"Almost everyone I know has some leftover paint put away," Fernández said. " There's nothing like a fresh coat of paint in my opinion."

If you don't have enough paint for an entire room, you can paint just one wall . Or you can put masking tape and, with a little precision, make a pattern on the ceiling.

Use branches and wild flowers from outside for a natural decoration

Flowers help brighten up a room and bring nature into your home , according to Fernández.

"Get some branches and flowers outside for a perfect and cost-effective way to instantly decorate your home ," Nielsen advised Business Insider . "In spring, cherry blossoms are my favorite."

Try to give a new touch to the objects you already have

If you want to be crafty, try using some of the leftover fabric, buttons, and lace you may have found.

These ornaments can be used to renew curtains, cushions or blankets, as Fernández advises.

"Taking a simple ribbon and using it as a trim for your curtains will immediately change the look of it," Fernández explained to Business Insider.

Another great idea is to swap out the photos in the frames for freshly printed ones or old ones you've saved.

"If you have enough wall space, you can also create a collage with your favorite photos," Fernández advised.
