How To Love Your Space For Longer
We all want to love our space, it’s where we live and certainly contributes to how we feel. However, recent studies by Anglian Home Improvements have indicated that we might be redecorating too often! The report shows that millennials and those buying their first home expect to change their interiors every three months. We have compiled some ideas to help you make sustainable home design choices that will help you love your space for longer.
DIY
If you are decorating your home for the first time, or really do insist on giving your space a total makeover, try doing it yourself wherever possible rather than employing other people. The theory is, that if you take the time to update your home yourself, you can appreciate the labour and the end result for longer.
Upcycling
In interior design, upcycling is taking an old piece of furniture and giving it a new life. Perhaps you have a sideboard that you no longer like, rather than just replacing it you might consider sanding it down and re-varnishing the piece to create a glossy look. You could change the height with new legs and get fixtures such as handles to match. Changing the height can completely change the purpose of the piece; your dining room sideboard could be lowered and used as a TV stand.
Upcycling can be an extension of DIY or you can have professionals take care of it for you. The best advice is to be creative. If you have a really functional piece of furniture but want to improve its aesthetic, you can always get in touch with an interior designer. A designer will be able to connect you with someone who will give your furniture a makeover professionally. With Noremax, we ensure your furniture will be upcycled to a professional standard, with a finish you can customise. Just get in touch with your bespoke colour selection, today!
Go Slow
If you remember any piece of advice throughout your interior design projects, it’s this: go slowly. We understand how easy it is to get excited and want our perfect home right now, but it won’t feel perfect for long if you get everything done at once. Take your time to shop around. Some of the best decors take years to come together. Collecting styling items rather than simply purchasing them will give your space more stories and more sentiment. If you are lucky enough to travel, nothing is better than bringing home styling items from around the world for you to look at for years to remember.
A top tip would be to take a picture of the items you like and then walk away. Go home, look at your space and consider how the piece would fit. You could perhaps research the item and then make a decision. This elongates the purchasing process to ensure you really love your new item.
Consider what you value most in your space; functionality and storage? Fun colours and styling? – Knowing the answers to these questions will make sure you purchase things that will suit you for a long time.
Organise
It’s really easy to grow frustrated with your space if it’s cluttered – and not the good kind. We love the ambiance maximalist décor can establish, but every space is better if it’s organised. Spring cleaning your home and throwing out any unnecessary items can enable you to give your home a brand new look. Freeing up space will let you re-configure your furniture to make your space more functional, more comfortable and more stylish. Don’t forget to give the insides of your wardrobes a real clear out, too. If you’re still not sure how you feel about them, spruce them up with Noremax!
There’s nothing wrong with changing things up every now and again, but totally overhauling your interiors every three months indicates that you are not sure what you like.
