The Power of Details – 10 Small Changes That Will Immediately Refresh Your Home

Everyone has a craving for changing something in their home from time to time. However, full home renovations or just re-painting or switching every piece of furniture does not suit every budget.  If you don’t want to commit to such large projects, there countless home improvements that can completely transform your home without having to invest much in them.

1. Replace your cabinets hardware

This is the perfect way to immediately refresh the look of your space when you are tired of your furniture but don’t want to throw a ton of money for new hardware. Whether you opt to change the look of your bathroom cabinets, bedroom dresser, or kitchen cupboards, this is a simple task that any DIYer can do. Consider repainting the fronts or replacing the doorknobs with ones that will match your current taste as well as the style of your home.

2. Opt for more stylish fixtures

Kitchen and bathroom faucets are often something that is overlooked when it comes to making improvements in one’s home. However, they are an important part of your exterior and have both a functional and a decorative role. If you want to give your home a more modern vibe, consider rose gold, copper, or platinum fixtures. On the other hand, if you prefer the rustic vibe, think about installing vintage drawer pulls and an antique faucet. You could also install fancy hangers on the walls and hang some luxurious towels.

3. Throw pillows, blankets, and rugs

Throws can instantly switch up the look of any old sofa or armchair. They are a perfect way to add a personal touch to your living room or your bedding assembles and give a cozier feeling to your space. More importantly, they can be easily replaced when you are tired of their look and want to switch to a different style.

4. Add a statement mirror

Mirrors are an essential part of your home décor, especially if your space is smaller. Generally speaking, mirrors have a knack of making your rooms look more spacious and dynamic. The larger the mirror, the bigger your room will appear to be. Nonetheless, they are functional as well. Imagine the inconvenience if you did not have a mirror in your house.

5. Light fixtures

Light fixtures are what creates the mood and the style of your home. One of the biggest trends right now is using the lighting in a creative way in order to provide the atmosphere you want. Fancy chandeliers and pendant lights are suitable for the living room and the dining room, while built-in lights are perfect for the kitchen and bathroom, where it is important for some areas to be well lit. Moreover, fairy lights have been gaining popularity in the last few years for decorating walls in both the bedroom and the living room.

6. Use natural materials

The use of natural materials is the most environmentally friendly option when it comes to decorating your home, especially if you choose using reclaimed wood. Reclaimed wood is still solid hardwood and it can be anything that has been used more than ones. Antique reclaimed wood, for example, comes from vintage buildings that are at least 100 to 200 years old. It can be used for everything from flooring, to wooden chairs, to interesting wall pieces and wooden picture frames.

7. Interesting Fabrics and Textures

Layering different textures is the key to producing richness and depth in interior design. Interesting fabrics and textures are not only beautiful to look at, but they also contrast and create balance in the rooms. Combine fabrics such as linen, cotton, silk, faux fur, or even wool in the winter. This idea can be applied to both furniture and throws and rugs.

8. Coffee table vignette

Investing in a coffee table is always a good decision since it is extremely practical, as well as good looking. It is important that the coffee table matches the furniture in your living room and does not seem out of place. Although, it should not be cluttered and you have to be able to get some use of it, it is good to be decorated for example with books, decorative tray, or a flower centerpiece.

Overall, these ideas are just a fraction of all the small home improvements you can do and which can completely transform your space. The possibilities are endless and can suit every budget.
