Spruce Up Your Living Space in 1, 2, 3

We’ve all been spending a lot more time in our homes recently, which can be a blessing or a curse - depending on your point of view! It’s likely that you’ve realized that there are some changes that you’d like to make to your living space to make it more comfortable, or maybe even more inspiring.

Luckily, there are three easy ways to start making plans and changing up your living space for the better! Choose one or many of our ideas, and you’ll start smiling as you relax into your spruced-up home in no time.

One of the first considerations in your new plan to spruce up your home should be your floors. Does your home have carpeting? If so, maybe invest in a deep cleaning! Carpeting can carry lots of unwanted materials, such as dirt, mold, and bacteria, and giving it a deep clean can not only improve the look of your carpeting but your health as well.

If you have hardwood flooring, you may need to take a different approach. Hardwood flooring needs special care and attention to make sure it can stand the test of time. Hiring professionals to evaluate, maintain, and restore your hardwood flooring is an excellent investment. There are many cities that boast experts in hardwood flooring and should be easy to find in your area. If you are located near Nashville, TN, call the experts at this family-owned Nashville flooring store.

Another basic consideration in your home is whether you have paint or wallpaper, and how either of those connects with your decorating vision. Wallpaper can add a sense of posh style to any room, but if you have older wallpaper that is faded or peeling, it can create an enormous sense of heaviness and stagnation in your living space. Consider replacing your wallpaper with a new design, one that expresses your current style and vision for your space.

If you have painted walls, some of the same concepts apply. Older paint that is faded or chipping can just feel uninspired. However, a new coat of paint (possibly in an exciting new color) can add a burst of creativity to your living room, bedroom, kitchen, or bathroom. Take a moment to think about the energy you want to create in your living space. Bright, rich colors like reds, oranges, and pinks can bring energy and inspiration to the room - perfect for an office, the kitchen, or an art studio. More cool, calming colors like blues, greens, and greys are wonderful choices for a meditation room, a greenhouse, or a bedroom.

So, where will you start? You have an excellent opportunity to create (or recreate) your living space during this time to be even more comforting, inspiring, and satisfying to share with your loved ones. Start small if you wish - even a new coat of paint will bring you a breath of fresh air. But we know whatever you choose, it will spark a new pattern of positive change that will continue in your life for a long time to come.
