If you, like many other people, have been spending more time at home than usual recently, then you might be sick of looking at your walls.
Even if you decorated not that long ago, it can become dull, and sometimes you feel like it needs just a little bit of refreshing. But what can you do to brighten up your home but also make it look unique and a little bit quirky?
Create a Gallery Wall
Gallery walls or photo walls have become quite popular as they are great for transforming bland walls; they create a focal point in your home and bring some character and personality to your living space.
For the art-lovers, they give a place to display their collections, but even if you’re not interested in art or don’t have any drawings or images you want to put up, gallery walls are an excellent place for all your family photos and even postcards from favourite holidays, your grandmother’s dishes, jewellery, or pieces from your favourite game.
The possibilities are endless. You’ll want to keep it stylish, so use custom picture frames, they will add unique styling to your home. Sites like PicFrames have extensive ranges for you to discover and tweak to fit your home.
Choose quirky accessories
Brighten up any room in your house with quirky accessories such as fun posters, coffee mugs, coasters, paper-weights, flower vases and rugs. Even try hanging an embroidered rug on a plain white wall to enhance the interior of your home.
Brighten up shelves with funky teapots, ashtrays, glasses and letter boards which you can change according to the occasion and not just brighten up the look of the room, but brighten the mood too.
Want to make it even more special? Create your own wall art with your favourite quote, and use colourful and unique fonts to decorate it. You can even find many quirky free fonts online. This is a great way to add your own personal touch to your home.
Overhaul your crockery
It doesn’t just have to be pictures on walls; you can try brightening them up with crockery pieces like old ceramic plates, paint them in bright colours and arrange a decorative plate wall to add an artistic feel to your home. This kind of art is excellent for large areas of wall space that you want to fill.
Add vibrant accessories
If you have a rather bare room, it doesn’t need to be redecorated entirely to have a new lease of life; it’s easy to brighten up a room with vibrant colours which you can get from cushions or throws. The great thing about this is that you don’t have to spend much money and you can change them every couple of months if you fancy a change.
Invest in character furniture
Choose furniture which reflects your personality and ensures that they make for a beautiful addition to your home interior. Try low tables with large floor cushions or bean bags and ottomans, which can be great for storage and come in so many different colours and patterns.
Choose bold curtains
Imagine what a pair of bright yellow curtains would do to your bedroom? Have a look at different materials or dye your old curtains in a bold colour to make them eye-catching, fun and bright. You don’t even need to do much else, just adding one splash of a bold print or colour to a room will instantly give it a lift.
