Hi lovelies,

Considering a home overhaul? You’re not alone. The majority of us have spent a whole lot more time in our own properties over the past couple of years. The coronavirus and Covid-19 pandemic saw times when we couldn’t leave our homes, and even with vaccines rolling out and restrictions easing, many of us still prefer our own properties where we can guarantee cleanliness and compliance with CDC recommendations. By decorating, you can tackle any problems you may have noticed in your home over recent months, or can simply make the space feel fresh and new. Here are some steps that can help you with this!

Plan In Advance
When you settle on decorating a room, it can be tempting to jump in the deep end and go straight ahead with it. Many of us get excited and want to see results as quickly as possible. But really, what you should do is plan each room out in advance. This will help to create more flow throughout your property, helping rooms to match together or to flow into one another more seamlessly. On top of this, planning in advance can help you to properly budget for all the changes you want to make, spreading your available money out and ensuring you don’t overspend to begin with, cutting your projects short. Pinterest boards, as well as a budget spreadsheet, can help you to get started in the right direction. Look at bedroom ideas, Laundry Room Decor Ideas, kitchen ideas, bathroom ideas and more.

Take Things One Room at a Time
Generally, it’s best to tackle one room at a time when decorating your property. All too many people partially finish one room, grow bored, move onto the next and so on. But this results in a mismatched property where nothing is truly complete. Instead, it’s much easier to place all your focus on one room, complete it properly and then move on. So, come up with a schedule that will allow you to dedicate sufficient time and care to each room you’re working on.

Prioritise Repairs
Noticed elements of your home that need some repair work carried out? Alternatively, you may discover some as you go along with your decorating process. Either way, if you do spot any repair jobs, it’s important that you tackle these head on. All too many people try to sweep them under the carpet, seeing them as a nuisance, something they’d rather not spend money on or deeming them “not that bad”. The issue is that, left long enough, small repairs can cause major damage or even prove to be hazards. Instead, call out relevant specialists with good reviews and recommendations to resolve the problem sooner rather than later. You’ll thank yourself in the long run.

These are just a few steps to help you get the ball rolling in the right direction with your home decoration. Now is a great time to get started, so why wait?
