Simple Sprucing Tips for Your Home 

You don’t need thousands of dollars to refurbish your home and make it feel like new again. Instead, you can DIY a lot of features in your house to help spruce it up for the upcoming season. Whether you plan to sell your home, have guests over, or are just tired of how drab it is been feeling lately, here are a few tips and tricks you can use to refresh your space: 
 
CLEAN + DECLUTTER 
Throw out all the junk taking up space! You’d be surprised by how much more you’ll fall back in love with your home when you take out the collection of accumulated stuff that has piled up over the years and finally get to see your home’s features for what they are. Store what you don’t need/use in either the garage, ceiling storage or in a storage unit. After you’ve decluttered, be sure to finish it off by cleaning your home. Clean windows, walls, and the floors for the best results.  
 
BRING IN NATURAL LIGHT 
Do you have heavy curtains covering your windows? Bring them down! Not only will this make your space feel bigger by removing stuff off the walls, but it’ll also feel alive again with all the natural light that pours in.  
 
ADD FRESH PAINT 
Nothing refreshes a home like a new coat of paint. If you have dark dull colours, opt for lighter tones. Covering up stains on the walls, or drab old paint, can help your house feel brand new all over again.  
 
ADD TILE 
Consider adding a tile backsplash in your kitchen or bathroom. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get beautiful results. Be sure you get tiles that complement the colours in the space, so it doesn’t clash and look unappealing. 
 
ADD COLOUR 
Although neutral colours are always recommended as the base of any home decor, don’t be afraid to compliment your neutrals with a pop of colour. You can add it throughout the home by using flowers, pillows, decor, or even light curtains that are staged on the sides of your windows.  
 
CHANGE OUT FIXTURES + HARDWARE 
You’d be surprised by how much more a kitchen can look different just by replacing the hardware on the cupboards. A bathroom or living room can come alive again by installing a brand-new light fixture. If you moved into a place that still has the same stock hardware or fixtures, replace them and add a little creativity with the new pieces you have installed.  
 
REARRANGE FURNITURE 
Head to Pinterest and get inspired for new living room, bedroom, or dining room arrangements. Most homeowners decorate “incorrectly” when it comes to standard staging rules. View a variety of furniture set-ups on social media and let it motivate you to rearrange your space. You don’t have to buy a bunch of new furniture to make a drastic change.
