There are many reasons you could be looking for easy ways to customise your home. Perhaps you are on a budget, or maybe you are living in rented accommodation and aren’t allowed to decorate. It could be that you are living somewhere temporarily and won’t be there long enough for it to warrant a full redecorate. No matter what the reason is, it doesn’t mean that you can’t give your home a touch of your own design flair and make it feel like home. No matter if you are staying somewhere for a few weeks, months or years, you want to ensure that it is the place you can’t wait to return to at the end of a busy day. It needs to be your place of sanctuary where you can relax and feel safest in the world. Remember, when moving your things in, be sure to look at the different pricing of removal companies so you can find the best deal. Here are just a few ways that you can easily customise your home without breaking the bank or changing anything too permanently in your home.
- Upcycle furniture
You can either upcycle furniture that you already have, or find some old furniture in charity shops to do up. This is a great way to save money and also bring a whole new lease of life to furniture items. Use sites such as Pinterest or look up online tutorials and blogs for inspiration on the best ways to upcycle furniture.
- Take up the carpets
Why not check out the flooring underneath your carpets? You will be surprised particularly in more period style homes at how many have beautiful flooring or floorboards underneath. Check underneath to see the quality and that it won’t be too loud for those on the floors below if you live in a flat, but it could be a great and cost-effective way to customise your home.
- Use stick-on wallpaper
Want to do the walls up but don’t want to wallpaper due to living somewhere rented or that you won’t be there for long? Stick on wallpaper is a great solution to this. Simply peel off the back and stick it to the wall that you want it on. This way you can achieve the wallpapered look without having to stick it on with wallpaper paste that can be much harder to remove.
- Use vinyl adhesive on surfaces
If you don’t like things such as your kitchen surfaces or bathroom cupboards, why not use vinyl adhesive? There are many designs such as faux marble which you can use and it can be a quick fix to aesthetically fix the look of your home. It is easy to apply, easy to remove and won’t leave any residue on surfaces when it comes for you to check out.
These are just a few ways that you can instantly customise your home and make it look just the way you want it with minimal hassle.
