For those who are moving into a new home (especially first time homebuyers) you’re going to realize that there are a lot of small jobs you can do to make the home yours and more functional, so here are some tips:
-
Paint and Try out Different Floor Plans
Everyone has a unique style and your home should be an expression of yourself. Depending on the size and style of your home, you might have a few different options for floor plans that can really change the feel and flow of the space, so try out different layouts! -
Invest in Blinds and Curtains
not only can Blinds and curtains create more privacy but they can change the feel of a room completely by the amount of light they offer and how modern they look. Places like Home Depot offer great affordable shades that can be cut to size on site so you can install them that night and completely avoid any custom order wait period! Curtains will help soften the space and bring the whole design together. -
Install better Lighting
I find lighting can change an entire space and it tends to get overlooked sometimes. Make sure the lighting you have spreads throughout your space and offers different settings based on the time of day.
-
Get some Plants
Greenery can really make a space feel bright and fresh. Not only do (certain) plants clean the air, but there are many different kinds available that can match your style and don’t need a lot of light or water which makes them easy to maintain for people who don’t have a green thumb.
These are just a few ways you can do to really customize your home!
