Adjusting and getting settled into a new place can be a hassle. Although it may be a rental, it is still your home to enjoy and unwind. Follow these tips to get your house feeling like a home in a jiffy.
- Lighting is an easy way to update your home. Replace standard lights and choose the wattage of your bulbs that suits your needs. Use a mixture of table lamps and floor lamps to illuminate and personalize your space. A bonus is that if you are to move again you can take your lighting with you.
- Use curtains to spruce up your space. Choose from a variety of textures and patterns for a pair that suits your style.
- Unpack all your items. It can be easy to let your stuff stay in boxes for a while but unpacking all of your items upon arrival will help you settle into your home faster.
- Add fresh flowers and plants. Cacti and succulents are budget friendly options that are also low-maintenance. Grab a bouquet of your favourite flowers from the local grocery store to instantly brighten up your home. Tip: to keep your flowers fresh, store them in the refrigerator overnight
- Throw on a stylish rug that will add low-commitment pattern and texture to your space while adding some personality. Rugs also help to break up the room into different sections.
Inject some liveliness into all-white/neutral bathrooms by adding decorative items with some personality. Pick up a bold shower curtain and bath mat to keep things fun.
