4 Simple Ways To Give Your Home A Makeover This New Year

With the New Year around the corner, it is the perfect time to make new promises, resolutions and add a dash of newness to everything around you. Each one of us has some plans for the coming year with an aim to junk the ugly and the bad. So why not start with your home. A home is the place where we spend the best time of our day. A refreshed look for the home this New Year would certainly lift your mood and happiness level, provided the facelift does not burn a hole in your pocket.

PropGuide enlists four simple suggestions to make your makeover journey affordable.

Paint it

Yes, paint. Paint is the simplest way to make a change and it doesn't have to be complicated. If you're looking to remodel your drawing room or kitchen, add some bright colours to your old furniture by painting them. You can also play with bold textures. Let the artist inside you get wild with imagination.

Don't 'waste' it

During the New Year, we all end up having tonnes of empty glass bottles. Be it your old beer bottles or your unused jars from the kitchen, they all have their charm. Don't throw them away, turn them into lamp shades to brighten up the cozy corners of your home.

Lighting it up

Collect those small lighting bulbs and make a cluster. Hang them from the ceiling or make paper cones and put a cap on them for an animated look.

Tile style

You can achieve a contemporary look by re-tiling your floor. Swap out ceramic tile for newer engineered flooring that mimics hardwood in your kitchen. 3D tiles too can be a good experiment with your decor.
