Redecorating Need Not Cost The Earth


 


If you are tired of the same old look year in and year out – it might be a good idea to start off 2012 by incorporating a couple of fresh ideas to revitalize and update your décor.


If you are in love with colours this is the time to explore and be inspired by the amazing array of romantic pastels and deep, rich colourful paints that are available.
Select a paint surface that will enable you to wash it frequently and one that does not stain. A paint that is perfect for both inside and outside applications.


 


For The Bedroom:
To liven up a dull space, it might be a good idea to incorporate mixed patterns.
A bookshelf that is filled with patterned knick-knacks makes a vivacious backdrop in any room, including a bedroom where the bedding is mixed but not perfectly matched; this will pull the room together.


 


For The Kitchen:
In the kitchen give your kitchen a warm feel with a lick of red paint on the cupboards, and tile the floor with Marley tiles to create a classic look (black and white tiles are wonderful for this look).
Stick pretty gift paper on cupboard doors with spray glue and then cover this with clear varnish – this is both inexpensive and effective.


 


In your Dining Room, TV Room or Lounge:
Use yellow as your main colour for warmth; yellow is trendy and also fun and friendly. Mix your yellow scheme with stripes, florals and other patterns.


T


here are numerous ways to liven up every room in your home; a bit of paint, lots of imagination, and a couple of interesting accessories and fabrics will make a world of difference. Let 2012 be the year of new and exciting things both in and out of the home.
