1. Clean the surfaces
We should give the human eye more credit - it can pick up even the slightest and slyest of dirt molecules lurking on a bench, wall or ceiling. And the visitor’s is the sharpest of them all! Deep cleaning your living spaces is a sure-fire way to get the space feeling lighter and more open - it really is amazing how much tiny smudges can affect the overall ambiance of a home. Begin with a solid vacuum and go over surfaces with an electrostatic dusting wipe. The cleaning mixture will depend on the kind of interior paint used in your home, so be sure to note the substances suitable to your walls.
2. Sort that post
Bills and letters have a tendency to scream mess by gravitating towards each other - and the kitchen bench or dining room table. Finding a way to tame their pesky wiles would be a great investment for any home. Consider crafting a DIY window shutter or a bending a coathanger to create new habitats for scrap paper. Of course, you could opt for electronic bank statements… but why miss out on the fun of magnetising some basic stationery and enhancing the cute factor of your home?
3. Jazz up the walls
Wallpaper, frames, feature strips, floating shelves... there’s really no avoiding how effectively a little wall decoration can breathe fresh life into a room. There’s no need to rush out to the shops if some humble DIY would do just as well - like using old ceramic crockery to create a creative focal point in a kitchen or dining room. This tutorial was inspired by a desire to capture and present the sentimentality and nostalgia a crockery set can convey: author Mandi Smith was dismayed to find her parents’ wedding china unusable after a house fire and decided to string them up on a sunday afternoon to preserve the warm memories of family life. All you need is a few basic garage tools and some newspaper. For the less technologically inclined, you could always create stunning wall art from old toilet rolls!
