Top House Makeover Ideas
Tired of seeing the same old rooms at home? Thinking that what you need is a change? Then why not go for it? Making over a room or two in your home does not mean that you have to undertake a huge project. A little addition here, a little remodeling there – these can go a long way. Here are some of the best and simplest house makeover ideas that you will certainly love.
Add a touch of the traditional to a modern room. Modern does it for a lot of people. Sleek minimalist looks appeal to the modern professional, but sometimes, it just gets too stiff. If you are experiencing this feeling, then I suggest getting a traditional item or two. Get yourself an antique ceramic bowl or vase. A brass candle holder will do the trick as well. Turn that first tip around – add a modern touch to a traditional room. A steel table or book shelf can add a splash of life into an otherwise too traditional room.
If you have lampshades in your bedroom, try changing the cover. If it’s paper, it will be easier: paint the shade with a color that appeals to you. Even better, choose a color that you normally can’t find in the department store!
Get a bench or a trunk and place it at the foot of your bed. It will serve as storage space and add a whole new look to the bedroom! If you’re into antiques, a nice treasure chest would do very well. If not, try something with a more modern look.
