It often only takes minimal adjustments to make a room look fresher and more luxurious. With these easy tricks, your visitors won’t want to leave at all.
Every once in a while little things just need replacing: walls need an upgrade or maybe even the floors. But how? Luckily, simple tricks can help to make your apartment look more valuable. And with the right color you can give your rooms even more personality. We have small but fine interior hacks for you that will give your home that certain something.
1. Tile strips and chic patterns
Similar to a border, you can let tiles run across the wall in a narrow stripe. They immediately convey a completely different impression. For those who prefer a cheaper alternative, tile stickers are wonderful for conjuring up a completely different look in the apartment or house in small DIY projects. For example, an old staircase will shine in new splendor with this stylish detail:
This decoration hack is also good for old-looking tables or chests of drawers – for example with a colorful tile look. So you can spice up old-looking pieces and enjoy them again.
If you prefer it simpler, you can of course fall back on a more muted variant. For example, by adding a new edge to the edge of the tiles in your bathroom or kitchen that contrasts with the rest – or installing a small colored highlight in the middle of your existing tiles.
Exchange old things
Fresh looks can make a big difference. Out with the old towels and in with the high-quality new ones – or how about exchanging your old shower curtains or bed linen for stylish new ones?
By the way, you don’t have to throw away the old things, rather donate them (if the materials are still intact and in good order). When choosing new looks, you can remember the following: Simple designs usually appear particularly high-quality and elegant, while unusual patterns breathe more life and individuality into your room. Of course you can also vary between the two styles. If you prefer to change only a few things instead of a new bed linen set, you can also throw a chic bedspread over it.
Exciting elements for the wall
It doesn’t always have to be an exciting new color or a big picture that brightens up the wall. If you want to treat yourself to a completely different look, you can even change the structure of the surface. Possibilities include, among other things, different wallpaper sections, which can be nicely arranged and another plus for the eye. But with a little DIY work, you can quickly create a chic style made of wood and paint.
Keep in mind, though, that you might want to talk to your rental company about this type of wall decoration — or consider not getting some of your deposit back or put in a little more work if you move out. But to be honest: as a new tenant, we would have taken over the wall straight away.
Decorative curtains where there aren’t any
Long curtains to the right and left of the window look elegant and become another accessory in your home. They decorate the previously bare window front and can be transparent, for example, for a pleasant incidence of light (also with a special color).
Mix natural materials
Different types of wood can often be excellently combined with one another. Most of the time we just don’t really trust ourselves. The mix gives your room more variety and with a chic wood look we often feel a little calmer and sheltered. Just have a look at some examples online before you decide on your favorite look and select appropriate pieces.
