The new year is coming, and we can not wait to celebrate 2020 with our friends and family. Every new year fills us with new hope and brings us new opportunities. We feel decisive, more resolute and sure about the choices we make and want to make. It is a time which re-shapes our outlook and approach towards others and ourselves too. We try to start fresh. Why not take it to a whole new level by getting a new home also.
Now …do not get startled. It's not a suggestion that you should sell or change your house. Yet you can still make it new by decorating it and bring a whole new feeling to it by doing some minor changes like the colour of walls, a few rugs, some designer cousins, new home appliances and trendy furniture which not only offers class but comfort too.
Although we do it often, yet whenever we get something new, we feel super excited. And if we get it on some special occasion, it doubles the joy. And what can be a better occasion than the new year?
But redecorating is a lengthy and costly process. There are many steps to follow. Painting walls, changing rugs, designer cushions and last but the most difficult changing furniture. We can change the scenery partially or entirely, however in doing it we have to put in a lot of effort and money. But there is a modern and comfortable solution to this problem. Instead of buying why not renting furniture. Painting the walls and changing the rugs and soft furnishing is not a big deal, but changing furniture could possibly compel you to recalculate your budget for a long time. By renting you can save a lot of money without shifting any of your plans.
But the real question is, what does renovation include essentially?
The walls, the floor, the furniture or other things we call a part of our decorations. But for a dazzling change, we can include front door and ceiling too.
Sun Has To Come In
However, you plan your decorations and seating arrangements you should not block the sun from entering your home as many corners as possible. It makes our house happy and a positive pace. Not to forget that it helps to keep out a lot of diseases and bad smells. Choose light colours for walls which have a distinct quality of not fading in sunlight. The rugs, curtains and furniture covers should be synched accordingly.
Creative Arts Of Your Choice For Walls
Choose artwork, Diy wall hangings, mirror, antique clocks, pictures in frames or anything else fro your walls. But make it a point when it comes to redecorating the walls that you choose specifies item fro each one of them. You can also try and take help of your family as per their occupancy of the space. Hang something I the walls as per their personal choices but down leave them empty. Walls can bring life into the house. Light them up.

Rugs To Walk & Trap
How they use rugs in magic comics and movies? The moment you step on it, it will turn into a swamp, and you will start drowning. If not it will turn into an UFO and will take you high in the sky. Either way, you will lose your footing. That's extraordinary a rug can be. Let's agree that finding a magical carpet is not that easy if not wholly impossible but finding a similarly beautiful one who can capture anyone's heart is possible and a smart move too. A rug can add a story to any place. Choose freely and bring all your favourite stories to your own home. Its fun, beauty and style.
Keeping What's Necessary
Meaning decluttering. Throw away all non-useful and arrange useful neatly. It's a view for the eyes as well as helpful in living a more organised life. You find everything in time, and because of proper stacking, everything useful become a part of your decor too.
The Front Door
The front door is the first representation of your home. Anyone who comes to see you faces your front door before meeting you. It should not be a regular sight. Especially when everything else just after entering the front door is beyond perfection. First, paint it in some bright colour. Like red or orange in hue or white oak. It will lighten up your entrance and bring good luck. Choose the door type carefully. Go fro s heavy-looking wood but don't correctly choose a heavy door. It's hard to handle for elders and kids.
Positioning Your Furniture
As our Joey said in Friends, where will your sofa face if you don't have a T.V? Point is, choose directions from your furniture precisely. Your sofa and seating arrangement around it should face each other perfectly. Is that when you have guests, they can easily face each other while interacting and chatting.
Revive and Renew
If you have some old furniture which is dear to you but looks really old and worn out. Yet you are willing to keep it at any cost, revive it to the core. Wax it, re-polish it and repair it if it requires repair. But if you don't want to throw it, theme it with all the other things you are keeping. It would be like killing two birds with one stone. You will be able to save your family heirloom, and you won't have to keep it in some storage. By syncing it with the rest of the furniture, you can actually use it. It becomes an asset and not a liability.
Increasing The Space Without Any Extra Expenses
Paint your ceiling in a light colour. It will give a feeling of bigger and airy space. If you fix your curtain rods little higher than necessary and hang long curtains in them, your windows will look tall, and they will make your walls look bigger. Space increased without any expense.
Finding The Latest Trends & Styles
If you are a fan of vintage items, then your choices would be different and easy to find. There are many options in decorating when it comes to a vintage collection, and they are easy to find. A few themes like royal, village and traditional, are more popular than others and easy to plan. Still, if you are looking forward to bring the latest style and comfort to your home, a little research is in order. Finding the right idea as per your space and personal choices and executing it with proper technology will be a bit difficult. Still, if planned ad completed properly, it will be a blast.
Small Things Big Show
Try to find a few although a modern and antique small and big decor items. Like a small antique mirror or a digital photo frame, anything you like. Although most people get their family pictures framed and hang them. But instead of hanging, if you put them on slabs and side tables, they will be the centre of attraction. You would remember all your good times.
New Year & New Bed Sheets
Although it's a small change yet use all new bed sheets for every bed. Cover your dining table with table covers and change your sofa covers with more weather-friendly fabrics. Like its always winters at the time of new year. So choose velvet and dark colours to cover your sofa and beds. Some extra cushions not only would bring more colour and scenery into the picture, but they would also make everything more and more comfortable. Soft furnishing is always extra comfort for the eyes, and it's essential to have extra warmth to feel extra comfy.
Mostly it depends on your choices, situation, the time-gap you took between two redecorating. Still, in case you are doing it after a long time, proper planning would be more than necessary. The complexity of the whole process will be significantly reduced if you research thoroughly. Some advance knowledge also helps you save money and get the best quality. If you are new to this, try to get some professional help. If you can not afford the whole package, then try to out-source some of the jobs.
After all, is said and done, it's totally up to you what you want to go ahead with. Although it's interesting to have a complete renovation of your home while doing so don't forget the reason behind it. You are going through all this trouble so you can make your family happy. Remember what pleases most of your loved ones. Spend quality time with your family and make lots of beautiful memories to cherish forever. It's a win-win.
