So when you redesign your home, what exactly should you do to it? If you’re short on inspiration, here are a few ideas to get you started.
The place where many people like to really go to town with their design ideas is in babies’ and children’s
rooms you can paint them bright colours, do imaginative pictures of fantasy environments, draw pictures of the child’s favourite characters from books and TV, and so much more besides. If you do this, why not let the child join in with the painting and show you what they want, with you just being there to help make their decoration dream.come true. However, one thing to be careful of is to keep redecorating their room as they get older you don’t want them to be embarrassed to bring around friends when they’re a teenager because of their babyishly coloured room.
Another idea could be to make an ‘outdoors’ house, taking inspiration from your garden in how to design your home. This means lots of greens and blues, lots of plants, outdoor fragrances, lots of windows a real outdoor feel indoors.
Indeed, the best way to design a home yourself is often to just pick a theme and take it as far as it will go. I know a couple with a ‘space house’.complete with portraits of rockets and black ceilings with painted stars it sounds silly, but it’s really interesting to look at. Whatever you’re passionate about, make your house show it.
Don’t forget, though, that redecorating doesn’t have to be all about tearing things down and buying new stuff. You can get a long way with a few posters, ornaments, or just reorganising or repainting your furniture. You really don’t need to break the bank and hire a handyman to get your ideal home, as a little work can go a long way.
