A brand new year is just around the corner, so what better time to think about giving your home a brand new look!

When you move into a Red Deer home they are furnished, but with our help you can decorate them to suit your style. Below are some great tips for freshening up the look of your park home.

Small Changes

Often a few small changes can make a big difference to a room. You don’t necessarily have to change large fixtures. Once you’ve chosen your colours or a theme to carry throughout the room there are items which can easily be replaced such as:

  • Cushions
  • Throws
  • Curtains/blinds
  • Rugs
  • Wall fixtures i.e clocks, picture frames, wall hangings
  • Ornaments

Take a look around the room and see if there is anything small that can be added or taken away. It’s easy to add homeware accessories to bring texture and personality to a room.

Making The Most Of Space

Our homes are perfectly sized to suit your needs, but you need to find the right balance between cosy and cluttered. We often get used to seeing the same items around a room so we never think to remove them. Take stock of what is in the room you are freshening up. If there’s anything you don’t have any particular hold on place it somewhere else in your home or give it away to charity!

There are also a number of ways to make the space you have look bigger aside from de-cluttering. To help create the illusion of more space you can try lightening your walls and adding mirrors onto the walls.

Classic Decorations

Sometimes it can take so long to decide how to decorate a room. There’s nothing worse than getting round to actually putting things into place to find you’re not really that keen on it any more. Why not choose colours, designs and fixtures with a more timeless look?

Stay in style for years to come, for example, with more neutral tones. If you do decide to redecorate again this makes it much easier to change small things to make a big difference.

Show Off Your Personality

At the end of the day this is your home – make sure you add your personality to the space! Do you have knick knacks, photographs or trophies? Make sure you find the best way to display them whether that’s on a shelf, on the walls or a window sill.
