Easy Ways To Amp Up Your Home's Aesthetic

While not everyone likes the idea of change, we all know the joy that even a small style update can bring to the home. The world of Pinterest and DIY has proven that you don't need to sign up for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in order to breathe a bit of new life into your living space.

If you're looking to list your property for sale in the near future, keeping it looking attractive is one of the easiest ways to snag the right buyer. And even if you're not looking to sell right now, you don't need a reason to change things up to boost your property's aesthetic appeal.  

There are plenty of simple ways to amp up your home's look and feel that won't require you to bend over backwards or break the bank.

So, without further ado...

Here Are 5 Simple Ways to Boost Your Home's Aesthetic Appeal

1. Paint

It's amazing what a simple lick of paint can do to take a space from drab to fab. Whether you change up the whole room or just go for an accent wall, a fresh new hue will always elevate your home's atmosphere - especially when you're low on time and cash. If you've got some home renovations planned soon, that could be a good time to whip out your brushes while you're in maintenance mode.

2. Plants

Bring the outside in! Winter is the ideal time to bring a little nature into your living space. Foliage of any kind adds a fresh airiness and a touch of elegance to the home. You don't have to break the bank buying oversized planters (though you absolutely can if you want). Small and simple can make a big impact. 

Try some of these options for affordable, low maintenance foliage: 

• Cacti
• Succulents
• Ferns 
• Eucalyptus leaves
• Seasonal flowers 

3. Lights

Attractive lighting is one of the easiest ways to show off a space. From modern downlights in a guest bathroom to trendy fixtures in the kitchen, there are so many options available that will help buyers see your property in the best light. Simple lampshades with interesting patterns and textures can add a unique touch to your lounge or bedrooms. You can even install light dimmers to help create a soft glow (and keep your electricity bill down at the same time).

4. Shelving

Simple shelving is not only beautiful and functional, but a great way to add texture and height to a room. Floating shelves or a freestanding pine shelving unit allows you to store and display beautiful objects with ease. An arrangement of geometric shelves can also create an interesting focal point in a room, where you can display small plants, delicate figurines, or small picture frames.

5. Decor

Changing up your decor from time to time is a great way to add something new to a space, even while your standard furniture pieces stay the same. Throws and scatter cushions are a great way to introduce colour, texture, and layers. Play around with seasonal colours to add warmth or coolness. Display stacks of interesting books on your coffee table, decorative bowls, vases, or figurines on your shelves, and paintings, canvases, or frames on your walls.
