Furniture fixes


Furniture fixes
The best way to give your home an instant facelift without spending a cent is by revamping and rearranging your furniture. Make what you have work for you. A colour scheme change can be made with very little expense by adding some throw cushions to the couch, or splashing some paint onto the walls, of course, but making the most of what you have saves cash and allows you to showcase what you have to its best advantage.

Also, you won’t have to risk increasing your home insurance premiums, or your home contents insurance, if you use what you have and don’t spend a fortune on brand new furniture.

Start by taking a long hard look at your home, and ask yourself which items of furniture look good, and which ones do not. If there are any items which you would prefer to toss out, then see if you can’t swap them with a friend or charity shop for something more suitable to the space.

If you have a large home or apartment you will find it fairly easy to rearrange the furniture, but if you have a small home you might have difficulty fitting in all the items you want or need in a room.

In the case of a larger home, make one of your favourite items of furniture or a bold accessory the centre of attention. In a smaller home, try this too, but smaller home call for a minimalistic look, to create the illusion of a larger space.

Take advantage of every item which you cherish, and make space for new items by tossing out, donating to charity, or passing to friend, all the old items and accessories you no longer care for. Remember to get a home insurance policy too, these policies are well worth the tiny cost every month.
