Rejuvenate Your Home this January

When you have lived in the same house for a while the decor can become tired or outdated. Redecorating the home can often remain on the to-do list for a long time but a New Year is the ideal time to plan how you want your house to change. Particularly during the winter months when the sunshine is still in hiding, revamping your home is the perfect distraction from the drizzle.


Decorating your house doesn’t have to be stressful; imagining how your home is going to look can be really exciting. The first thing to think about is what sort of atmosphere you want your home to have: do you want a warm, minimalist look created by creams; or a bright red that gives the room atmosphere and personality?

Many homes have one room dedicated to family activities where children might play, while the living room possesses a more formal ambience. Farrow & Ball paints come in a vast array of colours ranging from light neutral tones that lighten up a room, to dark shades that work well as accent colours. If you have a preference for one colour such as cream, you can use slight variations of the shade throughout your home such as off-white and hound lemon so that each room is consistent but slightly different. Obviously wallpaper is an alternative. One wallpapered wall alongside three painted walls is a stylish compromise between the two. Farrow & Ball wallpaper can be matched perfectly with the paints to give the room a modern look. 



Once your colour scheme is decided the final step is to accessorize the room. Add some personality through small accessories such as an ornament or some framed pictures. Accessories don’t have to be expensive, even a bunch of flowers can enhance a room with their bright appearance and aroma. When the decorating is completed you will admire your home as if it is brand new all over again.
