If your walls and furniture look dull, try repainting them. A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to refresh your home on a budget. However, if you take on this task or any other home renovation, you may want to move out temporarily. It is best to leave your home during this project because of fumes primarily, and because workers will have easier time navigating your home.
Moreover, if you have toddlers wandering around the house, moving out is a good idea. Small kids can get into dangerous situations if you don’t watch them at all times. And since you will be busy repainting, they should be kept safe in a different home. But once you move all your necessary belongings and your kids, you can start refreshing your walls and furniture.
If your walls are white, you can now add some color to your rooms with cheerful combinations. For instance, you can try some blue and green, or red and orange. Also, if you aren’t that into using bright colors, you can choose pastels. A soft pink, a light cream, or a delightful peach will do the trick just as well. And, when it comes to furniture, you can also use colors to refresh its look. Repaint the cabinet doors in the kitchen, the nightstands in the bedroom, or the coffee table in the living room.
Choose colors that match the walls or highlight furniture with contrast colors. It’s up to you and your creativity.
