5 Decor Hacks to Make Your Home Look Cool

The best way to spruce up your home is by making a few simple changes to your decor. This will give your home a fresh new look, without emptying out your pockets. These hacks are simple, affordable and can be done in a short time frame, so if your house needs a makeover to look cool, or cooler, try these hacks.

Change Your Curtains 

When it comes to your curtains, there are three changes that you can make to them that will elevate how they look in your home. The first one is to change the print/colour. If you have always had simple, pastel colours, you can opt to go bold or bright or even get curtains with prints. If you place your curtain rods higher, you will also be able to create the illusion of large windows and high ceilings. The other thing you can change is how you display them; you can use innovative ties to add a dash to style to your curtains. Try things like beaded chains, belts, hair ties, bangles, and so on.

Reupholster Your Furniture

When your chairs, couch, and ottoman, all work well, are in good condition and are the perfect size for your home, why replace them? If you want to give you room a little makeover, without replacing your furniture, try reupholstering them. You can use different colours and patterns to really make your furniture look brand new and super cool. You can change the entire look of the room by having upholstery with geometric patterns for a modern vibe, or traditional patterns for an ethnic look, or floras and pastels for a lighter and more romantic feel.

Repurpose Your Furniture

Got a ladder that you don’t use? Paint it, clean it, and turn it into a shoe rack or shelves. Got a chest of draws in bad condition? Take out the draws and use them for extra storage around the house. Keep them under the bed to store a lot more, all out of sight. Got china you don’t use, turn them into vases or pots, add a bit of greenery to your home by repurposing these items, you’ll also help reduce waste.

Make a Bed Canopy

If you’ve ever read a fairy tale, you’ll remember that the queens and princesses always had a four-poster bed with a canopy. This look is dreamy, classic and even adds a little more privacy.  Replacing your bed for a four-poster bed might be expensive and unnecessary, but you can still make yourself a little canopy. You can use curtain rods and flowy curtains to create one, or make a frame from scrap wood and install it, then drape some lovely gauze fabric over it to give it that perfect dreamy effect.
