9 Ways to Make Your Dull Place Beautiful and Attractive

Beautiful and Attractive Home

Making your place beautiful is not an easy task. Sometimes it can be hard to find the resources and time to make a dull place beautiful, but with a little effort you can transform the space into something you can enjoy day in and day out.

If you ever feel like your home is just not as nice and attractive as it could be, lets take a look at some of the best ways that help you make any place more beautiful. 

Here are some ways that you can spruce up and beautify a boring room in your house:

Paint

Painting is one of the quickest ways to change up the appearance of any space. There are many different colors available for purchase at most hardware stores or paint shops, so pick out a color that you like and give those walls a fresh coat! You can also paint the walls with a design that you like. This is an excellent way to add some personality and style to any room. Don't be shy to experiment with different paint colors, too! You can make a plain room look much more interesting by painting one wall in an unusual color or pattern and letting the rest of it remain white. This is great for rooms that are naturally dark like kitchens and bathrooms because then some bright highlights will bounce off the walls and make them seem brighter.

Clean up everything

Sometimes the walls are not where you need to start when it comes to sprucing up a room, though! If your furniture or floors have seen better days and feel drab, take some time out of your day (or weekend) and get those items looking new again. Get rid of old stains on your carpets or area rugs by using a cleaner made for the job. You can also get new furniture that is up to date and has more color, like bright yellow lamps on your floor or dark blue leather couches in your living room.

Bold and Beautiful wallpapers

If you're really feeling adventurous, update your look with some bold wallpaper! This might not be appropriate for every room, but a patterned wallpaper in your bedroom or bathroom can really make space feel more interesting. Large and small graphic prints are great for kitchens and bathrooms because they allow you to embrace color while still keeping things functional.

Fun-Loving Colors

Add in some bright colors. If you want to make your home look more fun, then add a pop of color with throw pillows on the couch or one wall of an otherwise neutral room. You can also update old furniture by painting it and adding new hardware—that way everything will stay put for years! Bring a vibrant couch in or a resting chair in bold red to add life to your living room. If your budget for home renovation is low, you can just bring in some pillows and cushions for a change. 

Change the Upholstery

If you're in search of a quick way to spice up your room without spending more money, swap out the furniture fabric. This is an easy and affordable update that will make a huge design statement in any space! Make sure the new material coordinates with the furnishing and other upholstery in the house. For the living room and dining go for an easy to clean and durable material. Changing upholstery changes your home theme in the minimum budget and lifts the style of the space instantly. It also gives your furniture a new and trendy look.

Put Up a rug

Your home is incomplete without an area rug. It creates that beauty and charm you desire in your home decor. Rugs also create a focal point for the furnishing. It is the perfect way to make a space more inviting. You can choose any size, shape and shade or color for your rug depending on what type of decor you are looking for. It also helps if you want to create different moods in one room like Zen style with oriental rugs design or contemporary theme. This will help you keep the room stylish, vibrant, and cozy. Besides, floor comfort, rugs are a great source of art. You can create wall art by hanging a rug on your wall.

When in Doubt, Go for Greenery

A plant will go a long way in making your room look more inviting and beautiful. The green shade is calming, serene and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Plants can never hurt your aesthetic sense. It looks fresh and brings the natural energy inside home. You can opt for indoor plants and if you're a bit lazy, go for artificial plants to bring the natural vibe in your room. For example, you can place a potted plant on either side of the bed and hang it from the railing so that it is visible from any angle in the bedroom to create an inviting ambiance. Or if you want to make your dull balcony beautiful then fill up with pots of plants and flowers.

Make a Gallery Wall Along-Side the Staircase

A gallery wall is a group of framed pictures hung next to one another on either side of the staircase or any other area. You can display family portraits, nature photographs and your favorite paintings in frames that are arranged as per your liking. The galley wall can beautify the dull staircase and make it look more attractive. Check out Tasmanian art oil paintings for sale to get started with your framed pieces.

Treat Your Windows

Strip the old window coverings and replace them with fresh new curtains. Curtain rods can be made to look less intimidating by using a curtain rod that is flexible in height, like telescoping door poles or even some sturdy rope strung between two walls. Drape your curtains over them for an instant decor update! Also changing the window frame color to a deep hue will create a dramatic effect.

Add Height

An easy way to make an area look more attractive is by adding height. You can do so with the help of bookshelves, shelves and any other structure that you place in your living room or bedroom. Shelves also create ample storage space, which is always useful. Additionally you can place plants on top or create a terrace of some sort by installing steps and building up the area with bricks. This will also help in bringing life to your dull living room or bedroom.
