LOOK ONLINE
This might seem obvious but online there are so many new and secondhand items you can use in your home. You can find a lot of bargains too, all over the world that your local stores might not stock. Sites like Ebay and Amazon are the main ones, but there are lots of second hand, or pre-loved sites where you can buy quality items from. You can also shop estate sales online to find a wide range of items for your home.
There are plenty of apps and sites dedicated to vintage or items of a certain style, so whatever your style, there is definitely something out there for you. There is so much more variety online, so if you want an authentic japanese cabinet from the other side of the world, or a Texan style bull horns on your wall, you will definitely be able to find what you need.
GETTING CRAFTY
There are certain items that you probably need professionally made, but there are so many ornaments and decorations that you can make yourself. Check out your local craft store, or why not have a go at some knitting or sewing? Decorating your new kitchen apron, painting some plant pots on the garden, or tiles in the bathroom, are all things you can get crafty with. Getting crafty will make your home look unique, and it can be really good fun! If you have children getting them involved with these kind of activities can be an afternoon well spent, and something for them to feel really proud of too.
CHANGE UP YOUR FURNITURE
While symmetry can look really good in some homes, making things mismatch can be a great change, and can really suit some homes. Changing some of the chairs in your dining room or kitchen can give a really nice feel to the room. It can make it look thrown together, and not thought about, in the most thoughtful way! It can give a really nice lived in or cottage like feel to a home too, making it feel more homely.
There are lots of innovative ways to change your home, that can enable you to get really creative. Looking online can give you a real variety, and so many options, to change the style of your home completely. Seeing your vision realized in you home is so fulfilling, so the best of luck!
