  • Making Your Home Beautiful

    Kevin Green August 17, 2017     Comment Closed     Home Improvement

    If you have always dreamt of having a beautiful home but you do not know where to start and you do not have much money, you do not have to worry too much. The first thing you will need to do of course, is to arrange your home because simply getting rid of all the junk in your home will help to transform your home. If you look at the beautiful homes in design magazines, you will notice that they are extremely neat and tidy and therefore, this is the first step to making your home beautiful.

    Handmade and second hand

    If you want to have beautiful things but you feel you cannot afford them, this is because you have been looking in all of the wrong places. If you go to an auction for example, you should be able to buy moroccan rug for a fraction of the cost that it would cost you to buy it brand new from a home décor store. Like this, you will see that you can also get storage units, furniture and so much more at negligible prices at auctions and second hand stores. Charity shops are another great place to go shopping because they sell lovely things for very cheap and all of your money will be going to charity which is an added bonus.

    If you are a creative person, you may want to try your hand at making some gorgeous, artistic hand knotted rugs yourself. If you look online, you should see that there are tutorials on how to make them and you can use your own creativity to make them beautiful and in a theme that suits your home as well.

    The importance of colour coordination

    One of the biggest mistakes that we make with our homes is that we do not colour coordinate them and this is another reason that they do not look nice. Simply having your home colour washed in a light shade or in pure white to help the light reflect while colour coordinating and sticking to a colour theme for everything else that you buy could make your home look amazing. The reason that using white is recommended is that light bounces off the walls giving your home a luxurious look and also creating the illusion that your home is very big even if it is not. Most architectural and interior design principles are based on space and light. You can work both these by creating a balance between the colours that you choose for your new home.

  • Starting A New Business Of Your Own

    If you have some savings that you would like to invest in a business but you would also like to choose a business that has an impact on the world and the environment, you might want to consider starting a business that deals with recycling and re-inventing old things and things that would otherwise go in the trash. The world is facing a major waste crisis at the moment because of the changes in people’s lifestyles and therefore, a business that works to reduce waste and also reduce consumption is a great idea. 

    Home décor options

    You can potentially start a small home décor business which uses old throw away things to re-invent them and make them brand new again. A business of this sort will not require a very big investment but of course, you will have to put a lot of time and effort in to the work that you will have to do. As an example, you could buy old wooden furniture, redesign, reinvent it and sell it as new furniture to people looking to buy furniture for their homes. You could retain part of the older more classical design of the furniture while also adding in a modern touch to it to suit modern households and their designs. It would be a great idea to include a story about the piece of furniture so that people know that they are doing their bit for the environment when they buy it. You could buy old timber dining tables, old chairs, arm chairs and beds that you can fix and reinvent. Most of these pieces of furniture will have a nail missing or a broken or cracked area which you will need to fix or replace. Usually, a home owner will throw these away or give them away to an auction before buying brand new furniture and these things will rot away in auction houses because everyone wants to buy new things and therefore using a lot of new resources that the world cannot afford to give. Every time a person chooses new wooden fixtures, trees need to be cut and deforestation takes place. In addition to furniture, you can also use things like old plastic bottles, old packaging and various other waste products to make new things like lampshades, picture frames and various other things for the home. The idea is to create a new trend where people buy things that are made of recycled products. You can also run an awareness project that makes people aware of their consumption.
