Upgrading Your Home

19 May 2019 by Eileen

It is important for people to re-decorate rooms in their home every so often. After all, trends change with time and people need to update their home in order to guarantee that it is somewhere which is pleasant and enjoyable to be inside. If a room stays the same for years and years then it will slowly become dull and boring.

Are you looking for ways to improve your home? If so, here are some suggestions you won’t want to miss.

Upgrading Your Home

Add style to your home with eyelet curtains

There are lots of things to consider when buying curtains for your room. After all, they are an item that is going to attract the attention of everyone who walks into the room in question; therefore it is pivotal that they look good. Nevertheless, appearance is not the only aspect which needs to be considered when buying curtains. Aside from this you need to think about price, material, installation and more. Eyelet curtains are a great choice, and we will reveal why.

The first benefit of this style of curtain for your home is obviously its appearance. It has a quality to it which is extremely modern. These sorts of curtains possess a sleek, polished and sophisticated style to them – something which is classy and trendy at the same time. Not only this, but because eyelets are so popular at the moment it means that there are lots of different colours and patterns available in this curtain type. This is great because it means that people can get exactly what they are looking for and thus they can find something to suit their tastes as well as the room the curtains are going to be placed in.

Aside from the style of these curtains another massive benefit is that they are really easy to use and easy to install. The reason why they are easy to install is because there are no curtain hooks or rings required and this makes it a lot easier. They are also easy to use and manoeuvre and therefore you do not need to have a fight with your curtains every time that you want to open or shut them.

Furthermore, this type of curtain is available in a vast range of different materials. This is because the ring will be able to support a variation of weights. Therefore you can opt for anything from a thermal curtain to a sheer curtain. This obviously leads to an earlier point about being able to find curtains to suit your tastes and the room.

A final point worth thinking about is that there are so many versions of this product available on the market today. This is great because it means that if you search around you are assured to find some great deals and make some really good savings.

Stay up-to-date with all of the latest trends

You do not need to completely strip and entire room and start from scratch in order to give it a brand new vibe and look. Actually, achieving this is a lot simpler than many people imagine. All that a person needs to do is to change one or two furniture elements in order to add a burst of energy and life into the room in question. The best way to do this is to simply keep up to date with the latest trends in designer home accessories and decoration and then incorporate one or two trends into the room.

Switch up the walls

One way to completely change the entire appearance and feel of a room is to do something with the walls. It has become extremely popular to change the colour or pattern of just one wall in particular in a bedroom or living room. This is something which looks absolutely stunning and can make a room seen unique and individual. When deciding what to do with the wall in question there are two options which are popular at present. The first option is to use floral wallpaper on the wall which has been singled out. Not only is floral wallpaper pretty but it also has a warm quality to it which is highly welcomed in any room. The following option is for individuals who want to be ultra-modern in their decorating skills. This option is to adorn the walls with 3D tiles. The word ‘3D’ usually makes people think that it will be an expensive prospect however that is certainly not the case as this is something which can be done for an affordable price.

Another thing to consider is just to try and brighten up the room, and sometimes the walls can be a great place to start with that. It isn’t just about painting the walls or adding wallpaper, you could also use certain interior tricks to help give the appearance of a brighter space. This article suggests 5 ways to brighten up your home which could prove useful when it comes to changing up some of the interiors in your home. Lastly, don’t forget the power of natural light as this can also help to showcase the wall decorations.

Add a splash of colour

Another trend which is in at the moment regarding home decorating is to add a splash of vibrant colour into a room through a minor furniture piece so to speak. Bright colours often relate to happiness and they instantly cheer people up. An individual may have a white or a black room; however one splash of colour can instantly re-energise the room in question. Why not consider an orange corner table or a blue painting to hang on the wall.

Upgrade your radiators

A radiator is much more than a device for supplying heat. It has several essential functions in your home, especially in rooms like a bathroom. Aside from adding warmth, it creates a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, it heats up your towels, and it acts as a standout design feature as well. Therefore, from style to heating method, there is certainly a lot to take into account when buying a radiator. EHE are the UK heating experts and they can help you with this. Here are the steps you should take…

Step One: Choose from the following radiator heating options:

  1. Central Heating – You can opt for a traditional central heating radiator. These can easily be incorporated into your existing heating system. They provide efficiency and easy maintenance.
  2. Dual Fuel – Dual fuel systems are incredibly popular, as you will be able to heat your bathroom in isolation. This means that you do not need to turn your entire main heating system on, which is extremely beneficial during the summer months. It ensures no energy is wasted.
  3. Electric – Electric systems are popular since no pipework or flue is required. They are flexible, comfortable and give you great control over heating system, with rapid response to sudden alterations in room temperature.

Step Two: Choose your style of radiator

  1. Contemporary
  2. Traditional

Step Three: Choose from the following finishes:

  1. Aluminium – Aluminium has long been a popular choice of radiator, thanks to its heat conducting properties. It is also lightweight and one of the most eco-friendly options.
  2. White – You can’t go wrong with white – fresh, clean and versatile.
  3. Chrome – If you have a small or awkward shaped bathroom chrome is an excellent choice, as the finish reflects the light and creates the illusion of more space.
  4. Anthracite – Our anthracite radiators offer the perfect blend between practicality and elegance.
  5. Black – Black is ideal for those wanting to create a contemporary vibe.
  6. Stainless Steel – Stainless steel radiators are stunning, adding a touch of luxury and class to your bathroom.

So there you have it: some great ways to upgrade your home!
