S IMPL E CHANGE S TO RE VAMP YOUR HOME


Most of us have been spending more time at home recently than before than we usually do, whether we’ve been self-isolating or working remotely (or both!). In such situations, it’s easy to get bored with your surroundings and start eyeing up the things you’d like to change. Extended periods spent indoors mean it’s even more important to have a feel-good space but sometimes a complete overhaul isn’t needed, just a few tweaks can make all the difference. Home design expert Kate Bradley from Neptune at Edgbaston shares her tips for injecting new life into your interiors without even stepping beyond your own front door.


OLD FAVOURITES


Reacquaint yourself with old favourite possessions. Many of us have objects around that we almost never notice, simply because they’re always in the same place. It applies even to the things we really love. Give them a little tender loving care – wash or polish them if need be, and arrange as a still life somewhere you can enjoy them every day (kitchen windows, hall tables, a corner of your desk or opposite your bed are all good choices). Think creatively – do you have lots of coloured glass you could gather where it catches the light? Or found objects like pebbles and branches? Add some contrasting elements, too, such as scented candles or even a favourite bag or a piece of jewellery.
