10 easy ways to refresh your home this new year without breaking the bank

1. Repaint an accent wall
A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a room. Rather than repainting an entire space, focus on an accent wall to add colour and personality. Visit our paint mixing studios in store to customise your perfect shade – all with a professional finish.

2. Add wallpaper for impact
Wallpaper doesn’t need to be expensive to look stunning. Even a small section of patterned wallpaper can act as a feature wall or backdrop. Check out our range of wallpaper and decorating supplies to find statement styles or textured designs that suit your home.

3. Go big with mirrors
Large mirrors help bounce light around a room and can make even compact spaces feel bigger and brighter. Arranging mirrors opposite windows or in unexpected places creates visual depth. They’re also a great way to add style without major expense.

4. Create a gallery wall
Turn blank walls into a focal point with framed art, prints or personal photos. A curated gallery adds character and makes any space feel more finished and personal. Balance different sizes and shapes for the most stylish effect.

5. Upgrade storage to declutter
Clutter can make a home feel tired. Stylish storage solutions like baskets, boxes or shelving not only help tidy up but often enhance the look of a room too. Head to our home storage and accessories range to find options that are both functional and beautiful.

6. Refresh textiles and soft furnishings
Updating soft furnishings like cushions, throws and curtains adds colour and texture instantly. Small changes in fabrics can give your living room or bedroom an entirely fresh look and are very budget-friendly compared with furniture replacement.

7. Accessorise with purpose
Accessories are the easiest way to refresh your home’s look. Think stylish vases, candles, ornaments, clocks and decorative objects. The right pieces can pull a room together and reflect your personal style – perfect for filling in those final design gaps.

8. Create feature details
Little details go a long way – adding a painted stripe on the wall, stencilled patterns, or even repurposing patterned tiles as decorative accents can elevate plain walls and surfaces for very little cost.

9. Improve ambience with lighting
Swap out tired light shades or add affordable table and floor lamps to change the mood of your rooms. Warm light creates a cosy atmosphere and can spotlight decor features, making a space feel more intentional and welcoming.

10. Use plants and greenery
Houseplants are an easy, eco-friendly update that brings life and colour into your home. Even low-maintenance indoor plants or faux greenery can soften spaces and boost ambience- no major renovation needed.
