Give Your Home A Bright New Look Without Breaking The Bank

Giving your home a new look  can be an expensive exercise, but it is easy to get by  without spending a lot of money . Using original - and not necessarily expensive - decorative objects, you can create a stylish, pleasant ambiance. The style of your home can be changed simply by the use of a few  well chosen objects..

You may be surprised to learn that   smells  can affect the atmosphere and the overall appearance of a room. But by the use of  home fragrances such as scented candles, essential oils and incense burners you can simply and quicly give your home a bright fresh feel . For instance, if you would like to enjoy a subtle fragrance while taking a bath, simply add two or three drops of your favourite essential oil to the warm water.

For a simple yet elegant decorative touch  , why not try using a beautiful bowl or interesting vase? Just imagine the dramatic  effect you can create with a bowl filled with brightly coloured fruit such as lemons, limes and oranges or a lovely  bouquet of flowers. Without spending much  you can pick up a wide selection of vases or bowls that could be used in this way.  Why not try a decorative  flat bowl simply sitting on its own on your coffee table for a fresh modern touch? If you prefer  a more traditional feel, you can fill your favourite vase with either fresh or dried flowers.

There are lots of  other inexpensive items  available which will give your decor a much needed boost, or fill your home with a little more character. These decorative ideas are usually easy to find , no matter the style of your interior decorating, from the traditional to the contemporary. Various objects  such as cushions, rugs and throws bring an added colour or texture without breaking the bank.

Lighting is a very good way to influence the atmosphere in your home . Using scented candles, especially luxury scented candles made by premium  brands like True Grace candles or Yankee candles, you can create an atmosphere of calm and romance . Candle holders and candlebras can be artistic and show off  your candles to the best effect ,  enhancing  the decorative appeal of just about any room you care to mention. For instance a large wrought iron candle holder, such as you might find  in an old country home or castle, can make a truly an impressive design statement  in most traditional homes.







And perhaps the easiest way to keep your home looking its best  is to have it regularly cleaned. Having your carpets and rugs professionally cleaned  every six to twelve months can make a dramatic  difference to the look of your home  

So you see, very often it does not take much to revive and brighten the interior of your  house or apartment - scented candles, essential oils, cushions - using your imagination, you can easily imbue your home with some much needed character
