Many people enjoy decorating their home, both when they first move in, and after a period of time.

If your home seems to be stuck in a previous era, it can feel even more important to get those changes put into place.

Modernizing Your Small Home

When it comes to homes with a bit less ground space, it can seem difficult to know what changes you can make without compromising on your already limited space.

By considering your personal style choices, as well as what you have to work with, you can come up with ways to make your home feel more modern, and even that bit more spacious too.

Using Art

One of the more basic ways that you can change the feel of your home is to alter the art that is displayed.

Smaller homes may mean that there is not a lot of horizontal surfaces available for this, so you can instead opt to use the vertical wall spaces instead.

Choosing a hexagon canvas online can also both allow you to truly personalize the images that you display, as well as to bring a bit of modern abstraction to your home.

These can range from family photos to images that you have found that are free for public usage.

Changing Colours

The color scheme used within your home can also make a great difference in how it looks and feels. Overly gaudy or loud wallpaper patterns might make you feel like you have jumped back in time, especially if they have yellowed with age.

Instead, you might want to consider colors that you and your family feel safe and relaxed with. Another idea that works particularly well in smaller homes or rooms is to opt for as light a color as possible.

This is because light colors, and white, in particular, reflect more light, allowing for a more open, roomy feel to the area in which they are painted. Using a sheen or silk finish can also aid with this.

Painting Units

It isn’t just the walls that can be changed within your home. You might also want to consider wooden furniture, as well as storage units, and even the cupboards found in your kitchen and bathroom.

While pine might have been one of the trendiest wood choices decades ago, now it doesn’t have the same appeal. Instead of spending vast amounts of money replacing these units, especially if, functionally, there is nothing wrong with them, you could always choose to change the colour of the wood.

This can result in items that look brand new without hurting your budget, and even by making rooms that bit brighter.

Making your home look a bit more modern doesn’t mean you need to rip out old furnishings or even set yourself an unreasonable budget.

Instead, you can find ways to make smaller changes or to refurbish the items that you already have, that can make a drastic difference to your home.

In addition to this, finding ways to combine your modernization with strategies that make the most of space can help you feel like you have more living space overall.
