Every day has been glorious with the full return of sunny weather and providing some much welcome warmth. We are opening our curtains earlier and finding time to enjoy the mornings and to keep our living rooms looking good each day we can look for some sunnier touch-ups.
This means a spring touch up in design, for the most part – pushing out the gloom and freshening up the atmosphere. It comes in new colours, new fabrics, and even new flooring styles.
To provide a new lease of life without ravaging your savings account to achieve, it can be done with simple furniture shifting or putting something down that gives it a new life.
New Paint
The better colour option is choosing neutral colour palettes for the room. Going neutral with your colour choice is not about being dull, it keeps things easy should you decide a change come over your choice later in the year.
Even if you decide to change the furniture or swap fixtures throughout the year, it is much easier to compliment them or to paint over them should you change your mind about the tone.
Light greens and yellows provide a nice brightness and a calm tone to a majority of rooms.
Throws potential
For those who are sick of their furniture but admit it is still incredibly cosy. This could be a great time to invest in some couch and chair throws to jazz up their character.
Throws are great for the winter but that does not mean they are exclusive to the season, as they can provide a great ambience and extra warmth. Instead of fully replacing your comfy sofa for something more stylish, buy some throws and cover the old furniture to make it look more stylish, a more cost-effective measure at a fraction of the cost.
Vinyl
Speaking of a cost-effective measure, luxury vinyl flooring has become a very popular product in the home for those conscious of their budget. Vinyl is no longer considered a cheap and tacky alternative – instead being the highest consideration from interior designers.
Whilst many of us want real hardwood flooring throughout the home, it doesn’t place high in plans where our budget is concerned. It’s a costly process for one room alone, let alone throughout the house.
For those who want the real hardwood look and have a tight hold on the bank account, Invictus flooring provides perfectly replicated hardwood and stone designs at a much more cost-effective price.
Because of its increased durability in comparison to carpet or laminate, providing scratch and stain resistance as well as moisture protection, it is the perfect flooring for high water risk areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.
These are small to medium steps in touching up your home and layering the floor with Invictus, such as grey parquet flooring, provides the perfect foundation for the home.

I love a good reset/refresh especially going into a new season. I can’t wait for it to be a bit warmer so I can have my windows open and get fresh air in. Fresh paint has such a big difference. When I did my ceiling, skirting and radiator, it made my space lighter and cleaner. Thank you for sharing these suggestions.
