As the seasons start to change, the current style in our homes can become a little stale. However, with more important things to spend money on, small touches to brighten the home are often overlooked. To help keep your home looking and feeling bright and inviting this cold season, here are some budget-friendly tips.

A feature wall is the best place to start when it comes to breathing new life into a dull and dark room. Take a look through your local paint store’s color guide for a bright and uplifting color. When choosing, remember that you might see this wall every day, so don’t go overboard with your brightness.

Fresh flowers are inexpensive and add an immediate sense of happiness into any home. Instead of buying the same ones from each time, look through the Groupon Coupons page for Teleflora and decorate your home with a new option each month.

Small and bright decorations or settings are a great option to bring color into your room and home. Whether it’s a bright yellow fruit bowl or a bright blue mason jar filled with potpourri, small additions around the home all add up.

Houseplants are often considered dated or reserved only for office environments. The trust is, however, that along with adding freshness and brightness to your home, the right houseplant can actually work to improve the quality of air inside your house.

Switching up the furniture is another quick and easy way to bring new life to a room. Something as simple as swapping the direction of the sofa and the television can be enough to liven up your feelings towards a room.

Give your furniture and carpets a clean. It doesn’t matter if you have dark furniture or carpets, dirt can quickly show and your home can look the worse for it. As you lead into Winter, give your carpets and furniture a thorough clean. Not just a simple vacuum, we mean a professional clean.

While the tips may seem simple, they will all add up to create a brighter and more inviting home for your to return home to this winter.
