Actually, to be able to bring a new impression in your home, you can do simple things without having to spend huge amount of money.

Here are some simple house decor ideas that we hope will help you decide what kind of renovation you will choose to be applied in your house.

1. New Wall Paint Color Option

You can actually do a fairly light renovation like changing the nuances of your house’s paint. You can change it only in certain rooms such as the living room, family room, dining room, or bedroom, or repainting your the whole house, whether interior or exterior.

In addition, you can also replace the nuances of paint only on certain elements of your home, such as doors / shutters and frames, railings, furniture, and so on. Free your imagination and try experimenting with new colors or with new types of paint such as textured paint for example. Don’t be afraid to try.

You can try applying ivory or warm white shades to your room, for example, bright blue for your bathroom, or other colors that are of interest to you, which can create a feeling of being at home. However, you still have to remember that you are not recommended to combine various colors randomly which actually has the potential to bring out the color composition in your home.

Also pay attention to the color theory, and how one color interacts with another color which in turn can create nuances and atmosphere. Thus the room that you are renovating will really present the impression that you want homy.

2. Use Partition

During this time when building a house, often we limit the room with solid / rigid boundaries such as stone or brick walls. In fact, we can just make a number of rooms without having to make a permanent bulkhead which sometimes creates the impression of an increasingly narrow room.

If you look at some traditional houses, for example, a Javanese traditional house has a room divider called gebyog. Gebyog is mostly solid wood, but there is also a simpler gebyok which has a perforation / hole so it is not completely solid / closed. Another example is in traditional Japanese houses that have room dividers using shoji paper that can be transparent and not solid.

Of course this can also be applied when you are renovating your home. You can put room partitions to create a new room according to your needs, for example you can divide your family room which is quite large into two rooms, a family room and a children’s playroom by adding partitions. However, indeed this really depends on the condition / area of ​​the room that you will arrange, so that your creativity as a house occupant is indeed needed.

You can add paintings, photos, abstract pictures, hanging carvings, puppets, posters, calligraphy, and various other decorative elements on the walls of your room. You can also add other decorative elements in the corner of your room such as pots and interesting plants. Of course, if you add plants as a decoration element in your room, you also need to make sure that every day the plants get enough sunlight so that the condition is maintained.

In addition you can also add decorative elements to the shelf such as small vases, photo frames in frames with stands, medals, ceramic plates or metal that you buy from a souvenir shop when you go abroad for example, or various other decorative elements which you can make yourself / your own work. However, of course you still have to pay attention to the composition, not to get too many decorative elements on the shelf so that it makes the room look crowded.
