Feeling like your home needs a refresh? Behold the power of the mini makeover: adaptable to any budget, immediately effective, and best of all, achievable in one afternoon. Mini makeovers use quick actions, such as swapping out accessories or introducing new accent colours, to add interest to a space—meaning you don’t need to commit to lengthy or expensive complete overhauls to create a new atmosphere in your home. You’ll be surprised at how different a room feels after just replacing the cushions on your sofa!
When beginning your mini makeover, it’s essential to set a goal for what you’re hoping to achieve. Do you want the room to feel fresher with a lively energy, or would you prefer a cosier and quieter ambience? This will help direct your choices when considering what should stay or go in the space. It’s also key to set a budget: whether you’re buying new accessories or reusing preowned items from other rooms in your home, by understanding how much you’re spending you’ll be able to make practical decisions.
We tackled our own mini makeover this week, opting to switch neutral details with saturated yellows—creating a striking contrast which feels ready to tie in with blue, one of this year’s trending colours! Visit our Instagram to see the reveal or keep reading for our quick tips…
- Soft furnishings are a great place to start your mini makeover. Cushions can be easily switched with other options, or replaced with covers from other rooms in the house (two mini makeovers in one!).
- Moving furniture around the room can trick your eye into seeing your space differently. Perhaps you have an armchair or a side table that can be placed elsewhere?
- Freshening up! Nothing makes a room feel better than seeing what you love on display, so treat yourself to a bouquet of your favourite flowers or place some of your most-cherished accessories in full view. Fitted furniture can help you curate what you want to keep on show by providing discreet storage for anything you’d prefer to tidy away!
