Enhancing Your Home

Big-ticket home improvements can transform a house, but there are many small and inexpensive ways to give a home a boost as well. Thoughtful touches and simple treats can send comfort and style levels skyrocketing and leave your bank balance largely intact. So focus on a few little indulgences and get ready to reap big benefits.

Reboot Your Bedding

Even if you’re not getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night, you will still be spending much of your life between the sheets, so treat yourself to quality bedding.

Cotton with a high thread count or crisp linen feels wonderful against skin. And while good-quality bedding will cost a little more, it will repay you with night after night of comfort. It’s also generally more durable than the ordinary variety.

Enjoy Fresh Flowers

Cut flowers create a pleasing splash of color in any space, bringing some of the natural world indoors. Splurging on big bouquets can be costly, but you can use small bouquets or single stems instead.

Separate blooms and dot them around your home for a floral detail in every room, or cut pretty flowers from your garden.

Energize With Pieces That Make You Smile

Add details to your space that make you smile. They may not be super stylish or crazily classy, but if they appeal to you, they will enhance your home. Quirky objects chanced upon in unlikely shops, found treasures or knick knacks from a flea market — whatever makes you happy deserves a place in your home.

Freshen With Subtle Scent

It’s easy to overlook the positive and pampering effect of delicate fragrance in a home, as the visual and tactile appeal of a space tends to take priority. Softly scented rooms welcome you before you’ve even had time to admire the pillows or artwork.

Buy scented candles, diffusers and room sprays or, at the very least, throw the windows wide for an hour or two to refresh your rooms.
