How to spend your free time? A cheap interior makeover without leaving your home is a great idea!

There are a lot of interesting ideas floating around. Consider, for instance, a simple furniture upcycling project or redecorating your home using creative ornaments, which you can make yourself or order online without leaving the house. You can go for some subtle changes or a complete makeover – it all depends on your imagination. It’s also worth keeping in mind the fact that spring is just around the corner. Therefore, if you’re thinking about different ways of spending your spare time, you can start with a proper spring-cleaning. It’s really unavoidable and the sooner you do it, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy a clean and orderly house. Let’s get cracking then!

How to spend your spare time productively? Let’s start with cleaning!

It doesn’t matter how serious the makeover is, it’s always important to begin with a thorough clean-up. You’ll instantly feel better in a well-organized space. Here are four steps that will guarantee you success!

You can spend your extra free time, for instance, on reorganizing your shelves or cabinets. It'll help you avoid monotony

• First, start with your closet and clothes. Wash your winter garments and put them away, take your spring clothes from the upper shelves and put them in a more accessible place. You can also use this opportunity to sort through them and see if there’s anything that you don't like or don’t wear anymore and put it in a plastic bag to give away to charity. While you’re at it, wipe the shelves with mild detergent or essential oils.

• Put away all of the unnecessary knick-knacks that take up on shelves or desks into empty shoe boxes. Now let’s move to making creative decorations. Research ideas for DIY ornaments (for example using decoupage) so that they look esthetically pleasing.

• Cleaning the windows is one of the most important things when it comes to spring cleaning and if you’re spending a lot of time at home now, crystal clear window panes will help liven up the atmosphere in your house.

• If you have a lot of flowers on the windowsills, shelves and tables, try making beautiful flower pots that can be hung from the ceiling. Woven Boho-style plant hangers are especially worth considering here. You can order some rope on the internet and then look up DIY tutorials. 

Window cleaning isn’t that bad! You can divide up the chores between your family members to make it quick and efficient

• Our collection of wall murals is incredibly vast. There are a few things you should keep in mind when it comes to these wall decorations. Firstly, the style and the color scheme of your space. Classic Blue has been very fashionable this year, that's why some of the most popular ideas include geometric patterns in this hue or depictions of turbulent navy blue waves. You can also consider murals that imitate various materials, such as  marble, terrazzo, wood, or stamped concrete.  And if you want to surround yourself with lush greenery, you'll definitely find many appealing motifs with exotic plants. 

• And if you’re not convinced about murals, perhaps you can consider posters? Can you take your décor to the next level with posters? Absolutely. Pick a large format poster or create a gallery wall, which could be a mixture of several different designs. When thinking how to cheaply renovate a flat, you don’t have to turn your entire home upside down. A couple of unique graphics will be just enough to achieve a great result. Depictions of famous cities, botanical retro sketches, or art line drawings are only a few of the many intriguing ideas that come to our mind.

Refreshing furniture: ideas not only for furniture restorers

Whatever we do nowadays, we should always think about a way to do it in a more eco-friendly way. If you don’t have much to do at the time, you can refresh the look of furniture that you’ve been using for many years. Instead of throwing them away and buying new ones, maybe do some creative upcycling.  You don’t need to be a professional restorer, since our ideas aren’t all that challenging. There are two projects we have in mind. The first one is repainting a piece of furniture of your choice – e.g. a shelf, dresser, coffee table, or chair. You may have some leftover paint from previous renovation project. If not, it should be easy to find a color that you like online.

Upcycling your old furniture is a creative and eco-friendly way to spend your spare time

You’ll be surprised how easily you can transform the look of furniture by simply changing its color. The second idea is using a self-adhesive sticker. You can use it to decorate a desk top, coffee table, or a dining table but also to freshen up the front of a sliding door closet or a TV stand.  

If you aren’t able to repaint a piece of furniture, consider decorating it with a sticker, which will perfectly cover up any scratches and damaged parts. Transform the look of your space with a very fashionable terrazzo pattern! - myloview.com
