We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Your home isn’t looking its best, whether it’s a bit messy or just needs decorating, and you realise you have guests turning up in just a couple of hours! So you find yourself running round, quickly tidying and getting as much cleaning done as possible, but your home still needs brightening up! Well, it can be done, and the solutions are fairly simple. Here are a few quick tips to get your home looking and feeling brighter in no time: 

 

1. Clean the Windows

What your windows look like can have a huge impact on the rest of the room. Now, we’re not implying that they’ll be that dirty in the first place, but the gleam of a freshly cleaned window can make a big difference. Give your windows a quick wipe and you’ll notice a big change! 

 

2. Open the Windows

Let some fresh air into your home by opening a few windows. It’s good for us to do this on a regular basis anyway, as air can stagnate in the home fairly quickly. No matter whether your home is a pristine palace or more of a work in progress, fresh clean air will improve it no end. 

 

3. Add Flowers

When in doubt, add flowers! They work well in communal areas, such as the kitchen and living room, where everyone will get to see them. Not only will they look pretty, but they’ll smell great too. Plus, they’ll provide a lovely focal point in the room. Of course, beware of pets getting hold of them, as well as people’s hayfever!

 

4. Make the Bed

Have you ever noticed that when you make the bed, the whole room feels more organised, even if it’s not? It’s a great starting point for getting a bedroom in tip top shape, but often even the tidiest of people don’t make their beds! Get that bed made and see how much better and brighter your bedroom feels within seconds.

 

5. Plump the Cushions

Plump, squishy cushions always look more inviting than flat ones that have that recently sat-in look! And they’re comfier too! Give your sofa and chair cushions, as well as any scatter cushions and pillows, a good plump and see how much more comfortable your living room looks!
