The fresh start of a new year often brings changes, and there’s no better way to ring in the New Year than with a home refresh. With working from home being more popular now, most of us are spending a lot of extra time at home these days – so whether you’re looking to make a move this year or just spruce up your current space, here are a few of our favourite ways to refresh your home for 2021.
A Fresh Coat of Paint
There’s no easier way to give your home that ‘fresh’ feel than with a new coat of paint – we recommend going for a light shade to make your space feel bigger and brighter. This definitely comes in handy during our dreary Toronto winters!
New Wall Decor
It’s truly amazing what a difference a small change in wall decor can make to your home. Mirrors help make the space feel larger and bring more light into your home, and framed prints help give character to bare walls. Keeping in line with our encouragement of supporting local, check out Etsy for some amazing prints and paintings from some of Toronto’s most unique artists.
Plants & Flowers
At Luke Fraser Homes, we’re big believers in greenery & we always love having fresh flowers around – especially in the winter. Whether you prefer fresh from the local market or a fake and waterless plant is more your speed, bringing some life into your home is a great mood lifter and is an easy way to make your home feel fresh.
Throw Pillows
With all the time we’ve been spending at home lately, replacing your throw pillows and design of your living room is an awesome way to recharge your living and working space. Adding a new throw blanket is a great idea for the chilly nights and your next Netflix binge!
