Simple ways of refreshing home décor III (Bedroom, Kitchen and Bathroom)
Bedroom
As far as possible, try to achieve symmetry in this room. Have two matching nightstands and table lamps for this area. Again, invest in coordinated bed linen and change it often. Mount a mirror or a collection of family photos on the wall over the headboard. Or have a simple wall shelf on this wall and keep ornament, photographs and books. Create a seating area here. It can be a rocking chair or a floor cushion by the window. Display fancy perfume bottles on the dresser. In case of children’s room, devote one part of the room for play area or study. And to free the room of clutter, assign one cupboard only for toys and books. Colorful rubber mats in the play area will look good.
Kitchen
Have some wall mounted corner shelves to keep ornaments. Free the counter of clutter. Have a table with tiled tabletop in one corner to keep items that usually go on the counter like prepared food dishes and appliances. Display colorful ceramic jars on open shelves. Paint the shutters with a bright color although white is the perennial favorite.
Bathroom
Have a big frameless mirror over the sink to create interest. Place a potted plant on the vanity counter or fresh flowers in a glass pitcher. Store colorful bars of soap in glass jars. Brighten the wall tiles with special stickers or painted stencil motifs. Display a few wall hangings. Or, have a wall shelf to store things and display ornaments.
Clean your bathrooms
Bathrooms are one of the most important parts of our houses and hence need special attention and care. You should clean and maintain them properly.
Clean the sinks and toilets using baking soda and white vinegar. This should be done at least once in a month and should be done without any fail. After cleaning them in this manner, wash with warm water using flushing. This should be done for the sinks and tubs used in the bathrooms as well.
Clean the mirror used in the bathrooms regularly. You can use some mirror cleaning sprays for household purposes to clean them. Wipe them dry using some towels and newspaper to make them appear special and neat.
When cleaning bathrooms, you can use those special homemade cleaners to be more economical. If you don’t have much time to spend on this, prefer to buy quality cleaners from stores that are also efficient.
