Sometimes it's a big, bold move, like completely renovating a dark, busy bathroom or kitchen into a bright, peaceful, and airy one. Sometimes, a subtle addition or simple subtraction can be small, thoughtful changes for an airy, peaceful look.
We are often short on time, energy and funds. Are you feeling frustrated by a space that needs attention but leaves you feeling stuck?
Whether it's a kitchen or a bathroom, as long as you have a lot of extra money, miles of patience and months of time, you'll probably end up with a beautiful result one day. But while they are in limited supply, there are always creative, intentional and practical options.
Often when we are looking for a quieter, less crowded, unpretentious space, it is to make small, thoughtful changes (acquisitions, deletions, modifications) that will not create a pile of debt or regrets.
you probably have a similar space at home. Maybe you are not happy with how it makes you nervous and not calm. And maybe you rent. Or maybe it's just not worth hiring a professional, spending a lot of money, or renovating it to resell.
Upgrade the builder-grade ceiling light to a pretty chandelier and add a gorgeous polished marble mosaic tile backsplash in this old laundry room?
A softly diffused, flickering light made this small space more welcoming. The light bounced off the reflective stone tiles, bringing a natural, organic layer to a sterile environment. A favorite color painted on the walls made me feel personalized. There were no headaches, no tears, no second mortgage.
Swap a large harvest table for a small, rustic, round dining table in the breakfast nook.
Also add a rug that instantly warms up and anchors the dining space.
Then swap that one out for a larger round table.
If you have more than one, have you considered swapping out the kitchen/dining/game tables in your home? It's a small thing, but it can completely change the feel and function of your space.
BESIDES. Maybe instead of a smaller table in your space like my trades, you want a larger one. The benefit of a huge farmhouse table (even if it's obviously oversized for the space) is its usefulness for spreading out with homework, crafts, and even folding laundry.
Another small change for a big impact kitchen? A small work table.
Removing excess can be more beneficial than any purchase or decorative zhushing. Living without clutter and difficult rugs/accessories/decorations makes it easier for us personally to maintain.
You can still add seasonal pops of color and layering as you please:
If you live in a small home or have a small kitchen, you can probably relate to the challenge of limited storage and keeping surfaces clutter-free for prep space and daily tasks.
Make your decor items work for you and think twice about embellishments that just sit there.
These rustic round wooden stools which can be used as seats, tables, step stools and more. They work as a perch near a bathtub:
Sometimes, small changes can add up to big changes without spending a fortune. And sometimes, it’s definitely worth spending now with the future and property value in mind. If your kitchen countertops are a threat to the peace of mind factor, you have a few options. While it probably doesn’t make sense to invest in stone or quartz if the cabinets are due for replacement soon, replacing a dark laminate with a butcher block or marble-look laminate doesn’t have to break the bank.
Have you seen the latest ready-made laminate countertops with thick edges, texture, gloss and a look that mimics marble?
If you decide to invest in stone or quartz, there are many options that will feel calm and not too energetic.
There is little to no DIY unless you choose to demo your own meters yourself, so for me this makes this change "simple". You can sometimes buy laminate directly from the store or online, and if you need custom countertops, it's even easier since professionals do all the work.
With a particular mindset, you may feel depressed/envious/bored when looking at influencer-inspired interiors on social media. “My small apartment is too small to feel serene and airy!” or “I can’t afford to hire craftsmen to renovate this place” or “I just don’t have time to make changes.”
But cozier tiny homes, smaller budgets, and even time constraints are relative. Small can be beautiful, whether it's in square footage or budget. Get inspired by thrifty makeovers and tiny living!
And be comfortable with the idea that you can be a slow decorator.
White paint is perhaps one of the simplest strategies for bringing serenity to a space.
If you're still not sure where to start with white paint, here's a tip. For a bright, fresh gallery white, try a ready-mixed white that doesn't have a tint. Or for a soft white in a room you want to make feel fresh and modern, try Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace . And for a white for a vintage home or space that you want to give to your traditional or timeless decor, start with Benjamin Moore White Dove.
Serene ambiances often call for cool colors and minimalist decor. The downside is that sometimes the look comes across as too cool and minimal. Layering anything cool with warmth and texture helps.
