Decor: It’s The Little Touches That Matter

People always focus on the bigger picture. Sometimes, all you need to do is focus on the little picture touches that matter. And most of you will be happy to know that the little touches are the most inexpensive but, in our opinion, have the most impact. 

Read on for our little touches you can make to your home that’ll make a big difference. 

Lighting

Lighting is one of the best things you can focus on. In the summer, lighting is a way to brighten the home and make it feel more open and breathable. In the winter, it’s about making the home as cosy as possible – and if you’re a winter hibernating, it’s the perfect season for you right now. The dark nights and mornings are the perfect opportunity to introduce a soft, warm orange glow to your home gently by steering clear of the harsh white LED light bulbs. 

Simply changing to a warm, orange glow and a few Aldi candles is enough to create the most heavenly room. You’ll spend £10 maximum for a completely different vibe that’s perfect for the living room or your bedroom. No, people do not have to go for ornate chandeliers to achieve the right effect in the room.

Doors and Handles

If you go to a home and they’ve had new doors, you best believe the person will ask you if you’ve noticed their new doors. They’re little changes that you don’t think will make much of an impact, but they really do.

If your doors are old, chipped, and a little outdated, think about replacing them with more modern options – there’s a great selection on websites like Doorways. And, yes, doors can become outdated and there’s such a thing as modern doors. 

Whether it is the changing of an old conventional door and putting in an up-to-date one or repainting an old wooden door, these pieces bring about a difference from the ordinary.

And then you can go down to the really minor little touches like new door handles. Again, yes, there’s such a thing as modern door handles. Stylish door hinges and handles do make a big difference. 

Soft Furnishings

The right soft furnishings in the house are unmatched in bringing the feeling of comfort to a home. You don’t have to spend a fortune here – we’re thinking the cushions, throws, and even rugs might seem subtle, but to you and anyone that knows your home, they’re a big difference. 

Even with cushion changing that is colour or pattern focused with the seasons changes, it gives the room a new feel without major room remodelling. There is nothing more welcoming to the living room than a warm throw on a sofa looking all around from a closer point of view. 

So, as you can see, it’s the little changes. Some of them we hope you didn’t already think about! Now, with the seasons changing, is the perfect time to change some of the little things in your home to bring a fresh vibe.
