Over the past 12 months, we have had more time at home than ever before, meaning we know what we want to do to our homes. Here are our top five home improvement tips for 2021 to make your home lighter, warmer, and a brighter space to be.

Let There Be Light

Sort out your lighting, so that it makes you feel amazing. There are so many options out there for people. Having one bright yellow light above your head should be a thing of the past in 2021. Take your time searching for ideas, and think about exactly what you want it for. 

Perhaps a daylight lamp for Vitamin D production or mood lighting in your bedroom and bathroom for those all-important romantic ventures you’ve been planning. Having well-lit cupboards and wardrobes can make life so much easier, no more peering in the dark to find a tin of baked beans!

Smart lighting has become more readily available this year too, with new inventive ways to light your homecoming out every month. Take your time, do your research, and find the lighting that is best for you.

It’s Time To Get Cosy

Stylish and energy-efficient heating systems are all the rage at the moment in 2021. Gone are the days of clanky old radiators, taking up wall space and failing to produce enough heat to keep you warm. Online retailers have started selling beautifully modern and ergonomically designed tall radiators. These sit vertically on your wall and are energy efficient. Make your heating a statement piece, not just a necessity.

Treat Your Best Friend to a Pet Palace

Gone are the days of a smelly pet bed in the corner of the room. 2021 is the year to glam up your pet’s paraphernalia and have it work into the design of your home. There are many pet bed designs on the internet for you to integrate, from hidden ones under your bed, to cat castles. Have a look and decide which type of pet person you are.

Find More Space Saving Solutions

Simple to set up space savers are useful now we are spending so much time at home. Using whole rooms as multipurpose areas can enlarge your scope for space. We are not just talking about a pull-out sofa bed, but about furniture and areas with multiple functions.

Get Artistic!

There are so many ways to get artistic nowadays. From creating art with paints and brushes, to craft projects and designing creative projects online. There is a style for everyone. Think about how you would like the space you are living in to look and get creating. From a painted wall or picture frame, to a handmade blanket throw.
