Easy Home Improvement Projects – Enhance the Beauty of Your Home Overnight
So here was the scenario: It was Thanksgiving and Libby was throwing a dinner party. Somewhere between basting, baking, and worrying about what time her guests would arrive (hopefully, then finished cooking); she realized that she had overlooked a crucial matter: the matter of making her house presentable. With only half a day left to make her home “perfect for the party,” what’s a host to do?
Hosting a party tomorrow night? Are you having an important guest that you need to impress? Well worry no more, here are three easy, tried and tested home improvement projects that will leave your guests with nothing but good things about your home.
1. Turn it on.
Lamps, lanterns, Christmas lights, candles – all these things add a touch of whimsy and romance to any room. Good lighting makes even the most ordinary space look more beautiful, due to the play of light and shadow that it presents to the eye. It’s a proven fact that candlelight enhances the features of the human face, so don’t forget to stock up on that. And just a friendly reminder: stay away from white fluorescent light. It does the opposite for its features.
2. The art of covering.
When you don’t have time for major upgrades, know this: What you can’t change, you can cover. So go and buy new pillow cases and slipcovers for your sofas and chairs or get new bath mats for your dressing table. Sometimes even changing hand towels in the kitchen or bathroom makes a world of difference.
3. Say “Ramos”
The flowers are pretty and bright. So distribute them all over your house! You can never get enough of these buds. Just be sure to choose and organize them carefully. You wouldn’t want your living room to look like a funeral home.
With these easy home improvement projects, you’ll be on your way to having a great time. And by the way, Libby’s Thanksgiving dinner was a complete success.
