As we head towards
Christmas and a new decade shortly afterward, it’s the opportune time to begin
thinking about a refurbishment and a rebranding of your home’s interior. Not
only will you have a new decade’s home additions to update your interiors with,
but you’ll have the inspiration that a new start can bring to your family and
friends – and a new project taking place in your home is a wonderful way to
start a new year. Below, you’ll discover five key ways that you can update your
home in 2020 in order to curate an interior that you can truly call your own.
Floors
Let’s begin with what’s
most overlooked in your home: the floors. If you’re willing to invest a little
capital in your home redesign project, then you might want to consider
under-floor heating: an elegant solution to your home heating issues that also
helps you avoid the annoyance of cold feet. Meanwhile, you may wish to tear up
old, smelly carpets in favor of stylish wooden or slate floors – updating the
smell, look and feel of your floors for the new decade.
Dramatic New Furniture
There’s something to be
said for the statement piece of furniture – bringing in the new in favor of the
old in order to rejuvenate a whole room without ripping up floors, delving into
walls, and completing a full and disruptive refurbishment. Of course, you can
still add these exciting pieces after refurbishing, but if you’re on a tight
budget and you’re looking for that one piece that’ll really blow guests away,
check out products online. You can find many iterations of the high-quality,
highly sought-after modern coffee table for your home,
for instance, to add chic and charm to your abode.
Energy Efficiency
Meanwhile, no home interior
redesign can be truly effective without taking into account the money that you
can actually save by updating your home. If your entire home is a little frayed
around the edges and in need of a thorough updating, then you may wish to
replace windows to keep out drafts, insulation to keep in the heat, and light
bulbs to save on your electricity bills. Enhancing your energy efficiency can save you hundreds of dollars per year, if you execute your plans
well.
Technology
Updating your home doesn’t
just mean making it less battered and bruised by applying a new paint job and
making your furniture selection count – it’s also about updating the electrical
and digital appliances that you have dotted around your house. From your hairdryer to your
tumble dryer; your speakers to your heating system – you can impact your home’s
feel and vibe by adding new technology to your interiors.
Rearranging Rooms
As your family grows
comfortable in your home, and your children grow older, you can find that the
social spaces in your home are left vacant, with kids in their rooms and the
adults in the kitchen, and little space to share and laugh. A simple rejig of
your home’s interior, perhaps shifting chairs in your lounge to make for a more
comfortable social space, can serve to update the energy in your home and bring
your family together once more for the new year.

ways to update your home interior as we approach and move into 2020.
