Add in some panelling

For an instant home upgrade, then adding in your own panelling is a great idea. There are many tutorials that you can follow which show you how to do it, or you could get a professional in. Panelling is a great way to make a home look luxurious and inviting, while also providing insulation, covering uneven walls and even hiding aspects you don’t want to be seen such as radiators.

Touch up any paintwork 

If it has been a while since you redecorated, then it could be a good idea to touch up your paintwork. This is a super simple task but can make a real difference in the feel of your home. Make sure if you are painting furniture that you prime and prep it correctly beforehand; this way it will last and won’t chip and wear down so quickly. Don’t forget to touch up doors and door frames, this will instantly uplift your space and make it look much fresher.

Consider an extension

If lockdown has you clamouring for more space, then it could be a good idea to consider an extension. It could be that you want to add on more space for your kitchen, a dining room or another bedroom. No matter the reason, there are many ways around this. If you don’t want a full-extension, you could consider adding in a dormer loft extension. This is an extension to an existing roof to create additional floor space and headroom. You will be surprised at how much room this adds and what a difference it can make to your home.

Switch up your furniture

If you can’t think of what to do to your home physically, then it could be a good idea to invest in some new furniture. Perhaps your sofa is looking a bit tired, or you have had that rug for years. No matter what it is, get onto Pinterest and furniture inspiration sites and think about the aesthetic you are going for. You want to consider how the new items will fit in with what you already have and your current decoration and colour scheme.

Change your flooring

Flooring is another element that can easily upgrade your home and doesn’t require too much work. If you currently have carpet and want to stick with that, it might be worth investing in some new carpet to replace yours. You will never regret the feel of soft and fluffy carpet underfoot! If you are looking for something different, why not invest in some wooden or laminate flooring? This can add a contemporary and stylish finish to any space and is a great upgrade idea.

These are just a few ways that you can easily upgrade your home in 2021. Don’t forget to take before and after photos to document the journey and so you can see what a difference you have made.
