Tired of the same boring rooms every single day? You don’t need to renovate your whole home to have a new look. By trying these eight simple home accessories, you can spice up each room and make your home life a little better.
1. The Leaning Mirror
A mirror opens up another realm making your room appear bigger than it actually is. This extra space can give a particularly small room a sudden refreshing feeling of openness. The best part is that when you lean a mirror you don’t have to put any holes in your wall.
2. Swing-Arm Plug-in Sconce
These swing-arm lamps are perfect for bedside reading. They don’t take up space on your table and they contract back towards the wall, so you don’t have to worry about hitting your head later. A sconce is a great addition to living room furniture or a desk as you can extend them out for extra light when you need it.
3. Chopping Station
If you like to cook at home, you know the importance of using a cutting board. The problem is you have to continue to pull it out and put it back. With a new chopping station installed by Alair Homes Orillia, you can take advantage of modern technology. We will install a roll-out chopping board with a built-in hole so that you can position your roll-out trash bin underneath for easy cleanup.
4. Bottom Sink Grate
Speaking of kitchen upgrades, purchasing a simple sink grate that fits nicely into the bottom of your sink offers many advantages. A grate will put a layer of separation between your dishes and the bottom of the sink, which allows for easy draining. In addition, it can be used as a hidden drying rack for your dishes. This takes the clutter off of your counter and puts it out of sight.
5. Photo Rails
Installing a few photo rails on your walls can save you from constantly putting new holes in the wall every time you want to add a new photo. Simply lean the bottom of the photos against the photo rails and you’re done. You can change the order at any time and putting up a new photo is a breeze. One handy tip to remember is these small rails work great as little additions for things like keys and phones. They’re much easier to install and take up much less space than a shelf.
6. Station For Phone Charging
Technology comes in numbers and it’s time you upgrade your home to accommodate this new revolution. Add a custom drawer or rail to your closet, kitchen, desk, or hallway. Add little holes to allow for the charging cords to go through and use an electrical strip to plug-in all your charging wires. This will save you a headache as you will have a permanent place to charge all your accessories and you’ll know exactly where they’re at.
7. Terrariums
Terrarium planters are easy to make and require little gardening abilities to keep. Placing one on the side of your desk, living room table, or even kitchen counter will give a greener look to your home.
8. Technology Storage Boxes
Having remotes, iPods, iPads, and every other form of technology laying around on all your tables can make your home feel cluttered. Clean up the mess with unique storage boxes that hold these items. This makes it very easy to find your technology when you need it, but keeps them out of sight when you don’t.
With so many different options to keep your home more modern, you’ll always enjoy upgrading your rooms. These eight great home accessories tips from Alair Homes Orillia will make your home life a little better and clutter-free.
