If you are tired of walking into the same old rooms every day, it’s about high time you implement some accessories pick-me-up. We’ve compiled a list of eight great ideas that will make your home life a little better.
Terrarium Planters
What brings more nature to your room than having your very own plant? Constructing an easy to maintain terrarium is a great option to liven up your desk, kitchen, and other rooms of your home. There’s just something stress-free about being surrounding by natural plants.
If you aren’t the gardening type, no problem. You can use a cactus or air plant to fill your terrarium. These require very little maintenance. Your new plants should be there to relax you, not something else on the list of things to keep up with.
Rails For Photos
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could change your photos at will? This is rarely the case with many homeowners as changing a photo requires a new hole being put into the wall. Instead of going through that hard work, install rails that are thick enough to hold your most prized photos.
These rails come in a variety of materials and colors. You will be sure to find the perfect one to fit your room’s theme. The best part is you can simply put whatever frames you want on the rails whenever you want. Switching out a photo is a breeze and you don’t have to worry about damaging your wall.
Slide-Out Charging Station
It’s time to upgrade your home to include your technology needs. From iphones to ipads, there are an abundance of chargers that you need to have. The problem is these chargers tend to get all tangled up and make your house look cluttered.
By installing a slide-out charging station in your cabinet or dresser you can decrease the amount of clutter in your home. This works perfectly as everyone knows exactly where their technology is at. The slide-out drawer is perfect to hide these items, by simply pushing it back in place within the cabinet. No one will know what is in the drawer until you slide it back out.
Remote Boxes
Every single electronic device seems to come with its own remote. From your television to your stereo, there’s always a new remote to clutter your coffee table. Instead of leaving them out in the open or lost in the couch pillow, purchase a designated remote box.
You can find these decorated boxes at our local craft store or online. Simply find one that is big enough to fit all your remotes. Then leave it in one corner or in the middle of your coffee table. This way you always know where your remotes are, but you don’t have to deal with the unnecessary clutter on your table.
Chopping Station
Any homeowner that enjoys cooking needs to have their own chopping station. This is constructed with a cutting board the pulls out of the counter, just like a drawer. This allows the perfect space and height for your cutting needs.
If you want to get even fancier you can install a garbage can that rolls out underneath the board. Then make sure there is an open hole in your cutting board where you can easily drop unwanted pieces into the garbage can underneath.
Simple Sink Grate
This is one simple and cheap change you can make to your home that you’ll enjoy for a while. Putting a sink grate at the bottom of your kitchen sink will allow you to better drain dirty dishes. In addition, this grate works great as a drying rack. Instead of taking up counter room, you can use the grate to dry your clean dishes.
A Leaning Mirror
Add depth to any room of your house with a leaning mirror. These save you from having to put a hole in your wall for hanging. In addition, they will help reflect more light, therefore brightening up any room for free.
Swing-Arm Sconce
These are useful in all rooms of your home. Instead of a set light fixture, opt for a swing-arm sconce. It can stay in a remote position during times of non-use. However, it can be pulled out of hiding and the perfect solution to better lighting when you need it.
Give these simple eight accessory changes a try. We are sure you will notice your home life is just a little bit better than it was before.
