3. Use your space wisely

Look at each room individually and assess whether you could be using the space in a more effective way. Sofas and armchairs brought in from walls, even by a few inches, can make a room feel warm and comfortable. This task may involve a little bit of trial and error until you find a layout that is both comfortable and effective use of space. When assessing your use of space don’t forget to consider your storage cupboards. Install clever storage solutions like shelves, drawers and boxes to ensure you are getting the most out of the space.

Flowers are another way to ensure your home smells sweet, and they also add class and elegance to your home.
