Are you tired of your monochromatic interiors? It’s time to jazz up your place, then. Perhaps your all-white home looked great when you first bought it, but now doesn’t bring you any joy? Maybe you want to add some pops of colour into your rental flat that won’t make you lose your deposit? We’ve put together some ideas to add some vibrance into your home with options to paint or to ditch the paintbrush.

Create a picture gallery.

Add picture frames with bold and colourful art to any room in your home or group together different shaped bright photo frames for a visually appealing wall décor. Maybe choose one sizeable vibrant art piece for a quick wall refresh. If you need some help to hang large pictures or rearrange your extensive collection of frames, the Handy Squad can give you an extra pair of hands.

Add some greenery.

Flowers and plants are perfect to add a small dose of colour and life to any part of your home – bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens. Plus, plenty of plants can also improve the air quality in your home, so it’s a win-win situation.

Change the lightning.

Lighting will have a large impact on the overall décor of your home. You can choose to go for a colourful statement pendant light to add a splash of colour or you can easily change the mood by choosing colour changing lights. Need to relax? Change your lighting to blue. Having a romantic dinner? It’s time for some soft red lighting. Our London electricians will be able to replace lighting fixtures, change lightbulbs and install LED colour changing lights on your gaming room walls for a futuristic feel.

Get the paintbrush out.

The easiest way to give your home a colour update is by painting it in a different colour. However, don’t just stick to painting all your walls the same tone or painting an accent wall one colour, why not play around with colour? Choose a few contrasting colours and be creative with tape to create a unique graphic pattern.

If painting your walls is out of the question because you’re renting or because it seems like too much of a permanent solution, perhaps giving a coat of paint to forgotten spaces of your home, such as the back of bookcases or skirting boards, could be a good idea. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty with paint, our decorators in London can paint rooms, repaint kitchen cabinets and even paint stairs.

For a quick fix, why not go for a colourful peel and stick wallpaper? It’s easy to install compared to traditional wallpaper and, if you get bored of your current wallpaper, it can be easily removed and replaced. Get the Squad to come by and install a beautiful tropical leaves wallpaper to your living room wall to feel like you’re away on an island adventure.

Add colour to your windows.

Who said that curtains and blinds need to be in neutral tones? Forget about light grey curtains and warm-white blinds, go for colourful curtains and blinds instead. These will add a fresh new tone to your interiors and can tie-in the rest of your colourful living room accessories.

Tile it up.

Give your bathroom an upgrade with colourful tiling or, if that’s too daring, why not choose some colourful grout instead? For your kitchen, add bright and dazzling splashback to make your walls stand out. At the Handy Squad, our team can tile bathrooms and kitchens or simply change the tile grout.

Canada’s weather is unpredictable, and if your home is not prepared for it, it could cause some damage before spring arrives. Some cleaning or repairs are ideally done before the snowfall, otherwise, it’ll be more challenging with the snow and cold. AdelCo Home Services in Vancouver share how you can get your home’s exterior ready for winter. They focus on three areas: window cleaning, gutters, and general repairs.

Gutter cleaning and repair

Having a clean gutter is crucial to avoid flooding or water build-up around your home. Especially in autumn, there’s likely plenty of leaves up there waiting to cause problems. Having them properly cleaned out before winter will prevent flooding from occurring and causing future damage to your home. These damages can include leaks, foundation issues, staining, rotting, and your gutter may even fall off from the extra weight. Gutter cleaning is a great and necessary option to keep your home safe through the rainy winter, and all year-round. The cleaners will also be able to inform you of any necessary repairs your gutters may need during the cleaning process. Adelco Home Services offers gutter repair, so your home will be in tip-top shape for the wet season ahead.

Window cleaning

The cleaners at AdelCo Home Services rely on the traditional way of cleaning windows. Your windows will get a great quality wash with no streaks or spots. With the use of pure water and the proper cleaning tools, your windows are in great hands. Cleaning your windows is a time-consuming task. If your home is multiple levels, it can be dangerous as you’ll have to climb up onto ladders and possibly the roof. It’s a job best left for the professionals. You’ll be happy to be looking through crystal clear windows as you spend time indoors during the colder months.

Pressure washing

Going further than windows, it may not be a bad idea to get the remainder of your house looking great too. Not only will dirt, stains, and other debris be removed in the process, but you’ll be able to look for any cracks or damages to your home’s exterior. Pressure washing works great for brick and stone, but you shouldn’t pressure wash vinyl siding unless you know what you’re doing. Its possible water can get between the slats and cause some issues. Consider a pressure wash for your home’s exterior to improve the look and find unknown damages.

While you’re at it, have AdelCo Home Services pressure wash other areas of your property. Your driveway, walkways, patio, and swimming pool can all be cleaned and inspected this fall.
