As the festive season brings in joy, these are five simple ways to beautify your home

The festive season is here. The weather is perfect to curl up at home with a book and a steaming cup of tea. But for that you need to have a beautiful home. No, we are not telling to spend a fortune for your home decor. So, here are five simple ways to beautify your home.

1. Clean your home: This is the fundamental and the easiest way to beautify your home. And remember it costs nothing. Moreover, while cleaning your home, make a fun activity with your family members.

2. Declutter: It's a liberating feeling to declutter your home. There are many things which just lie around your house without you ever using it. So, get into the mood of giving away things which you have not been using for some time. Like you feel lighter with loss of weight, your house will also feel the same.

3. Fresh paint: Nothing perks up a room like a fresh coat of paint. A fresh coat of paint will add brightness to your decor. Even if you can't paint the entire house, paint a wall in your living room or kitchen and see the difference. That's an easy way to add some drama to your decor.

4. Fix it: You know that drippy faucet, or broken doorknob? You'll feel better once it works again.

5. Touch of greenery: Having plants in your home gives a sense of life and vibrancy. Even if you are living in an apartment, turn your home into a green zone. And see how beautiful your home looks.
