4 DIY Home makeovers to liven up your home

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Whether you’re looking to rent out or sell your home, or you’ve been planning to liven up your home while you were in lockdown, you don’t have to spend thousands on hiring professionals

Freshening up your home space has the ability to make your home feel differently, make it easier to interact with others, and improve the way you use your home

Do some gardening
When it comes to making our homes look more appealing, often we neglect our gardens. But doing some gardening can help add appeal to your home
Something as simple as placing a fresh layer of mulch on your garden beds can give your garden a more inviting look
Native plants will require less maintenance

Mix up your space
Moving accessories around or mixing them up can help to liven the space completely. By moving them around and reorganising your accessories, you can transform a room

Redesign your lighting
We rely on lighting to help us see in the dark, but the light you use can help to create a more welcoming and comfortable space.
Lighting has the power to completely transform a room. Consider changing up the bulbs in your table and floor lamps with varying styles or wattages. This will help you create an ambient space

Get painting
Painting your home is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways to transform your home. Whether you repaint your walls in the same colour or pick a new colour palette, painting will remove any signs of everyday living, wear and tear, and help liven up your home.
Often you can paint a whole room over the course of a weekend, making it one of the quickest DIYs too.

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
