Shower yourself with a treat! You don’t have to worry about the water pressure; a new super powerful shower head can make your shower feel like the tropical rainstorm you’ve see in those shampoo adverts. 2. Branch out! Houseplants are wonderful additions to any room and literally help us breathe a little easier. If you want some low maintenance options, go for a cactus if you always forget to water, a jade plant to pop in a particularly sunny spot or a peace lily for a space without much light. 3. Shuffle things around! Simply rearranging the furniture, or at least some of it, can make a room feel brand new and exciting. 4. Light things up! You don’t need an electrician on board, you can simply invest in some different styles of lamp to literally brighten the place up. A clip-on desk lamp is easy to install and doesn’t have to be for the office; it be popped on the headboard for night-time reading or clipped somewhere in the kitchen for some extra light when you’re cooking. A quirky floor lamp can light up a dark corner of the room as well as adding an eye-catching detail to the room. Try this one from IKEA: 5. Look up! Painting the ceiling can add so much more to a room than you might think. Make the statement you want to make – a darker colour will make the room cosier, and a lighter colour will reflect the sun and make the room seem bigger and brighter.
