Our home is our sanctuary. A place of respite. To spend time alone or with loved ones. Above all else, it is a place to be enjoyed as much as possible and that won’t be possible if you are not comfortable in your surroundings. So you need to ensure your living environment is one that makes you happy from the moment you walk in the door to the second you step out again.
If you have a dark and gloomy space, or one with features that you seriously dislike, this is likely to affect your mood when at home. Given how much time we have all been spending in our houses of late too, this could be damaging on a fundamental level so it is important to get it right. Even small changes can give the place a warmer, more welcoming feel. You can consider adding some new touches to your lounge in the form of patterned cushions or brightly coloured throws, new bedding in your bedroom or even a quick lick of paint.
But there is something else you can change, one element of your home that is often overlooked – you can change your doors. This is something that can make a drastic difference to the whole look and feel of your space and thanks to online retailers such as Internal Doors UK, there is a huge choice available at an affordable cost.
We have selected our top three internal door types that will give the instant boost to your home that you desire. Take a look to find out what they are:
Internal glazed doors
Nothing will lift a home more than natural light so make yours glow by installing internal glazed doors. These don’t have to be the old-fashioned types of yester-year but can instead be ultra-modern and stylish to keep your place looking chic. They will allow whatever light coming through the windows to pass through the rooms and out into hallways and so on to give your home a much brighter appearance. This will help even on greyer days.
Bi-fold doors
Opening up rooms into each other to create an open-plan living environment will give your home a huge lift. They can not only lighten areas, it can also promote greater interactivity between the members of your household so the mood lifts too! Again, these come in a variety of styles and finishes to suit all different property types.
Coloured doors
Most internal doors are kept in neutral colours so they blend in with the other décor but why not consider adding a statement colour? This bold move will really serve to lift your home and given the amount of easy-to-paint affordable doors on offer, this will be a more straightforward project than you imagine.
When it comes to brightening up your home, don’t forget about the humble door. They really will have a greater impact than you realise, especially if you fit some of these options listed above!
