With time, even the best home décor fades – so much so that some areas may seem like eyesores! And you constantly ask yourself – do you simply accept the imperfections and call your home a lived-in space? Or do you repair and rejuvenate to bring back the pizzazz your home exuded. If budget were never a constraint, you would love to deck up your home and change your décor every now and then. But that is Utopia. In reality, the power (or the lack thereof) of pocket counts first and foremost. Then does this mean you would live on in a shabby place? Never! We bring you quirky ways to perk up your home without burning hole in your pocket.

Best Ways to Hide the Glitches in Your Home Décor!

Say, you have a wonderful looking bedroom, but the wall behind the bed got damaged, courtesy water leakage? Or the plastered layer of your designer ceiling suddenly gave away and created a visible hole in the middle of it? Well, these and other such issues are enough to destroy the visual appeal of your home. That’s why we have tried to help you out to hide these imperfections and make your home look perfect again.

1. The Uneven Layer of the Walls — We know it’s irritating to find that the walls in your home have become uneven or dented. But fret not! You can simply get rid of this problem by calling Better Plasterers for gib fixing of this wall. They’ll create a firm but perfect layer of plasterboard on the said imperfect wall and bring your entire wall to a proper level. They have got a fantastic history of managing more such tricky works through their expert gib stopping ventures since years.

2. The Ruined Wall Paint — It’s the most common eyesore in any home. You can simply hide these signs by covering the wall with lots of alluring artistic frames. Even placing your bookshelf in front of this wall hides it easily and your home looks fantastic again.

3. The Sneaking Cables and Wires — A common complaint of all homeowners! They tend to hate the sneaking wires of their computers and routers but don’t know how to hide them. Why don’t you try placing your useful items like a beautiful decorative box in front of it, or put your wedding photo frame as a cover-up? It will surely hide these naughty wires. Also, you can try panelling the wires with the help of a wooden board. (Just ensure to cover that wood with a laminate coating to make it look aesthetic.)

4. Hang Draperies — It’s a primitive hack, but curtains are actually great props for hiding things. (Practically speaking!) So, why not resort to them to hide the imperfections in the house like a broken window glass or a broken door of the cabinet or simply damaged paintwork on your accent wall! Just a nice, classy drape does magic in hiding your eyesores.

Don’t these tricks and tips bring a smile to your face? Now you can hide the visible problems in your home décor easily. But there are still some of them (like -- the AC vents, the electricity boards, and the worn-out shoe racks, etc.) that need camouflaging. How? Simply google DIY paint techniques – you shall get a plethora of ideas of various textures and designs, and you can play with colours to beautify your existing stuff to make them look like new (and bespoke too!). If you want to liven up your space further, there’s no room that can stay gloomy after you put a vase of fresh flowers and foliage in it. Now sit back and enjoy your happy space!
