Painting a door frame or a window or a skirting board, it might be just going over an old color to make it all look fresh and jazzy, or you might go for another color, for example painting a window with a bright color.
8- Invest In Small Upgrades
If you do what to spend a bit, you can go for a new bundle of fresh towels, a couple of new scatter cushions or even buying cushion fillers to puff up since old cushions of course they become flat and sad, so add some fillers to plump them up to make them feel and look plusher and more buoyant.
