Neutral walls provide the most decorating flexibility, as they allow you to quickly change up your accessories. If you have two small rooms adjacent to one another, painting them the same neutral color creates the illusion of a larger space. Before you embark on this project, make sure that you have the right tools ready. Aside from your painting supplies, don\u2019t forget&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gloves.com\/collections\/nitrile-gloves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">durable nitrile gloves<\/a>&nbsp;for painting. These protect your hands from getting splattered with hard-to-remove paint. Because if you get paint on your skin, you would have to scrub roughly, which would hurt the upper layer of the skin and potentially lead to an infection. You can dispose of the gloves right after a painting session or reuse them as long as they hold up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.valsparpaint.co.uk\/colours\/pre-selected-colours\/whites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/valspar-paint-for-a-new-look-1024x512.jpeg\" alt=\"how to make an old house look new Valspar's White Paints Collection\" class=\"wp-image-57167\" style=\"width:710px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/valspar-paint-for-a-new-look-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/valspar-paint-for-a-new-look-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/valspar-paint-for-a-new-look-768x384.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/valspar-paint-for-a-new-look-1536x768.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/valspar-paint-for-a-new-look-2048x1024.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Valspar&#8217;s White Paints Collection<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4: While you\u2019re at it, PAINT your CABINETS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your kitchen is looking drab and dull, rinse the paintbrushes you used for the walls and get to work on the cabinets. Choose a color that gives the \u201cvibe\u201d you want your kitchen to have. Go with white paint for a clean, minimal design that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/kitchen\/small\/make-a-small-kitchen-look-larger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">will make your kitchen look bigger<\/a>, or choose something vibrant and bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5: Get creative with TILES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DIY movement has created a lot of fun trends that give design elements multiple purposes. You can use them normally and just update the flooring in your bathroom, or you can make it your own. Try using tile to update outdated countertops and the backsplash in your kitchen. From simple and elegant to geometric and vibrant, there are all kinds of fun design options that can help make an old house look new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-more-to-love\"><strong><em>More to Love:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/2021\/07\/03\/15-of-the-best-luxury-bedding-set-brands-to-indulge-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15 OF THE BEST LUXURY BEDDING SET BRANDS TO INDULGE IN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6: Install FLOATING SHELVES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Floating shelves are increasingly popular these days, as they can be used as additional storage space or to display decor.

It\u2019s also a relatively inexpensive option. Over the years, your home\u2019s electrical outlets have aged with it. As a result, they may appear ancient and yellowed or may be broken or painted over. This simple modification will help brighten up a dreary home and give it a new feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8: Upgrade your LIGHTING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional lighting will literally and figuratively brighten up your space! Choose table and floor lamps for the living room, and refresh your bedroom with some trendy new sconces. Lighting is an excellent method to liven up all areas of your home. In fact, replacing bright white lighting with softer shades like blue lighting can actually make the room more relaxing and creates a whole new ambiance. KOKET has amazing chandeliers to brighten and dress up any room in your home. This is one of our favorite ways to make an old house look new!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/index\/product\/?id=151&amp;product=gia-chandelier&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=old_home_new&amp;utm_content=gia_chandelier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/caprichosa-sofa-besame-chair-gia-chandelier-koket-projects-2.jpg\" alt=\"how to make an old house feel new gia pendants chandelier\" class=\"wp-image-54164\" style=\"width:710px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/caprichosa-sofa-besame-chair-gia-chandelier-koket-projects-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/caprichosa-sofa-besame-chair-gia-chandelier-koket-projects-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/caprichosa-sofa-besame-chair-gia-chandelier-koket-projects-2-768x465.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>KOKET&#8217;s Gia Chandelier<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9: Modernize your WINDOWS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re still using the original curtains, now is the time to replace them &#8211; nothing is more indicative of a home&#8217;s age than worn-out curtains! You may also want to consider changing the curtain rods if they are also out of date, and keeping them clean with solutions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ionicsystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ionic Systems<\/a> will also help them look fresh and modern. Avoid things such as blackout curtains that are designed to hide them rather than enhance them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10: Refurbished FLOORING gives a renewed look<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your home is carpeted throughout, you&#8217;ll want to tidy it up by replacing it or having it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calibrecleaning.com.au\/newcastle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professionally cleaned<\/a>. Or, you could rip them up altogether and utilize the wood floors underneath them. Not all homes have wood floors under their carpet, so consider yourself lucky if you do! If you already have wood floors or are sticking with the carpet, always utilize an area rug &#8211; be sure it\u2019s clean or replace it with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>11: Utilize WALL ART as decor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you already incorporate art into your home, you may want to update them to be more cohesive to the new look you\u2019re going for. To keep costs down, you can recycle current art and simply re-frame them or move them to a guest room. This is also a great way to support a local artist by purchasing their work. Not only will you have a beautiful, unique piece of art, but you&#8217;ll also have a new conversation starter when you have people over.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jimmiemartin.com\/wallpaper-panels\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jimmie-martin-wallpaper-for-a-new-look-1024x819.jpeg\" alt=\"how to make an old house look new Jimmie Martin Wallpapers graffiti\" class=\"wp-image-57169\" style=\"width:710px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jimmie-martin-wallpaper-for-a-new-look-1024x819.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jimmie-martin-wallpaper-for-a-new-look-300x240.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jimmie-martin-wallpaper-for-a-new-look-768x614.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jimmie-martin-wallpaper-for-a-new-look.jpeg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jimmie Martin&#8217;s Wallpapers<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>A Renewed Look Brings a Renewed Comfort<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the day, there are countless ways to make your old house look and feel new.
