4 Ways To Update Your Home!

Hey beaut's!

I've really been into decorating mine and my boyfriends house recently, freshening things up with a lick of paint and having a new bathroom put in have been the main things we've done but it got me thinking of how changing some simple things in your home can make a huge difference, so I thought I'd share them today! 

Add Some New Decor
A simple way to update your home is with some new decor or adding a new colour scheme with things like pillows and throws, it freshens things up and can give a whole new feel to your home! Even if you don't really want to splash out on anything new then have a little switch around of the decor you already have, maybe use something you had in your lounge and move it into your bedroom or vice-versa!  

A Lick Of Paint
A new paint job can drastically change the vibe of any room in your house, whether it means painting the entire room or just adding a new colour on one wall as a feature wall, it really makes a difference! We recently painted all the way from my downstairs entrance, up my stairs and onto my landing and I honestly cant believe how amazing it looks, I went for grey and it looks so fresh, clean and modern, I love it! 

New Flooring

Now onto flooring, obviously this can be a big job but new flooring can make a big in pact on how you home looks and feels, it really adds that wow factor and flooring just completes any room your decorating really doesn't it! I don't know about you but I love the look of Engineered Wood Flooring. Engineered wood flooring is a fantastic alternative to solid wood, it has the same high quality finish and beautiful look as solid wood, but is lower maintenance and more durable in the face of moisture or heat. Flooring 365 actually provide high quality engineered wood flooring to people in the UK, with so many different options to choose from at competitive prices, personally I'm swooning over their grey oak style, oh I can just imagine it in all it's glory with a fluffy white rug on top, lush! Engineered wood flooring is also a lot easier to keep clean and maintain, meaning its perfect if you have children or pets as you don't have the worry of staining, and any spillages whether its food or drink are so easy to completely clean up!

Adding Some Art
You honestly don't realise how popping some art or even a family photo on the wall can really switch things up in your home, it can turn that boring blank space on your wall into something quite magical! If you wanted to go the whole hog then a fancy feature wall would really make an in pact!

Are you thinking of giving your a home a little update? What are you wanting to change? I'd love to know!

Mini Primark Haul

Hey beaut's!

Last week I went to Norwich and I just had to pop into Primark and see what new bits they had, to be honest I didn't see a great deal that tickled my fancy, I think it's because it's that funny time of year where all the Spring stuff is coming in yet it's still freezing cold here in the UK, never the less I did pick a couple of things up so I thought I would share them with you all today!

The first thing I picked up was a Lace Up Front T-Shirt (£7.00) in a gorgeous berry red shade, I've been after one of these lace up tops for quite a while but never found one that fits me perfect until I tried this beauty on. What I like about this one in particular is that the fabric is really soft but really thick so it's great to wear right now with my little leather jacket!

Then I went and had a look at the shoes and my goodness it was sandal overload, I've honestly never seen so many sandals in one place in my entire life! I ended up going for these cute Diamante Floral Sandals in Black (£6.00), they had these in so many colours but hardly any of them had any size 3's left (I have tiny feet you see) so when I spotted the black pair in a size 3 I just had to nab them to put away for the Summer before they sold out.

Sticking with the Spring/Summer theme I picked up some new sunnies! You literally cant beat Primarks sunglasses, theres so many pairs too choose from and they are so cheap. I went for the pair Primark call the Retro Club master in Brown, I love the shape and style of these and my boyfriend said that he loved them when I tried them on, so for £2.00 they went straight into my basket he he.

Then I ventured upstairs to check out the home ware, I really wish Norwich had a bigger home ware section as I'm slightly obsessed with Primarks home ware. The first thing that caught my eye was one of their candles in French Vanilla (£2.50), this candle smells incredible and so strongly of vanilla, I love it! Also the square copper/rose gold glass jar the the candle comes in is stunning and I will be reusing it somehow on my dressing table, I'm thinking maybe for my eye makeup brushes!

Lastly I picked up this cute watermelon 'Life is Sweet' dome shaped cup with a straw (£3.00), I got this to encourage me to drink more water when I'm at the computer blogging away and it would be great for smoothies and milkshakes too.

Have you picked up any goodies from Primark recently beaut's? I'd love to know!
