2015 has turned its second page. With it, many of us are still formulating in their minds the goals and ambitions to accomplish along with the resolutions we promise to fulfill this year. Asking some homeowners around, a majority of them dream of having a new house. Yet, their financial restrictions still prevent them from doing so. But do you really need to have a new space for living? What if you just like to re-imagine your house? Here are some few tips that will help you style your old house anew this New Year.

Paint your house anew with the color of the year.

In one of the previous articles by this author, it has been mentioned that marsala was proclaimed as the Pantone color of the year for 2015. Why not influence the color of your house with its warmth and seductive yet subtle shade? It is ideal to make any surface alive and vivid too.

Goodbye large furniture, hello multi-purpose and space-saving ones.

Inspired by minimalist designs, multi-purpose and space-saving furniture pieces are now having its own market as demanded by homeowners like you. Say goodbye to large tables and chairs when you can have a sofa which can also function as table when needed. In home depots, you can now see a set which has a middle part that can be protruded upwards to serve as table. The remaining sides which are not raised will serve as chairs or seats. There are also sofa sets in which the actual cushions serve as separate seats. There are expandable tables whose sides can be folded and unfolded as needed.

If your house has a restricted space, then these new pieces of furniture can provide the new styling for the New Year home makeover you want.

Go greener.

You might have implemented things which made you go green last year. But hey, you should not stop from there. You can go greener in a lot of ways apart from maintaining your garden and lawn. For instance, investing in a rooftop solar panel might just be what you need to reduce your power consumption.

Replace old appliances.

Old appliances may be memorable, but they are now costly as many of them may not be compliant with energy efficiency rules in effect today. Grab the advantage offered by brand manufactures as they release more energy-efficient appliances each year. In fact, they are also applying new technologies as some of them can actually be run using the heat of the sun.

Living in a comfortable house doesn't mean that you have to move into a larger one, nor by one that is newly-constructed. Sometimes, it just takes some tweaks in the design and arrangement which may require a modest amount of your savings to implement.
