As India confronts the spread of the novel coronavirus, nationwide lockdown has been announced and while people grapple with how to pay rent, what the future of transit will look like, and how the virus is impacting the housing market, people are also left with a more basic question: What can they do while they’re stuck at home?

Now is also not the time to flock to the stores for nonessential items, therefore some of the top builders in Hyderabad like Modi Builders, SSGreen, etc have gathered some tips to upgrade your space with things you already have at home.

Rearrange things for a fresh perspective

Try a new layout: It’s easy to get bored of the same old furniture setup but what if you tried something new? Interior experts from some top builders in Hyderabad suggest that sometimes the simplest things like rearranging furniture can change the whole look of the apartment. Moving the couch to a different location within the house, adjusting where your armchair’s placement or swapping rugs from one room to another can do the trick.

Restyle your bookshelves: If you are an avid reader, now is the perfect time to read a new book as well as tidy up your bookshelf. You can arrange them in alphabetical order or by theme.

Pay attention to your walls: According to a survey conducted by Modi Builders among their residential occupants, it was observed that not many people paid attention to their walls and less than half of them believed in updating their walls.

Touch up your paint: For those of you who have a few cans of paint tucked away in your homes, this may be the moment to pull them out of the shadows. You can design and make your own artistic masterpiece on the wall or just simply repaint them.

Take out your unused frames: If you’re not into painting, you could always find old photo frames lying around. Pick out some photos to put inside the frames and Voila! You’ve got yourself a very artsy wall. Interior experts at Modi Builders say that the overall look of the wall is enhanced significantly with photo frames.

Evaluate your lighting: Lighting is one of the most important elements in design, and  homes can go from stark and unwelcoming to cozy and warm just by swapping out a few bulbs. Did you know that even switching a lamp from a side table to another spot in your house could brighten up a space in new ways?

Other ways of increasing the space or lighting in your room is to place a mirror opposite to a light source, be it a window or the door to your balcony.

With these few tips, we hope that you find some productivity amidst your quarantine arid. Until then, stay safe, stay home and stay productive.
