Create some feature walls

Simple updates to your home, like painting, can actually be time-consuming, which is why a lot of us put it off! But with a bit of free time on your hands, you could get the rollers out and transform your rooms. Some of this year’s biggest paint colour trends include cool-toned navy, charcoal and grey as well as deep greens and clay colours. You could have fun painting a feature wall, or even created a panelled wall – a big home trend for 2020! Most of these materials will still be available for delivery, helping you update your home in a simple, cost-effective way.

Frame some photos

Framing prints is another thing you can do to add some decor to your home, but it often gets forgotten about as another task you’ll ‘get around to’. Choose your favourite photos and prints, order some frames at Best4Frames and create a wall of all of your favourite photos. It will be nice to be able to look at memories of friends and family at this time.

Get your garden in order

We’ve had some great weather lately, which is probably making you want to sit outside and soak up the sun. But if your garden is looking a little overgrown and in need of TLC, then now is the time to do it. You can order different materials, tools and even garden furniture online ready to kit yourself out with everything you need! While you might not be heading to a beer garden for a while, at least you’ll be able to create your own at home.
