If you’re in the market for your first home in Vancouver, and you’re like the rest of us, it isn’t going to be perfect right off the bat. But adding your own touch to your living space is the fun part, anyway. Here are a few tips on how to bring modern style to a dated house. As for where you can find the cash to put these tips into action, take out a mortgage with Coast Capital Savings and you’ll get a $1,500 housewarming gift to use for whatever your heart desires. Mmm… décor shopping.
spruce up: Breathing new life into a space doesn’t have to be hard. Start with a fresh coat of paint (don’t forget to touch up scuffed baseboards). Buy bright, light drapes and hang them high above your windows and ensure all light bulbs are soft on the wattage and heavy on the ambiance. Small tweaks, big difference.
go green: Plants are key to making a space feel fresh and alive (plus they reduce airborne toxins and increase productivity, so what’s not to love?). Go for a snake plant for low-maintenance appeal, orchids for timeless elegance or a fiddle-leaf ficus tree for major dramatic flair.
set trends: Taxidermy, wall decals and Mason jar votives feel tired. Replace them with new points of interest, like these planters by local ceramic artist Lindsay Hampton, perfect for showing off your green thumb and sense of style simultaneously. (Check out Lindsay’s cool mugs, too). —Adrienne Matei
