If you are currently living in London or one of the other cities around the UK, you may be looking for a way to transform your urban space and create a safe haven for yourself and your family in the middle of the busy city. Then, here are some of the best ways to transform your small city home before the year is out.

Consider Landscape Gardening

If you are lucky enough to have a garden, you should consider landscaping this garden space as your end-of-year project. Many people ignore the needs of their garden area over those of their house, as this is where they spend the majority of their time. However, your garden can provide you with the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and to escape from the stresses of your day without once having to leave the city. Therefore, you should consider looking for the right equipment, such as grouting tools, to start your project in earnest.

Let in the Light

One of the major problems of city homes is that they are often overlooked, and the surrounding structures and houses can end up blocking out the light that enters your house, especially if your garden is relatively small. Then, you should consider finding ways to allow more light to enter your home. For instance, you should remove any furniture and trees from your windows and from outside your home, consider installing mirrors into your house and opt for skylights and lighter window frames to brighten up your home.

Focus on Its Exterior

Although you might not be able to do much about your home’s location, you can make your house look calming and peaceful by focusing your decorating and transformation projects on the exterior of your house. For instance, you might consider replacing worn, chipped and faded doors and window frames, and you might also decide to replace or fix any loose fencing surrounding your home. You could consider laying down a path to your front door and repainting the brickwork.

Brighten It Up

If you want to create a paradise at home for you and your family, you should consider finding ways to brighten it up and block out the outside world. For instance, you might consider bringing in houseplants to adorn your windowsills and tables, placing brightly patterned soft furnishings across your sofas and chairs and painting your walls with a fresh coat of paint.

Modernise the Space

To ensure that your house fits the urban aesthetic outside your front door, though, you should consider modernising your space. You can do this by opting for minimalism and by following the latest trends, by creating a lot of space, and by updating fixtures in your kitchen and bathroom, as well as small features such as doorknobs and handles. This will then bring your home into the 21^st century and ensure that the transition between the outside and the inside of your home is seamless.
