Sapana Jain, Founder and Principal Designer, I heart homez, shares quick five tips to give your home a makeover

• Change the colors of doors and door frames to pop colors like blue and yellow instead of pale whites or wooden finishes as observed in most houses. This gives a refreshing vibe to your home even before someone enters.
• Quirky storage that makes storing things fun, like trunks and ladder shelves. I personally have lots of collectibles that I mostly just hang on the walls but adding shelves helped me set a decorative tune and store my collectibles in a fashionable manner.

Tables are a crucial and essential part of every house. Arranging the display settings on them in a different manner can add to the functionality of a living space. Taking a small metal tray or wooden trays and adding planters or small decorative items which set a warm and welcoming vibe is decorative and functional.

• Lights with different designs, shapes and sizes can steal the show. Switching up with the materials in lights is my idea of fun, metal lights being my personal favorite as they set into any vibe, be it vintage or modern. To add a quirky touch, all you have to do is add some color.

• Mirrors can give an extra edge and also be used as wall accessories. They help elongate the space. The mirror itself can be a simple vintage mirror, metal or teak-framed, the variations are many. Add some buzz and play with materials based around the mirror and it will act as a glamourous accessory!

These are some of my favorite tips that steal the spotlight and, I hope, are of use to the reader.
