4 DIY Home makeovers to liven up your home
Whether you’re looking to rent out or sell your home, or you’ve been planning to liven up your home while you were in lockdown, you don’t have to spend thousands on hiring professionals
Freshening up your home space has the ability to make your home feel differently, make it easier to interact with others, and improve the way you use your home
Do some gardening
When it comes to making our homes look more appealing, often we neglect our gardens. But doing some gardening can help add appeal to your home
Something as simple as placing a fresh layer of mulch on your garden beds can give your garden a more inviting look
Native plants will require less maintenance
Mix up your space
Moving accessories around or mixing them up can help to liven the space completely. By moving them around and reorganising your accessories, you can transform a room
Redesign your lighting
We rely on lighting to help us see in the dark, but the light you use can help to create a more welcoming and comfortable space.
Lighting has the power to completely transform a room. Consider changing up the bulbs in your table and floor lamps with varying styles or wattages. This will help you create an ambient space
Get painting
Painting your home is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways to transform your home. Whether you repaint your walls in the same colour or pick a new colour palette, painting will remove any signs of everyday living, wear and tear, and help liven up your home.
Often you can paint a whole room over the course of a weekend, making it one of the quickest DIYs too.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
