If you have been planning a total redecorating project for your house from sometime, then Ugadi is your perfect excuse to go ahead and do it. Novel home decorating ideas keep cropping up in our minds but we put them off thinking that it would be too much trouble. As the new year day for Karnataka and Andhra is just a couple of days away, isn't it just the right time to buy new furniture? Moreover, buying new things for yourself and your house is a also a part of Ugadi rituals.

Here are 7 simple tricks you can follow for redecorating your house at the start of the year.

7 Tips For Redecorating Home:

1. Other decorations are just for a day but the home decorating ideas for your furniture, curtains and wall paints will stay. These are things you will be investing in or a long time so choose cautiously.

2. As it is the new year for you, this is the most auspicious time to get your house painted. Painting walls is something to which we do not pay due attention. Peeling paint and dusty walls snatch away the beauty of your home. Also, the treacherous summers lie ahead. Will be such a bad idea to get your walls painted with cooling paints to keep the heat out?

3. Buying new electronic appliances is a big hassle these days. As we stay in apartments, there never seems to be enough space for anything be it a washing machine or a microwave. Now that you are redecorating the entire setup of your house it will be easier to make space for the new stuff.

4. Just because you are buying new furniture, are you supposed to throw out all your old furniture? That defeats our essentially Indian 'value for money' motto. The good news is that most of our old furniture is made of fine quality wood and that is really valuable. You can use the wood from your used furniture to design something that is more contemporary in style.

5. Curtains are the most affordable items in your 'change it' list. Thankfully they are also very effective in changing the look and feel of your house. Drapery ideas for summer should be very simple. Get some bright sunny shades and your home immediately starts looking more cheerful.

6. Your kitchen is the most scared place in your house after your pooja room. The festival of Ugadi should definitely touch it. The home decorating ideas you use should revamp your kitchen for the better. Do not go for looks; make it as user friendly as you can. For example, get a four burner stove instead of the 2.

7. All the good spirits will enter your house through the doorway so make sure you do not leave that shabby. Get your main door painted or polished. Get a new name plate or knocker.

These tips for redecorating your home touch the most vital aspects of your home so choose well.
