Ways To Fall Back In Love With Your Home
If you have ever been in a relationship, you understand that the ‘honeymoon phase’ does not last forever. The excitement and sparkle of anything new tends to fade over time, and your feelings towards your home are no exception. This is especially true if your home has not been well maintained over the years and things are fallings apart and/or outdated. But, with a few simple tips and tricks that we have listed below, you may just find yourself getting that sparkle back in your eye and falling back in love with your home!
Our first tip for you is to have some fun with interior design. Now we understand that the phrase ‘interior design’ can seem a little daunting for some people. And no, you do not have to have a college degree in the subject to dabble in the creative process. Simply finding the right accent pieces and changing things up a bit may be all you need to transform your space. You do not need to break the bank to accomplish this either, as few staple pieces in a few key rooms may do just the trick! You may be surprised just how fresh your home will feel by simply incorporating a few new design elements.
Our next suggestion is to do a little fall cleaning. There is nothing that will make your home feel cluttered than having too much ‘stuff’ around. Take a weekend to donate, recycle and/or throw out items that you no longer need, and spend some time organizing the items that you kept. Also, a deep cleaning never hurt anyone – whether you break out the Clorox and do it yourself or hire in a cleaning service. Regardless, your decluttered, clean home will make you look at your space in a whole new light. Lastly, decorating for the holidays will make your home feel festive and lift your spirits every time you walk through the door. Simply hanging a wreath on the front door, lighting scented candles and having a few decorations throughout your home is just enough to fall in love with your space once again.
