Little Touches of You
We’re going to start by suggesting that you start adding little touches of yourself in to your space. Decorating is a great way of expressing yourself, but have you thought about adding more than just pretty cushions or artwork? Everywhere you look in your home you should see little pieces of yourself. Things that bring you a spark of joy, trigger a happy memory and let you dream of far of places and the travels you have been on.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find items for your home that scream ‘you’, but it is possible if you think about the items and things that you feel most connected to. You might find some of them in the most unlikely of places, but it doesn’t matter as long as you find them.
The goal is to ensure that everyone who comes into your home knows exactly who lives there. You want it to scream ‘you’. If you love plants consider creating a green oasis, or if you are a book lover find a cosy nook were you can create a mini library. Into beauty? Try updating you dressing area with professional makeup lights and elevate your space so you can feel more creative at home.
Photo Memories
Some people seem to think that putting photos up in the home is not a good idea because what if you have visitors or what if people you don’t know come into your home? Some of us worry about making it too personal, but how can a home be too personal? This is the space where you are supposed to feel most comfortable and happiest, and having memories of events, family, friends and pets is a great way to do this.
You can find inspiration for creative ways to display them on Pinterest or social media, or you can come up with your own ideas. A cool idea is a photo wall if you have a lot of pictures that you would like to see on a daily basis. Again, you can find some pretty cool ideas for this online to give you some help in how to get started.
The great thing about having these memories up is that you can relive them regularly. You don’t only have to see them when you’re scrolling through your photos on your phone, or when you are looking at a photo album. They are there, they are in your face, and they are reminding you of happy times and people you love.
A Kitchen You Love
Whether you rent or own your home, you need to work on creating a kitchen that you love. When you own the property this is a lot easier as you are not limited in what you can and cannot do. If you want to change the cupboard fronts? You can. If you want to change the flooring, you can. If you want to rip the whole thing out and get a new one, guess what? You can.
If you are renting your property then this might make it a little more difficult to get to where you want to be in terms of your kitchen. You can’t make any permanent changes, but perhaps you don’t need to. For example, if you want to change the countertops but you can’t, there are rolls of film that you can cover your counters in, and then you take this off when you move, like it was never there. Or try adding benchtop accessories, new tea towels and rugs or displaying your favorite flowers in bright vases. It’s the little things that will help you create the perfect space, without breaking any rules.
The final piece of advice that we have got for you is for those who love the gym. If you don’t have a lot of time, or you would rather work out in the comfort of your own home, why not create a little home gym space? You need things like home gym mats and certain pieces of equipment, but other than that you’re good to go. You just need a space in your home that can be used for this without all of the equipment being in the way.
It’s easier than you think to do this, and it’s more convenient for you when you’re working out. You don’t have to worry about missing gym sessions, and for a lot of people that makes it more comfortable.
