If there is one thing you have in common with most people on the planet right now, it’s that you’re probably spending way more time at home than you ever imagined. While some might enjoy the extra time around the house, others might be going a little stir-crazy. One way to spice up your daily life is to become your own interior designer. Here are a couple of ways you can freshen up your home without going anywhere:
- Rearrange the furniture- Now is a great time to take a step back and examine the different dynamics of each room in your home. Explore how the room functions and what can be done to increase functionality in daily life. Maybe there is a better location for large furniture items such as beds or couches that will allow more light. Get creative and don’t forget to clean behind or underneath items that have not been moved in a while.
- Create a window seat- If you are longing for the outside world chances are you’re spending a lot more time gazing out the window. Might as while take this opportunity to create a comfy look out spot while you reminisce about the pre COVID-19 world.
- Reorganize and declutter your storage- A great activity that can keep you and your family entertained for a while is organizing your basement, attic, garage, or any other room in your home that tends to accumulate. Nothing will make your home feel better than organizing the chaotic parts.
- New Plants- If you have access to a garden or hiking trail consider finding some new green friends you can pot and bring home. Taking care of a plant can give you a sense of purpose and bring some routine to your new at-home lifestyle.
- Clear your shelves- Shelves are often easy to ignore because they hold things that we don’t typically use every day. Take this opportunity to dust off your shelves and rearrange your books or other décor items. You’ll be surprised how different a room can look with this simple adjustment.
