Whether you are going to move out or you just need to redecorate a room, you might find some these following ideas quite useful in order to clean and create a refreshing atmosphere at your home.
A very simple way to make your place of relaxation even more pleasant is to bring more warmth in the atmosphere. Colours, such as yellow, orange and red are the perfect thing to go for in this particular case. They will charge you with bright, sunny mood and optimism.
If you want to feel more comfortable you can go for more soft fabrics. A fluffy blanket, curly carpet and decorative pillows – these small items will bring more comfort and cosiness to the room. You can use different colourful pillowcases with your favourite colours and put your favourite pillows in them. This way you can easily wash and change them, while in the same time keep the original colours of the pillows new-looking for longer.
If you are of the emotional kind and you appreciate the time spent with your loved ones, surround yourself with items that remind you of those moments and people. Beautiful picture frames, souvenirs and funny gifts is what you have to put around the room. The dust on them can be easily cleaned with a fluffy brush and a wet microfiber rag afterwards.
However, if you are not that sentimental of a person, keep in mind that these things are a bit retro. You can settle for a few pictures with more of a modern style or good photographs with interesting frames like a colourful frame and a black and white photograph. The effect is amazing and the dust can be easily cleaned with a piece of bread.
Go for out of the box furniture placement. You will be surprised how different a room can look by just moving a couple of big stuff around. Be adventurous – do not put everything in straight lines. Put the sofa on the diagonal for example.
In other words, let yourself free and do not be afraid to experiment with your home.
Regular moving of furniture will also prevent layering of dust under the sofa or bed. The walls will not get the marks of the furniture that has stayed there for decades; the carpet will be the same colour everywhere. It is not just for entertainment purpose – you preserve your furniture, floors and walls better by moving them around.
Another good thing to trust when moving furniture around is Feng Shui. Although you do not need to get in deep with the whole philosophy of it, the Feng Shui concept of Chi flow is a great way to optimize space in a room. Following its instructions you will find how spacious and big your room really is!
