Scattered socks, dust on cabinets, dirty dishes will never be an attribute of a cozy home. Do not neglect cleaning. This does not mean that you need to grab the buckets and a mop from the threshold and rush about the rooms, no. Try not to initially start the apartment to a deplorable state. Do a spring cleaning once a month and keep your house clean.
Without fanaticism, you do not need a sterile room.
Get rid of things you haven’t used for a long time. Do not litter the room with excess objects. Be ruthless and throw out all that is unnecessary without a shadow of doubt. Wonder later how much space will be freed up.
Wake the designer inside you
No matter how many sheds drive, it will not become a palace.Therefore, take care to make repairs. It is not necessary to hire expensive specialists, there is so much information on the design and decoration on the Internet that you can think through the interior and realize most of the ideas yourself. You will have to spend several free evenings for this. Wander around themed sites or blogs, decide on the color scheme and style. Take your time, think through everything to the smallest detail. Draw a design project.
Do not save on materials. Try to choose not only in appearance, but also to the touch. Give preference to natural materials. They, of course, need a more reverent care, but you must agree: it is much more pleasant to walk along the soft cork floor than along the slippery linoleum.
Turn on the light
One chandelier in the center of the room is not enough! Do not forget about additional light sources: floor lamps, table lamps, spotlights or highlighting of individual areas. Make multi-level lighting with different scenarios. Dimmed light by the sofa for an evening movie. Floor lamp by the chair to pass the time for your favorite book. Come up with lighting solutions for several leisure options.
Pay attention to colors
Colors create the mood of the whole interior.Use shades that blend together. Choose the best options will help the color wheel. It can be found on the Internet along with clear instructions for use.
Be careful with color experiments. Perhaps at the stage of the project to make an accent in the living room a bright red wall will seem like a great idea, but after a couple of months you will be ready to cover it with a proofreader, so that she stops cutting her eyes. Give preference to warm, calm shades..
Update furniture
A comfortable sofa, an easy chair, a bed with an orthopedic mattress are comfort companions.It is hard to feel rested when you wake up with back pain. A sweet evening with friends at the board games will be easily spoiled by a spring sticking out of the sofa, which constantly digs into its side. So do not spare money on furniture. This is not only a matter of convenience, but also of health.
Use smart storage systems
Even at the repair stage, take care of the cleanliness and neatness of the house, having thought out roomy and comfortable cabinets. Most often, housewives are uncomfortable in the kitchen, because on the countertops all the place combines, meat grinders, coffee makers that simply have nowhere to clean. And in the forced kitchen, I don’t want to cook again. Think in advance of multifunctional compartments, shelves, drawers. Make a sliding wardrobe to order, wisely use every centimeter of space. Choose a place in advance for the dressing area. This minimizes the appearance of clutter.
Add Textile
Let's talk about budget ways to create comfort.Add pillows, bedspreads, tablecloths. Hang curtains and tulle. In such details, warmth and serenity are felt. A soft blanket will not only warm in bad weather, but will soften the situation in the room.
Do not forget about aromas
The smell is the first thing you encounter when entering the apartment.Make sure that you are met with pleasant aromas, and not a mixture of dampness and stuffiness. Make small sachets - fabric bags with natural fillers. It can be dry flower petals, coffee, spices, herbs. Put them all over the house, leave one in the hallway. So from the threshold you will be enveloped in the enchanting smell of comfort.
Scented candles also work. Just do not take paraffin candles, they do more harm than good. Everything is simple: either natural wax, or better not. But in the kitchen, refrain from fragrant details. Let only the smell of fresh baking reigns there.
Tell your story
Surely in your life there were many unforgettable moments. Are there any memorable things of these days? Add them to the interior. Let travel souvenirs, memorable photos or gifts stand in plain sight. Spread your favorite books in the corners or on the coffee table. Let the house tell your story. Hang photos of relatives and loved ones, pictures - yes, anything! The main thing is that it brings joy.
Take care of landscaping
Indoor plants or compositions from fresh flowers will revive the interior.If botany is alien to you, then make it a rule to buy small bouquets. And in the summer months, many grow peonies, tulips, daisies in their summer cottages. Cut them and put them in a vase. A few daisies or irises will become a bright accent in the interior.
Take care of your home. He, as a living organism, requires attention and care. Take care of him, buy the best. And you yourself will not notice how you will rush home, as if on wings, because you created from it a great place to relax.
