Valentine’s Day is coming up this weekend, and what a perfect opportunity to spread some love, and that includes showing love to your home. Here’s some easy ways to show your home a little love this month:
- Clean: give your home a good cleaning, top-to-bottom. It will feel really great when you’re finished to have a clean home to relax in.
- Declutter and organize: get rid of any excess clutter you have, and organize those hectic spots in your home. Even tackling one spot, such as your garage or basement, will make a huge difference.
- Add some plants: breathe some life into your home and bring some flowers or plants into your home (it also helps with indoor air quality).
- Brighten up a room: add a splash of colour into a room, or install some new lighting. Not only with these little changes brighten a room, you may notice an improvement on your mood when you’re in that room as well.
- Add some art: are your walls still sitting bare? Get some artwork up, something that inspires you.
- Give it a nice scent: adding scented candles to your home will lighten your mood, space and refresh the smell in your home.
- Entertain: have some pride in your home and let other see it too; invite over friends or family and enjoy being at home.
We’ve had moments when we’re so busy we’ve barely even been at home, let alone enjoyed it. So when we can we try to make a point of slowing down and just being at home. Drinking our coffee while sitting on the couch instead of multitasking. Taking the time to take a bath instead of checking our email again. Spending time with the family when everyone is home instead of just putting a video on. [Apartment Therapy]
