Taste of Home
Day by day, night by night, sometimes I feel like nothing changes, life is tiring and monotonous. Maybe I am waiting for something or I stuck in routine, or there is not enough energy and I gave up to try. Very often Fall brings this mood. Anyway, it’s time to make a move, easy move, an action that is accessible to everyone, will not take a lot of time and will definitely have impactful outcomes!
I caught myself lately thinking that I want some changes,t maybe even the smallest things to start with. Yes, because that’s how everything starts - from the very small things, when you are opening the door!
I started to look around and saw my room with every little thing that I knew was standing on the same place for God knows how long. I felt like this is it, I found where I should start! My space reflects myself and my space influences me at the same time. You can spend time and efforts to convince yourself to feel better when you are sad inside or you can simply start smiling and you will feel better automatically because your body will influence your mood. The same here.
Problem: Need changes to feel better.
Solution: Small and simple changes in your house.
5 Simple tricks to add flavor to your house that will improve life:
1. Look at the Calendar
You can go for some decorative things related to the season or holidays. It is almost October, the month of Halloween and Thanksgiving. I’ve chosen different sized orange and white pumpkins, few cones, warm colored napkins and a cozy woven blanket.
2. Softness is relaxing.
Easy way to bring something new is to change fabrics, upholstery, pillows that will comfort you and reorganize the space. If you have a big window or a wide windowsill, put a cushion and few pillows around and you will have a nice new spot to use for reading, drawing and relaxing. Even looking outside the window will become entertaining!
3. Never too much.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that life is more beautiful and magical than the daily routine. I found that posters with positive and fun quotes can influence our mood and motivate us! Choose something that boosts your energy, print it, frame or buy the ready pieces.
4. Smell of Happiness.
We experience life by our 5 senses and our sense of smell is a very important one! Brighten it up with candles that have your favorite smell of fruits, candies or freshness. Whatever it is, it will bring the happiest memories immediately and will create the atmosphere of joy!
5. Plants are the best friends.
Don’t forget that we need oxygen to breath and that plants literally help us to breath! Take them home, take care of them and you will not only get a visual joy, but a nice and very loyal friend!
Very often the small things like these give the taste to our life and make our homes cozy!
