Fall in Love with Your Home Again

Love is in the air this Valentine’s season, and what better way to get in the holiday spirit during these winter months than by falling in love with your home all over again? The home is where most time is spent, and should be a cozy and relaxing space that makes you feel happy, calm, and inspired. If you’re feeling the winter blues or are just tired of coming home to the same old house every day, it might be time to shake things up in your abode! Here are a few simple and cheap ways that you can spruce up your space so that you’ll look forward to spending time there.

Rearrange Your Furniture

Most people are creatures of habit, but every once in a while change is healthy. Even making a small update to your furniture layout can impact how the entire space feels. Try moving your couch to a different wall, switching the placement of your chairs, or even just reorganizing the décor on your bookshelves. You’ll be surprised how much of a difference it can make!

Update Your Mantel Décor

Your mantel is one of the most visible spots in your home, so it’s a perfect place to focus your attention when you want to make a change. Start by clearing everything off your mantel, do a little dusting, and then think about what you want to add back in. Some ideas include incorporating a statement piece of art, a vase, or a collection of candles. You can also change things up seasonally, adding a garland of greenery in the winter or a bouquet of flowers in the spring.

Add Fresh Flowers and CandlesVase of flowers on kitchen table

Speaking of flowers and candles, they are each great ways to bring life and warmth to any room in your home. Fresh flowers can add color and fragrance to your space, while candles create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. You can choose flowers and candles that match the room, or mix and match different colors and scents for contrast and variety. This is another great opportunity to update colors and scents with the seasons. With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching and spring around the corner, floral scents and pale pinks are a perfect option.

Organize and Minimize

Clutter can make even the most beautiful home feel chaotic and uninviting. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the mess in your house, carve out some time to organize your space. Start by decluttering surfaces such as countertops, the coffee table, and nightstand. It might be worth investing in some storage baskets or bins to help keep your things organized and out of sight. The less visible clutter, the happier your space will feel.

Incorporate Color and TextureBright accent chairs and throw pillows to liven up living space

Colors and textures add depth and interest to a space. If your home feels a little bland, start small with pops of color. If you’re not sure where to start, think about a color that makes you happy. Incorporate throw pillows or a rug that pulls that hue into the room. To add depth through texture, try adding a chunky knit throw or a woven basket.
