It’s very easy to fall in love with your home. After all, a surprising number of adults suffer from homesickness, especially when they venture out to university for the first time. People love their homes, and it’s where they can unwind and really feel like their truest selves. Of course, it’s also where our loved ones are, too.
However, every so often, people can briefly fall out of love with their home. It could also be that they’ve moved out and need to acquaint themselves with a new space. Still, it’s not impossible to reignite those lost and once treasured feelings about the home!
Consequently, here’re 3 ways to fall in love with your home.
Fill it with Memories –
We’ve all heard that common saying; home is where the heart is. Often, this saying is given life by placing pictures and photographs throughout the place. Perhaps they’re of your parents, siblings, favourite films, significant others, your own kids, or favoured travel destinations – in any event, these are all helpful reminders of what your life is made up of. Your home will keep it all safe and on display.
Ultimately, your home doesn’t need to be an assembly of furniture out of an IKEA catalogue alone. Fill it with you and your life. You’ve no doubt got many treasured memories that you’re desperate to hold on to, and with your home you can. Whether it’s in the living room, bedroom or dining room, hang up your photographs, pictures and posters proudly; you’ll love your home more if that’s where they’re all easily found.
Scents and Colours –
Of course, pictures and posters aren’t the only things that evoke memories; scents can too! Pick up some scented candles and place them strategically around your home. When you’re constantly inhaling a smell you absolutely adore, you’ll be happier and at ease. Everyone’s got a homely smell, so pick your own today from Neom Organics and enjoy those natural ingredients!
Additionally, colours go a long way here too, and the visuals are just another important sense you need to appease. There’s no one around to tell you what you can and can’t do with your walls (unless you’re renting), so don’t be afraid to splash out your favourite patterns and colours throughout the house. Aesthetics go a long way in calling a house home, so don’t miss out here!
Make Space –
Sometimes, the most effective way to love your home is to make it minimalistic. The less stuff there is clogging the place up, the less bother you’ll experience. You won’t be cleaning for long periods of time, you’ll have plenty of room to move around and breathe, and generally you’ll just have a more straightforward life. In the end, if your home is decluttered, there’s just less faff, it’s really that simple.
You’ll fall in love with your home when it’s clean, tidy, and not a source of stress. Take care not to drop things on the floor and leave them there for days. You can also clean any spillages you make straight away, and wash dishes at the earliest opportunity. When these things don’t build up overtime and amass into one huge time-consuming chore, your home will seem more appealing.
Love,
