Making a few little tweaks here and there in the home can make all the difference to shaking off the winter gloom. It’s a DIY remedy to cheer ourselves up again. Modest changes can make a big difference, and best of all, can be done without the need for a builder or decorator.
Rearrange the furniture
Swapping the position of your armchair and three-seater sofa can breathe new life into your
living room. If it’s your bedroom that’s feeling samey, moving your bed to a different corner of the room can have just the same effect.
Don’t place tall furniture, like chests of drawers, up against windows. Blocking the light will only worsen your mood. It’s not just the end result that will bring a smile either. If you invite a friend over to help you (with a tea or coffee reward!) the time will pass a lot quicker.
Invest in stylish storage
Clutter can make us feel anxious and after Christmas there can be piles of gifts left around the house, waiting for new homes.
Creating an
under stairs storage cupboard can provide the perfect solution.
Once that door’s shut, you won’t need to dwell on the mess any longer! If you’ve already got a cupboard, then a storage wall can be just as handy. The exact design will depend on how much space you need but units with drawers and cupboards as opposed to just shelves will work best. The less your eye can see, the easier it will be to make gifts of different sizes work together in one space.
Buy a statement cushion
Easiest of all is buying a few statement pillow or pillow covers to transform your tired room. Opt for colours and fabrics that compliment your existing colour scheme and shy away from those that mirror it too closely. You won’t want your new acquisition to get swallowed up in the overall look.
