Being quarantined at home for weeks can be an unnerving experience. However, as the wise have always believed in transforming challenges into opportunities, you can adopt the same approach. Sure there are worries about the future, but why not set the negativities aside and start doing something positive. For example, the quarantine period can work as a good opportunity to spruce up your home. If you are thinking along the same lines, you can give your home a stylish makeover with these 5 easy tips.
Free up space: Quarantine period is a good time to spot things that you no longer need. In normal circumstances, we are often so busy that things just keep piling up in our homes. Now that you have time, take a look around to see if you can clear some of that junk. It could be old luggage bags, unused household appliances, electronic items, old furniture, cardboard boxes, etc. You can also take a look at your shelves and wardrobe to clear any junk that maybe there. The idea is to de-clutter and free-up space to make your home a lot more livable.
Rearrange your furniture: Buying new furniture may not be an option, but rearranging your existing furniture can work wonders. You can experiment with various layouts with your sofa set, bean bag, recliner, stools, chairs, bed, desks, side tables, dressers, etc. Try to visualize in your mind first before you actually start moving the stuff around.
Try new light effects: Just a change in color and tone of light can improve the overall ambiance of your home. How you place the lights is also important, so you can try some combinations to see which one works out the best. You can create your own lampshades using materials already available in your home.
Style up the walls: Staring at the same wall can be pretty boring, so why not spruce it up? If you already have things like photo frames and artworks on the wall, you can try rearranging these to create a better impact. If you have a blank wall, you can search your home for stuff that you can put up there.
Remove dirt and spots: We hardly notice it, but our homes are often filled with numerous spots and smudges. These can be found on the doors, knobs, switchboards, walls, appliances, wardrobe, furniture, shelves, etc. If you take time to clean this mess, your home will turn out to be spanking new.
You can also involve family members for the home makeover project. When you work as a team, the usually boring quarantine period can turn out to be an exciting experience for the entire family.
