5 Simple Ways to Enjoy Your Home Right Now
Page Contents
1. Step one to enjoy your home right now is to clear some clutter!
Most of us probably have at least that one corner, right? It’s my catch-all corner and it seems like before I blink, it can get piled with items that need my attention.
When I start to get that “my house feels messy” feeling, I’ve learned to go clear out and clean up that corner as much as possible. It always motivates me to straighten up a few other areas as well. A little tidying goes a long way!
Tip: Have a designated spot for things to land that you need to take care of but can’t right at the moment. At least the clutter will be contained in one area and you can get it tackled ASAP!
2. Enjoy your home right now by giving your pillows a fluff!
Tip: Make it a routine to fluff up the sofa cushions in addition to the throw pillows. In addition, consider investing in down inserts for your pillow covers. They look so fresh with a little karate chop to the middle! Size up so that your pillow is nice and full too!
3. Add a fresh plant or vase of flowers!
But seriously, simply adding a fresh houseplant or vase of grocery store flowers to any room can help you truly enjoy your home right now. There is nothing quite like adding a pitcher of flowers to the kitchen island after giving the kitchen a good cleaning, right? Consequently, it’s the same for your entire house!
You can find some of my tips and tricks for making inexpensive grocery store flowers feel special over on THIS POST!
Tip: Keep a favorite pitcher, vase, or vessel on hand. I love to have a few that look pretty when they are empty but can easily hold some grocery store flowers or free branches from my yard too!
4. Enjoy your home by moving around a few small pieces!
These little things are what I do all the time to keep our home feeling fresh. Moreover, it helps me to be creative and what better place to express creativity than in your own home?!
Tip: Swap a small piece of furniture, such as a side table, stool, or accent chair with one in a different room! It will make each space feel different and fresh. If you don’t have time for moving any furniture, simply tweak your coffee table vignette with four easy steps. You can find my favorite coffee table tips and ideas HERE!
5. Light a candle!
Somehow, having my favorite candle filling our home with a calming scent just helped. Often, you’ll see cleaning tips end with the last step of lighting a candle. However, I say don’t wait. The reality is that you may not have time to clean right then but you still should be able to enjoy your home!
Tip: Keep a spare of your favorite candle on hand! I always ask for candles in my Christmas stocking and that keeps me stocked up for awhile. This is my favorite candle!
