Home Improvement Tips For a Happy Home

Home Improvement Tips For a Happy Home

We are all spending more and more time at home, and its important that we invest in ourselves and our space. If you're like me at all, this pandemic has been spent watching a lot of Netflix, so I rounded up a few home improvement tips based on my favourite Netflix shows. Check out these organization and design tips for a few of the most frequented spots in your home!

The Bedroom

Our bedrooms are our sanctuaries. Introduce calmness and happiness to your bedroom by decluttering and enhancing the design with these ideas. 

Organize: Follow the KonMari Method to tidy up your room! Ask yourself if every item has a place and discard if it does not spark joy. Take a moment to feel grateful for each item, and you will feel happier and lighter as a result.

Watch Marie Kondo on Netflix or contact me for a virtual KonMari coaching session.
Design: Natural light makes such a difference when it comes to your mood and health. Do not obstruct windows in your bedroom so you can enhance all the benefits of natural light. 

The homes on Grand Designs always take advantage of natural light. 

The Office
A lot of us have been working from home for quite some time now, and I find its helpful to give my work space a refresh every now and then. I like to utilize vertical space when organizing, and its also fun and easy to add new art to keep me in a good mood.

Organize: Hanging hooks, shelves, or pegboards expands your organization space and helps keep clutter off your desk. Less clutter will help you be more productive.

Design: Rotate out the art or decor around your work space. You can buy something new or just switch around the pieces you have in your house! Art in the home can help reduce stress and make you feel more positive.

The Bathroom
Lets be honest, everyone spends a good amount of time in the bathroom. Follow these tips inspired by The Home Edit and Selling Sunset for organizing and designing a bathroom you are happy to spend time in.

Organize: Streamline your everyday routine by creating systems in your bathroom. Group items by categories like makeup, dental hygiene, or showertime. Or if you share a bathroom, organize a station for you, your spouse, your kids, and any other family members like in my bathroom declutter!

Tune into Get Organized with The Home Edit to watch Clea and Joanna create organizing systems to your hearts content.

Design: Go for relaxation and spa-like qualities in your bathroom design. We are so often rushed in our everyday routines, our bathrooms should be a calm place to practice important self-care.

Aside from the drama, Selling Sunset features fabulous homes with luxurious bathrooms to inspire your own!
