Mark & Day

Your house exists to serve as your personal fantasy world’s main labyrinth. From that smallest detail in your house organization like that tiny decorative piece sitting on your table to the largest furniture; it represents your overall personality and your daily mood. It’s not limited to only portraying your identity, it also affects your overall productivity and sense of well-being.              


But, we commonly invest all of our energy and interior design in the first weeks and days after moving into a new home. Although the start of things from a structural point of view has great importance, just as with everything in life, style changes with life's stream and the overall trend in the current. This is why refreshing your home is crucial to keep up with life's transition. That idea for most people comes as completely refreshing the area with brand new furniture, and expensive artwork and even completely reforming your windows and floors. Obviously, this isn't always the case to bring noticeable changes to your home space. As a matter of fact, altering the look and feel of your space is possible with just a few simple steps! Today I lay before you the 5 steps to refresh your space in your home and also provide organizing living room ideas. Keep scrolling!                                                              

1. Clean and Organize in Time

Cleaning is the number one habit you should indulge in to keep your home in perfect condition for many years to come. Additionally taking a deep clean and decluttering session will do wonders for your home's interior image. Nobody likes a dirty home or a chaotic feel but what is key here is to keep a consistent routine for this task. Take it to step by step and start decluttering your home and keep this work going. In time, you will realize that you have less to worry about when that one big cleaning season knocks on your door. You will definitely see the difference! At that time of the year, while everyone is running around sorting out and suffocating in their annual cleaning or decluttering, you will lay back, enjoy your refreshing space, and relax in an already organized and simplified home.

2. Replace Your Furniture

If you want to refresh your space you should take on this tip after you have decluttered your rooms and finished up cleaning. It might be the easiest way to completely change your house's mood by simply rearranging the current furniture you have. Take a step back and look at the room you want to change. Is everything placed the way you imagine is the best? How can you put energy into your living room organization’s soul? Replacing the furniture is simple and literally has no cost. Although I repeat how simple it is, keep in mind that it will still take your time and mental dedication. Because of that, it is ideal for separating a day simply for this task so you can take your time and give your best.

3. Renew Your Walls

When it comes to refreshing your space, walls with new wallpaper, artwork, mirror, or decoration will undoubtedly give the greatest upshot on the overall mood of the room. Plus, good news! You don't have to go under the hurdle of completely painting the walls. Nowadays, it's super easy to add a kick to your walls with removable wallpaper. There are tons of new lines at your disposal from trendy patterns to beautiful graphics. Additionally, you will need a slight effort since they are easy to install and you always have the option to remove or replace them later on if you change your mind or decide on something else.                                                

4. Light It Up!

You probably undervalue the lighting in your home as unimportant to some extent. Be sure that you are completely wrong and out of your mind! Lighting is the most important factor in home decor and you would be amazed how much a simple change in lighting can offer.

Always keep in mind to open up the blinds or shades to let the natural sunlight pour inside. If your room doesn’t have the blessing of natural lighting, place lamps in the room that are strong enough to replicate sunlight. A final tip is to use floor-length lamps or desk lamps to create softer visuals inside the room rather than overhead lighting which can be caustic and banal for some rooms but not for others.                                                                                         

5. Take the green, refresh your space!

Adding plants to your decor is a fantastic way to refresh your living spaces and enhance the indoor air quality of your home. You for sure know how plants are known to reduce toxins and allergens. There are also many different options for plants and the combinations are endless! Plus you can find many plants that are low maintenance which means you don’t need to become an expert at taking care of them.                                                                                                              

Embrace These Simple Changes and Reenergize Your Living Space

Refreshing your home doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task filled with major renovations and hefty expenses. By focusing on small, impactful changes like cleaning, rearranging furniture, updating your walls, improving your lighting, and incorporating greenery, you can breathe new life into your space. These steps not only rejuvenate your surroundings but also boost your mood, productivity, and overall well-being. So, take the time to refresh your space and enjoy the renewed energy it brings into your daily life. Your home is your sanctuary—make it a reflection of the vibrant, evolving life you lead.
