Spring cleaning and changing your decor!

Spring is here and here! Even if we don't have the time to take full advantage of the sun's rays, the heat of the last few days leaves no doubt. The advantage with confinement (positive attitude) is that we have time for ourselves and our interior.

So what do you say to doing your spring cleaning and taking the opportunity to change your decor? Like any good person confined in lack of occupation, this is an opportunity for me (and certainly you too), to sort and tidy up my cupboards. It's crazy how much we accumulate! Spring cleaning is now... But what if we took the opportunity to update our interior and decor? Whether it involves rearranging rooms and trinkets or completely transforming your walls, changing your decor is an opportunity to create a personalized space that meets our need for cocooning. And to be honest, today I feel even more the need to make my interior a place that looks like me and in which I feel good. I don't think I'm the only one...

On the program, clean up your decor

If you're ready, let's go to change its decor! Don't panic, we have time to do things well, to reflect and to set up a universe that looks like us and in which we feel good.

First step:what is your decor today and what would you like to change?

The inventory seems obligatory. Not everything has to be thrown away and a simple change of furniture may be enough. So first thing what do you like about yourself and what would you like to change? Does the decoration that dresses your walls still suit you today? Could you push the walls to provide space and openness? I'm not necessarily talking about big jobs, but I'm thinking for example of small spaces that often need light and to be more spacious, in these cases trompe oeil are perfect decorative elements to transform a room.

Step two:what can you do today?

Well let it be said, with confinement not everything is possible. But in the current situation, what would be possible to do? What first elements could you put in place to bring your change of decoration closer to your desire? For example, consider removing an old tapestry, or changing the decor. Start making plans and use your creativity. DIY is our friend in these complicated times. Its advantage:it allows you to change your decor at a low price and make do with what you have! And icing on the cake, it's a great way to keep busy and change your mind.

Third step:get to work

Don't be afraid to get started. Changing the decor is simple and on top of that it gives you a good reason to want to stay inside. This spring cleaning in your decor is an opportunity to combine business with pleasure. We must take our troubles patiently and above all stay at home. It's a great opportunity to do everything you never have time to do (I've already told you about a "positive attitude", haven't I?).

Changing your decor:a good thing to feel good at home

To end this article, I would like to talk about “well-being at home”. We are bearing the brunt of the crisis and our interior is our refuge. The place where you feel safe. I think we can say that we have never seen so much interest in having an interior that reassures us, resembles us, soothes us. Refocusing on the fundamentals, which makes us feel good, is important. Changing your decor is the possibility of transforming your interior to feel good there. This is only a minor point, yet it seems essential to our daily lives these days!

We can never say it enough, take care of yourself and what makes your interior the place where you should be at your best right now.
