Many houses are affected with clutter that can be easily avoided. Homeowners should have a procedure to keep their houses organized and neat. Here are small efforts that we can do to ensure proper organization, balance and harmony in our house:
- Regular fresh coats of paint: Eventually our wall will get dirty and stained and it is important that we change the overall appearance of our house whenever possible. Our house won’t look good if we use the same paint for 10 years or longer. We should consider whether it’s a time to change the appearance of our house; not only just a fresh coat of paint, but also a different color. Colors that we choose should make us feel vibrant, happy, alive, calm and other emotions that we desire. We should also repaint our house when we are ready to sell our house. Because we don’t know about the preferences of potential buyers, we should use neutral colors like butter yellow, cappuccino, taupe and something similar. A nice coat of paint could bring a new freshness to our house. Repainting our house is an affordable task and we should be able to do it at anytime. This activity could also become a social relationship, if we are able to ask the help of friends and relatives.
- Change the lighting: If our house has boring track lighting and fluorescent lamps, it should be the time to make a big change with a small investment. We could gain more natural lighting with table lamps, floor lamps and pot lighting. A dimmer switch is also a good thing that we can add into each room. The intensity of the lighting can be changed based on our mood. So, if we want a candle-like illumination for a good night sleep, we could adjust the dimmer easily. There are attractive and affordable chandeliers that we can use for our house. They should be able to add some elegance to our house. When choosing proper lighting, we should be aware that symmetry is an important thing. Lamps should be placed and arranged properly to give us the right sense of balance.
- Cover the walls: In some house, walls lack any decoration and completely bare. In this case, we should consider adding personality and warmth to our house. However, we should add decorations sparingly to avoid making our room like a museum exhibition. There could be exotic, cultural mask collections that we can choose. We should check our shed for any decent artwork that has been gathering dust. A proper decoration should add colors and enjoyment to our room. A house should represent the personality of the owner and we could be quite creative about it.
