“As in, so out” This is a well-known universal law that we tend to forget all too often. The more crowded, messy and dirty our house is, the more fatigue and lack of energy we will feel because the house is nothing more than a reflection of ourselves.
If you find yourself a bit depressed, scattered, tired, apathetic or if you simply want to make room for new projects and moods, I invite you to put your house in order to put your life in order.
10 Tips to make your home and your life shine
Decorating and renovating your home is not only creating a beautiful environment, but also a pleasant, functional and finally a way to arrange your life.
1. Evaluate the amount of light.
Light is life, energy and food. Gloomy houses do not like almost anyone. Be very careful if you like to walk around the house always in the dark, it can be a symptom of depression or neglect. It is essential that your house has light to breathe life.
It is also very important that the amount of light is adequate, an excess of light can harm your rest.
2. Order and cleanliness.
Dirt and disorder create chaos, dispersion and fatigue. If your house looks messy, dirty or crowded, you have no choice but to practice the law of detachment by throwing away or donating what is no longer useful to you.
Getting rid of what we don’t need is making room for new things and projects that are yet to come.
3. Ventilation
Houses need to breathe, especially when they feel very dense. Every day it is necessary to ventilate even a little so that the air is renewed.
Pleasant smells raise your vibration and improve your mood. Candles, incense, essential oils are ideal for setting your home, much better if you opt for natural products instead of chemicals.
4. Rest area.
Create a personalized environment in a place that invites rest and reconnection. Arrange a personal space where you can meditate, relax, read a book, or just rest. A rocking chair, a small lamp, a cushion and a blanket cannot be missing in this area.
5. Objects with a good vibe.
Throw away or donate those objects that you have associated with bad memories or that do not quite convince you. Also get rid of photos that make you sad or melancholy, opt for those that bring you good memories or you can also choose to remove them all.
Decorating with objects that give you good feelings is something very personal, only you know the things that motivate you and provide spark.
6. Make your bed every day.
Making the bed as soon as you get up is the click that makes you truly aware of when your day begins and ends. There are studies that say that people who make their bed regularly are more productive.
7. Have plants.
Plants are life and health. Incorporate plants according to the space in your house. If your house is large or you have a terrace, you can put more and larger plants. For small environments better smaller plants. Better if we opt for plants with rounded leaves because they soften the environment.
8. Combine colors.
The colors help to break with the routine and give a lot of play when it comes to creating environments. Use the cold range for bedrooms or rest areas and the more energetic ones for areas where there is more movement such as the dining room or children’s play areas.
9. Power off.
In your bedroom, avoid electrical devices such as a computer, TV, mobile phone and others because they emit waves that disturb your rest and can make you wake up the next day as if you had been beaten up.
Also take your books out of there, the bedroom is a rest area and has to be alien to any activity.
10. Minimalism
Less is a thousand times more. Those old and cluttered houses are not only out of date but also cause stress and stress. Having the essentials is essential to promote relaxation, especially when your house is very small.
If your house is very small, the order will make it look bigger. In small houses it is very important to bet on very functional furniture and have everything very well collected.
Remember that your house together with your body is the temple in which you live.
