Everyone knows the saying: “a cluttered house is a cluttered mind”… With our busy schedules, the never-ending to-do-lists and an ever growing feeling of fatigue seem to get the best of us. So taking the time to reorganise your house probably seems like the last thing you would want to do right now. This might result in an overly cluttered space, slowly but steadily only increasing previously mentioned feelings of fatigue. The problem though, is that not taking action leads to being trapped in a vicious circle of sorts. The longer you postpone certain simple household tasks, the more you’ll feel a general sense of dread when even thinking about starting to do some chores.
So instead of just cleaning up and organising, why not opt for a radical change? Redesigning your home might give you just the amount of inspiration you need!
Tired of looking at the same old furniture?
One of the things that seems to bother people most, is a feeling that we are living in a loop. Same work every day, same home every day, same routine, same people… You probably get the icture. In order to escape this loop, change is of the essence. Now some changes are a bit more difficult to achieve than other smaller changes. For example; you might dislike your current job. But changing jobs is simply not a very easy task. It forces you to start thinking about ‘heavy’ questions, like what you would want to do with your life. As mentioned earlier; these types of questions require a calm and stress-free mind in order to come up with a satisfying answer.
So instead of starting with the hard work, why not achieve some smaller results first? Decluttering and reorganising your home is an extremely useful and efficient tool to achieve some much needed tranquillity. It’s a straightforward task that might seem tedious at first, but once you start you definitely start feeling better along the way. It’s psychologically proven that decluttering creates spaces in your mind, space that you might want to use to dream up some big new ideas.
Hard work starts with inspiration
Every activity and goal has its roots in an idea, and ideas are formed by inspiration. If you’re not looking forward to do some work, start by imagining your dream home. How would you want it to look? Is there a specific style you always wanted to implement in your home, but never found the time for? Would you like to add some new and fresh elements? Once you form the idea, the inspiration that accompanies the idea will already have you on your feet. Inspiration is what drives us do to amazing things, so let go of any worries you might have and just go with the flow.
Home improvement is achievable for every budget
If you’re reading this and think that you won’t be able to do anything due to financial reasons, just remember that change doesn’t have to cost much. Every interior can be instantly transformed, even with very small additions. A few cushions, a vase from the thrift shop with fresh new flowers, or simply by repainting a wall or a table. Your wellbeing is directly connected to the way you think about possibilities versus impossibilities. So start thinking in possible options, instead of setbacks.
If you’re low on inspiration, there are tons of trends that you can look up. Take a look at this web shop for example, it offers endless options that fit into every imaginable interior. From large furniture pieces to small quirky accessories, that will brighten up every space. Start dreaming big and the rest will follow!
