Did You Know? refreshing seasonally

A few times a year I like to take inventory of the seasonal decor I have used in the past. If the door wreaths or welcome mats, the vase fill or the pillow covers are in need of a refresh, It’s a great opportunity to update your space without spending a lot of money. I always take a step back and look at my space with a new perspective. Sometimes we don’t see something because we have been ignoring it for too long! If a piece of artwork or an old blanket are no longer bringing joy, it’s probably time to update. These kind of minor changes can really refresh your space without breaking the bank. I will also move my art. Sometimes a painting in one room can take on a whole new look and feel in a different space with different lighting. I also rearrange the furniture for a better or different flow. Remember not to push everything up against the walls.. floating furniture can make the room look much larger. And lastly, when in doubt edit it out…. too much stuff can feel busy, cluttered, and overwhelming to the eye. This will result in a stressful reaction to your home rather than a calm sanctuary to enjoy being in. I recommend closed storage whenever possible. I usually do these seasonal updates whenever I do a good deep clean. Out with old, and in with the fresh!
