Basic Room Improvement
We owe ourselves a shipshape room. So if you want to make order out of chaos and have an easier lifestyle, here are a few points for space improvement and an instant lifestyle-lift:
DESIGN YOUR SPACE
As we get older, we accumulate stuff from personal experiences and when there’s not much space to fill anymore, we find it difficult to breathe. Your space has to be your sanctuary or else, where would you go if you got nowhere to turn to? Create a home within your home. Your space is yours alone. It has to reflect your personal sense of taste. Celebrate your own individual style by designing it… all in the colors and stuff you want.
ORGANIZE YOUR STUFF
For many people, the idea of organizing is time consuming. There are dozens of ways available to get started but if you fear to make the first step, you’ll never have a large payoff later. Allot a day for going through your stuff so you can label those you will keep and can throw away. By the end of this, you can proceed tackling all your other room issues.
GIVE AWAY STUFF IN EXCESS OR PUT THEM IN A GARAGE SALE
Feng Shui believes that you must allocate space for new items to turn up in your life,
in other words, if you’re space equally looks like a junkyard, don’t expect for new items to come your way. Free some space, this will not only allow air to circulate in your room, but will let you achieve a personal oasis instantly. What you can do to the stuff you think do not perfectly fit your newly structured space is give them away. Or you can twist them to cash by putting them in a garage sale.
PERSONALIZE YOUR SPACE
Follow a theme for a more personal look of your space. Make up your mind; choose how you want your space to look like zone by zone. Personal favorite items are the key. Don’t just buy knick-knacks because they’re trendy or they’re out in the stores. Besides, you can even bring out grandma’s books or sweater jacket to put as accents in some of your room corners if you really want to save money. That little sentimental touch can fuel drama that only you can pull off.
LIST YOUR TASKS
A fabulous space is no use if it’s all glamour or personal art. You have to be able to work out a focal point in your space. The mood every time you enter your room must be similar to coming home with a ready bed to welcome you in. Another important factor? Having a sense of control that will help you solve your complicated, busy life. And how to have it? Post, if writing it down is not enough, a
task-list so you can set out on a competent everyday journey. Maximize your time and make your each morning and night count. Being warned that you have a list to do is not bad, not feeling responsible for it is. Change is effective when you apply it in all aspects of your life.
REGULARLY CLEAN YOUR ROOM
Once you diligently conform to this rule, you’re absolutely going to be one regular happy person.
INVITE FRIENDS OVER
Brag your space and influence them to rearrange their space as well. Teach them a thing about simple organizations and discuss with them other possible techniques for home design and changing lifestyle for the better. Friends come together because they are fueled by mutual passions, the next best thing after a makeover is to share with them what you have learned and how much are you willing to do after. This could trigger them to do the same and the seeds of your friendship may even grow a little healthier.
