Home is where we feel the safest, warmest and most comfortable. In a way, our house is a reflection of our inner world. This is why it is necessary to take good care of the space, interior design and ensure that there is no shabby home decoration space. After all, having a clean and orderly home is also a form of self-care. 

Here are some ways to make sure your home decoration shines.  

A clean and tidy place will automatically give you peace of mind, which is often a luxury in today's fast-paced life. 

Find items you haven't used in a while, and store them or donate them. Use storage racks, shelves, and cabinets to store the things you use frequently. If forgetting is something you want to avoid, labeling it will help.

Throwing unnecessary things into the trash can on a regular basis helps to keep the living space tidy. A basic item of this approach is a litter box with a lid, which has two compartments that can store two types of garbage.

Colors such as white, green, pink, purple, gray and yellow have been scientifically proven to have a soothing effect. These tones in your living space can work wonders, all you need is the right choice.

It is said that blue and purple can improve creativity and relieve stress. Therefore, the ideal color for your work and study walls and furniture is violet or blue. For the bedroom, gray with another cool color such as blue or green can provide a soothing effect.

Similarly, as we all know, yellow tones will bring a positive atmosphere to the living room. White can be used in spaces such as kitchens, where you need to have a clear understanding of things.

Perfume has the most effective effect on the brain. The best way to create an aromatic atmosphere in your home is to use aromatic plants.

Scented plants such as geranium, lavender, orchid, gardenia and indoor citrus can survive indoors and provide natural aroma solutions. The green plants themselves can increase the soothing effect.

However, plants are usually seasonal. If you are allergic to pollen, it is best to choose scented candles or scented oil lamps to achieve the effect. If it does not produce the expected results in the first attempt, don't worry. Try different aromas before choosing one.

The effect of physical activity on mood is well known. So, why not create a dedicated space for the same thing in your house? It will definitely help you stay motivated. You can add full-size mirrors on at least two sides of the walls of the room. Seeing your own reflection while exercising will help you improve your behavior and motivate you to do more.

Sleep is a natural pacifier. This is why the place where you sleep is an important maintenance space. A small bedside table or table is important for parking your night books before you fall asleep.

Add comfortable chairs and other furniture to allow you to take a break from the bed when you are insomnia, and add a good silk or wool carpet to create a comfortable feeling. More importantly, consider adding curtains to control the light entering the bedroom. At the same time, having a clear window can also increase your mood to see a clear sky at night.
