Change Your Furniture’s Place
Leaving the same furniture in the same place for a long time causes the routine to get heavier and heavier. But to change the design of a room, you need time. And that’s exactly what you have leftover during lockdown! Redefine your living room’s space, dining room, or children’s room, and you’ll see how your home-sweet-home will look like new, just with that simple change. It seems minimal, but the truth is that with a little touch, the improvement becomes excellent, and you can enjoy a renovated house without spending money.
Decorate the Dishes
I particularly don’t have a complete dinnerware collection. My plates, glasses, and cups are all different. If your situation is similar to mine, you should take advantage of this simple idea to decorate with permanent markers and enhance your kitchen’s various designs. Take a marker of the color you want, use many at once, and just let yourself go. Experiment with different forms and shapes for each dish, and you’ll see the boredom disappear as you renovate your kitchen.
