It’s this time of year when we realize just how quickly 2018 has gone, and just how quickly December can fly by if we’re not paying complete attention to it. Of course, the only thing to do when sand is falling through your fingers is to enjoy the texture, enjoy the beauty of it, and to be grateful for a chance to hold the sand in the first place. We can think that way about the speeding passage of time we all have to deal with during this period, even if it means hurriedly trying to organize everything perfectly before Christmas.
One of these organized efforts will likely be outfitting your home for the big day. It’s important to know just how to do this, and how a home can feel much more comfortable if you make simply style decisions. Some people feel that if they haven’t the perfect tree, the perfect decorations and the most excellent home layout that their home is insufficient for Christmas. Not so. With these simple tips, you’re sure to think more healthily about this wonderful time of year:
Furniture
It’s often the main implements that make the most difference and can help our house shine with joy. For that reason, it might be worth switching your old shabby furniture to more curated Corndell furniture, or bringing in your current items to a reupholstering service and designing a new aesthetic to be salvaged from the current item. If you have family coming to your place to celebrate Christmas, you might purchase those chairs you are usually missing out on now, or if you hope to refresh your entire home for 2019, you could do much worse than finding great deals on implements that last as long as furniture does.
A Resting Area
A place to rest, relax and enjoy Christmas is essential. Your living room will likely fulfill this function. But it can very much be that without good room organization and the floor layout offering you the most space, the room can feel stuffy and lethargic, or simply over-cluttered. It might be worth moving the coffee table to the side instead of the centre of the room, wall mounting the television, throwing out old unused furniture or simply carpeting the room to allow children to feel more comfortable to play on the floor, freeing up much more room on the sofas.
Bending The Rules
It might be that during this time of year, you decide to bend the rules. For a week or so you might apply plastic-ish coverings to your sofas and allow your dog to jump in your lap to be stroked. You might put that covering on the floor and allow your children to enjoy painting in the living room, despite the carpet. You might even allow small Christmas eve party snacks to be consumed in the living room while you all bond over a television program. It’s not hard to see how your family could bond, but only if you bend the rules a little for oa short period.
With these simple and humble home tips, transforming your house into a home for Christmas will be well-achieved.
