It\u2019s amazing how moving furniture around a room can elevate your mood. Pull armchairs closer to the fire, move art to a different wall, or use your creativity to re-purpose the whole space. You don\u2019t always need to purchase new furniture so apart from the thoughtful new layout, you can also feel good because you\u2019re not spending money!<\/p>\n
A Private Space<\/strong><\/p>\n Create a special place for yourself to unwind, read a book or just look out the window. A small desk in an alcove or a comfortable chair in a corner with good light are both ways to use furniture placement to create a small space to call your own.<\/p>\n Kid\u2019s Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n Children have been particularly affected by COVID19 losing one-on-one interactions with friends, family and teachers. To perk up your child (whatever their age) get them to help you declutter their space, add new paint and change out the bedding. Explain the benefits if teens push back against change.<\/p>\n Full Confinement<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have family or friends who have to be extra careful of their health? They may be stuck at home for months but there are ways to reach out. One example is to send them a framed photo to remind them they are in your thoughts. If you know their decorating style, purchase and ship them some pillows or a new throw.<\/p>\n Paint<\/strong><\/p>\n If your space doesn\u2019t allow you to move the furniture around, then paint a dramatic accent wall or the whole room. Paint can change the ambience entirely letting you imagine yourself in a different place! Local paint stores offer curbside delivery, some will deliver to your door and you can order paint swatches online.<\/p>\n Drapery Panels<\/strong><\/p>\n If you only have blinds on your windows, splurge for some beautiful drapery. This could be simple side panels blending into the walls, or choose a fabric with pattern and color. Add drama, keep out winter chills and create a sanctuary. \u00a0Draperies bring a room to life, completing your d\u00e9cor and adding style. Talk to your decorator<\/strong> about drapes for your home.<\/p>\n Art & Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n Purchasing a piece of art can be therapy in itself because you are naturally drawn to your own aesthetic. It could be a large piece for over a bed or sofa, or a small piece to sit on an office shelf. A large mirror is a cheerful piece that will reflect light, adding natural cheer. Buy new pillows for the sofa in cheery colors to suit the d\u00e9cor or for the coming holiday season. Talking of which\u2026<\/p>\n
