SMALL Changes, LOW Cost, BIG Impact

Is it same old, same old in your home? Are you fed up with the way your home looks and want to ring the changes for Autumn?

Here are my TOP 3 TIPS for SMALL CHANGES, LOW COST and BIG IMPACT in your home:

TIP 1: MOVE FURNITURE

We get up, go to work, come home and sit in our favourtie chair. We haven't moved the chair so what we see is the same today as it was yesterday.

Moving furniture around is always great for re-energising your home and you as an individual.

Not only does it give you a different perspective on life and what you see, when you sit back down in your favourite chair, but it also gives the room a lift.

When re-arranging furniture, try to create a social seating position of either a 'U' or an 'L'shape. This is a harmonious seating position that encourages conversation and interaction.

TIP 2: MOVE ACCESSORIES

The saying goes, "If you do the same thing, you'll get the same result." Likewise, if you look at the same thing in the same way each day then your brain loses interest.

Moving accessories around is a great way to change your view, re-active your brain and re-energise your home.

You could do something as simple as change the way you style your cushions on the sofa or re-organise a shelf so the items are displayed differently. Perhaps you'd prefer to move your pictures around in a room - in my lounge, I have picture hooks on a picture rail for precisely this reason.

TIP 3: ALTER LIGHTING

As winter draws in, the blankets come out and we huddle inside the depths of our homes, lighting plays an important part in keeping us feeling snug and warm.

This type of lighting is called 'mood', 'atmospheric' or 'ambient' lighting. It's purpose is to add a glow to the room that actually sends subliminal messages to the brain giving us a sense of cosiness and a feeling of being nurtured.

You can create this type of lighting with dimmer switches and 'soft glow' bulbs but, for me, it's all about candles. My fire hearth is full of varying sizes and styles of candles, all with the same colour scheme of red and cream. As Christmas draws nearer, more and more candles appear in my home until it sparkles and shines like Oxford Street.


Have fun, re-energise your home and look at the world a little differently tomorrow.
