Tips to decorate a disorderly house
A disorderly home is not just messy in its looks but is also a huge source of stress. A cluttered and disorganized home cuts down on space and allows you to lose tracks of valuables, documents and other necessities. Follow the below steps to decorate a disorderly house.
Room color plays a key role in creating the right ambiance. You can either paint or paper the walls with pastel colors like white, yellow, gray and beige. You can pile the scattered books in similarly closed spines in stacks which can create different accent colored blocks all over the room.
You can paint the room and window trim with a whiter shade and arrange the room’s furniture in a symmetric manner which will give an uncluttered look. Place colorful waste baskets and recycling bins which will match the room decor.
Create a fresh, uncluttered work space by clearing off the work surfaces and hanging the papers and pictures on a cork-board wall. You can also tack a length of ribbon on the wall along and pinning the papers and artwork to the ribbon. Have brightly colored metal magnets which can be used to secure important reminders, little decorations and quotes. Small pottery bowls can be used to store scattered jewellery.
Items which are used frequently should be placed in decorative baskets and racks. The living room and bedroom blankets and bedding can be replaced with throws and pillows which will create accent for the room decor. Avoid leaving any objects scattered on the floor.
Get creative and make use of each room’s natural storage spaces like book shelves closets, cabinets and hearths. All these spaces can be used for storing bins and other objects required for the room. Objects here can be either stacked or placed symmetrically. You can also create a visual design by stacking the bins in the room.
However, cleaning a messy home is not quite easy and one needs to be motivated for this task. Music is a fantastic motivator as it can make your cleaning task more enjoyable. With no doubt, an MP3 player and a set of headphones are great accessories for many household chores. Not to forget, a positive upbeat playlist will help you energize yourself while doing household chores.
It is always better that you micro-manage your cleaning routine for a disorderly home. Although one might be a full time home maker, it is advisable that each family member has their set of chores.
Assigning household tasks to each members in your house will reduce the burden of cleaning a home alone substantially. A chore chart can make the household tasks simple.
Ensure that you split the cleaning task into sessions, as spending long hours in cleaning a home can be quite exhausting. Also switching tasks often will avoid boredom and will increase the feeling of accomplishment.
