Understanding your home and how you can take care of it is important. Think of your first home as your first love, it deserves attention, care and romance. Naturally, if you are dealing with a busy schedule, life can feel quite chaotic, which can often reflect onto your home. Dishes might begin to pile up, you might be storing items which no longer benefit you or you might be throwing clothing items into the closet, in hopes of never having to deal with it again.
I recently stumbled upon a fantastic book called ‘Made For Living’ by California-based interior designer Amber Lewis, where she notes: ‘Less is more people!’ something we all need to hear once in a while. In this instance, Amber looks at the way furniture is used in different areas of a home. In her book, she highlights the importance of storage and says ‘it’s non-negotiable,’ if you are not willing to let go of things. ‘Declutter by storing extra blankets in baskets, stacking books neatly on the coffee table, or displaying knicknacks on shelves,’ Amber adds.
