How To Put Your Own Stamp On Your Interior Designs

Your home should showcase your personality and style. It’s often helpful to look at magazines for inspiration. But you should never choose trends, which don’t suit your individual tastes. If you’re planning a spring/summer makeover, here are some tips to help you put your stamp on your interior designs.

Jot down your ideas

Lightning bolts of inspiration can come to us at any time, and it’s a good idea to keep track of ideas and nuggets of creativity. Write down some ideas in a notebook and then create a mood board of all the accessories, colors and themes you like. Look through magazines and blogs to get suggestions, and make a list of stockists and designers.

Get personal

Personalization is a fantastic way to make your house a home and create unique design touches. Use framed posters and prints or create a statement wall with family photographs. Inject some personality to plain walls with customized wall stickers. Decorate sofas with initialed cushions and cozy blankets and throws.

The Home Maintenance Jobs We Love To Hate

Why is it things go wrong in the home when we’re just too busy to deal with it? One of the reasons for this is that we tend to put off those maintenance tasks we don’t like very much. We’ve always got something else we have to do! Of course, things eventually break down and we’re left with a huge repair bill. As much as we hate to give up quality time with our families, it is essential we devote some energy and attention to issues around the home.

Plumbing is one of those areas that we hate having to deal with. It’s stinky, dirty, and wet! But blocked drains and guttering can cause so many problems with the house. Damp and mold spores can begin to form. And that revolting aroma that emanates from the sink can’t be ignored forever. Often, all that is required is a cleaning solution flushed through the waste pipes. However, a blocked toilet can cause very serious problems.

If your toilet isn’t flushing through, you will have to stop using it until the system is cleared. You may need to call in the professionals. Having no toilet in the house can be more than a little inconvenient! Drain and Plumbing professionals can often get the blockage cleared, but it may cost you an excess on your insurance policy.

Sleep has been widely recognized as one of the most important aspects of health and well being. Good quality sleep has been shown to increase our alertness, improve our mood, and even keep our metabolism functioning. We are able to respond more quickly and creatively to problems and are less likely to be irritable. Good sleep can have a profound impact on the quality of our life, work, and relationships. Equally, poor quality sleep or a disturbed night’s sleep can affect us very negatively. While a few bad nights here and there are usually normal and easy to correct, we should be vigilant against chronic insomnia. Poor sleep can have a rapid effect on our ability to function. Our appetite can change and our moods can become unstable. We can find it impossible to concentrate and may even become tearful or anxious. Over time, we are far more vulnerable to conditions like depression.
