Interior Redesign can help reduce stress

It is often the little things that make a huge difference in our homes.
Recently we helped a client find her identity again. The house was in chaos, kid’s toys and stuff everywhere. It was time to take back her home.
Many homes have this same problem. Here is our 3 step plan:
1. Edit the kid’s toys. Honestly do they need every toy that is shown on TV? Kids out grow or don’t play with many of the toys. 3 Toy rule – that is the number allowed in the space at one time and at the end of the day the toys are put away in the toy chest or the designated area in your home.
2. Family photos on every flat surface, love them but even photos can be too much of a good thing. Take your favorites and create a gallery wall in your hallway. This way you can add new photo’s and still keep the favorites for ever. This is a great way to display the watercolor or artwork the kids bring home. They can hang their favorites and keep the display area current with new works.
3. Put something in the room just for you. This could be a favorite chair; a picture you enjoy looking at or as simple as placing a beautiful pillow on the sofa.
You can live an organized less stressful life. It is the little things that make a difference.
