5 Things to Do to Have a Home You Wouldn’t Want to Leave

Your home is the place where you should feel safe, relaxed, and where you can empty your mind and enjoy yourself the moment you come in.

Most people, however, haven’t made any changes to the place they live and have just done the standard things, such as getting nice furniture, keeping it clean, finding a place for everything, buying new stuff when necessary, etc.

But that doesn’t mean you’ll feel great there. Instead, here are some ideas on how to have your ideal home:

1. Let it reflect your personality.

What kind of a person are you? What are the things you’re passionate about? What color describes you best? Are you a creative?

Think about these and be honest with yourself.

Then look around and see what changes you can make to your place so that every corner can resonate with your way of thinking and your values.

2. Have fun with design.

Interior design doesn’t need to be boring. And just because you have a limited budget, or have already been living at the same place for years, doesn’t mean you can’t experiment and look at things from a different angle.

You can choose a different color for one of the rooms, replace something, add decoration here and there, move existing furniture, and more.

It’s a cool side project for the weekends.

3. Turn it into an entertainment center.

There’s another way to turn your place into a home you’d never want to leave, that will also make you be excited for coming back from work every evening. Such a lifestyle is much better than being bored 24/7 and never feeling comfortable regardless of where you are.

So, in this case, bring some entertainment to your home.

Get a TV lift cabinet such as the Atlantis or Le Blog Espresso, and turn your living room into a more luxurious area. Every time you pass it, you’ll feel good, and whenever you’re watching TV – be it alone, with a loved one, or with friends – you’ll have a sense of comfort like never before.

4. Get rid of what you can.

Most people live in clutter.

We possess too many things, there’s no space in our homes, we hold onto objects from the past, and we keep buying things we don’t need.

That makes your life complicated because you need to take care of each belonging, to fix it when necessary, to clean it often too. It doesn’t only take space in your home, but also in your mind. And thus the things we own become a burden.

To eliminate these negative emotions from your life, to feel freer and have a more spacious home, you should get rid of anything you’re not using.

A more minimalist place for living is always a good ideas for the mind and soul.

Start by going through your closet and carefully pick anything you haven’t worn or used in the past 6 months or so. Be ruthless and sell it or give it away.

Then, look around in every room. What furniture, design element, or else, can be removed?

Do the same with it. Or throw away whatever you can’t find a new owner for.

It’s not always easy to let go of these, but holding onto things from the past, or objects just because they’re modern or everyone else is having them, is harder.

Choose less to have more and your home will turn into a better place to spend your time, without feeling overwhelmed.

5. Start an online business there.

If you have some free time on your hands, set aside a place at home where it will be just you, your focused mind and your laptop.

Start doing a research on the possible ways to make money online. Think about your skills, your passions and what people might be willing to pay for.

See what’s out there already. Read about successful online businesses and learn the basics of setting up an online store, blogging, running a home-based business, personal branding, finance, etc.

It’s not an obligation, just a side project.

If you pick a niche, have a profitable business idea, and are ready to put in the time and work, you can build something on your own from the comfort of your home.

These are just 5 great ways to feel fantastic at your homeplace. Any other ideas?
