We've all spent way too much time in our homes over the past year. Obviously, it's for the greater good — but no one would blame you if you're tired of the daily commute from bed to desk and back (not counting the occasional foray into the kitchen).
And to make your familiar environment “sparkle” with new colors, we have collected the top 15 things that can make your home more positive in 2021.
15. New bedding
This small and inexpensive upgrade can make your stay in bed a little more enjoyable, especially if the bed linen set is made of a material that is pleasant to the body, for example:
- ranforsa,
- poplin,
- satin,
- mako-satin,
- percale,
- flannels,
- bamboo,
- silks.
14. Folding ping pong table
It won't take up much space and will allow you to have fun together.
13. New picture
Even the smallest room has room for a beautiful painting. It will transform the interior and, in addition, it is easier to clean dust from it than from a carpet.
12. Silk slippers
They look expensive and beautiful, and feel nice on your feet. To complete the picture, we recommend adding a silk robe in an oriental style.
11. Toilet paper holder
Gone are the days when all toilet paper holders looked like twin brothers.
Now creative manufacturers produce such items in the form of animals, funny figures and even miniature knights. And some holders are even equipped with a shelf for a smartphone, so that when in the toilet, you are not distracted from watching mobile content and have a place to put the device to free your hands.
10. A good office chair
This is one of the things you shouldn't skimp on if you spend a lot of time at the computer. The author of the article knows what he's talking about, a new orthopedic chair with lumbar support is something that will definitely bring positive emotions into your life!
9. New lamps
Any interior designer will tell you that lighting has a huge impact on your mood, both for the better and for the worse. It’s especially important to maintain optimal lighting in your space during the winter months when there’s little natural light.
Opt for warm white (dining room and living room) or natural white (kitchen and bathroom).
And consider using electronic candles when you want to relax with a book or meditate. Candles create a cozy, safe feeling that promotes a happier mood. And electronic candles are also safer and brighter than their wax and paraffin counterparts.
8. Succulents
Do you like flowers? And how to care for them? If the answer to the first question is yes, and to the second - no, then your ideal pet will be succulents. These are plants that are pleasing to the eye and require minimal care. Cacti and aloe are some of the most famous succulents, but besides them, there are many others:
- handsome aeonium,
- lushly blooming graptopetalum,
- Echeveria with juicy green fleshy leaves and red-yellow flowers,
- argyroderma, which blooms with a bright flower of yellow, orange or pink color, and in its normal state resembles a large stone, etc.
And to make your new friend look especially advantageous in the interior, plant it in a glass vase. In this case, the transparent bottom should be covered with sand or lined with moss.
7. Robot vacuum cleaner
Dust and dirt clearly do not contribute to improving the atmosphere in the house. But thanks to progress, now it is not necessary to scrub the apartment yourself. Entrust this to a robot vacuum cleaner. Do not forget to sweep the dust off it!
6. Dishwasher
Wouldn't it make you happier to read a book, watch TV, or do something else interesting instead of washing dishes? After all, the most precious thing in the world is your free time.
5. Making the bed
Many parents demand their children to make their bed every day. And the children think: why do it if they have to go to bed again at night?
While it may seem like a waste of time, the simple act of making your bed can make you happier. A large-scale study of 68,000 people by Hunch.com found that “those who make their beds are more likely to enjoy their jobs, exercise regularly, and feel well-rested.”
An organized environment can have a positive impact on our mental state, and considering that making your bed only takes 30 seconds, it can provide a pleasant feeling of accomplishment at the very beginning of the day.
4. Fresh air and sunlight
Open your windows for 10-15 minutes every day to air out your home. Make sure your windows are not obstructed during the day, for example by heavy curtains. Daylight not only helps reduce stress and improves overall well-being, but also improves your mood by increasing serotonin levels.
3. Percussion massager
If your body is constantly tense as a string or you are actively involved in sports, relax tired muscles with the help of a newfangled percussion massager. It combines two techniques at once - tapping and deep impact on the muscles.
According to reviews from those who have tried the massager on themselves, it copes well with muscle pain in the neck and other parts of the body, fits comfortably in the hand and has several speeds for different muscle groups. This miracle machine costs from 2,500 to 25,000 rubles, depending on the capabilities, brand awareness and store markup.
2. Collage of family photos
Even the most gloomy and strict person has memorable photos that can evoke a nostalgic smile and pleasant memories. So why not place a collage of such photos in a prominent place so that when you look at it, you feel a little happier?
1. Pet
By taking an animal from a shelter, you will please two living creatures at once - yourself and your new pet. And if you have long planned to buy a purebred animal, then in 2021, allow yourself to make your dream come true. Of course, if your family does not mind.
