You will not find many people who are happy to be surrounded with unkempt items. However, having a bunch of clutter or items that do not have a proper home is a fast-track way to stress and irritability.

First and foremost, your home should make you happy. However, many like their homes to reflect who they are (or who they want to be) and offer a glimpse or more of personality. If you have gotten rid of your clutter, the next best thing you can do is display the things that are not. Hanging art and photographs that you love on the walls, purposely dotted ornaments around the rooms, or even your favourite colours in throws, curtains and other accent pieces will all bring your home to life.

The garden is an extension of your home and definitely should not be forgotten. However, similarly to the inside, creating a clutter-free, clean and tidy environment will be one of the best upgrades you can give it, along with some thriving plant life. If you really want to push the boat out, consider a pond or a water feature for the ultimate garden paradise. Not only will this attract wildlife into your garden, but it can also offer you a relaxing place to reflect and take a moment’s rest while you enjoy the water.

Whatever you decide to do to upgrade your home, just be sure it makes you happy and comfortable. That is the main thing!
