I know that it really hasn’t been that long since I shared this little space that’s in our dining/living room area, but this is an area in our home that I love to play around in and mix up the decor often and so I’m sharing it once again, but now with a new look
Do you have a place in your home that you love to change up often too?
I say this all of the time, and I will keep saying it because it’s something I feel strongly about. If you change your decor around often in your spaces, then it will add good energy and a sense of liveliness to your home.
When you leave your decor the same for too long it can get boring, dusty, and stale. You might live with a certain look for so long that it even becomes unnoticeable to you. But if you just move a few things around, all of a sudden that space feels different. It feels fresh and energy is flowing around it again.
These shelves are in an area that gets a lot of traffic in our home. This is also the view you see when you first enter our home. That is why I like to change this area up so often. I love to make it feel welcoming and inviting. This is also a great place to celebrate the changing seasons with different seasonal decor.
Now, I don’t change every thing every time I re-decorate. But I change enough that my displays take on a new look. And I also don’t go out and buy a bunch of new stuff. However, when I do, and mostly I buy my decor at yard sales, it ALWAYS inspires me to find a place for that new item in our home and give that space a fresh new look.
But for this display, nothing is new, I just searched around our home for items that I haven’t used in a while.
I changed out the artwork and brought in some picture frames with black and white pictures.
I switched around my plants and hung one from a large green hook, and lastly I move around some of the my white dishes. So again, I didn’t change a whole lot, but it does look quite different from the last time I shared it which I’ll share a picture of at the end of this post in case you are wondering.
I also gave this area a good wipe down and cleaned areas that hadn’t been dusted in a while. Because just cleaning up a space will make it feel so much better. Don’t you agree?
So what are your thoughts? Do you agree that changing your decor can change the energy in your home? If you don’t get what I’m saying then why not give it a try for yourself. Find a neglected area in your home, clean it, decorate it, hang new art, bring in plants, search your home for items you love and bring them into this space. And then see if the new look makes your home feel more fresh and alive.
So here is a picture of the space just a couple of months ago (seen here).
And again, here is the space today.
And in a couple of months I will change it up again. Guaranteed 🙂
