How To Know When It’s Time to Redecorate

September 8, 2021  |  2021 Trends, accessories, atmosphere, decorating, organization

It's been said that "home is where the heart is", which is why redecorating and changing up your living space isn’t just about keeping up with the times – but experiencing the relaxing and therapeutic benefits that come with having a space that feels homey, comfortable, and sophisticated. Whether your rug’s pattern feels dated, your grandma's furniture feels funky, or your window treatments look dingy, it is hard to find our own design shortcomings. If you're not sure you're ready to move on, here are some quick signs that it is time to invest in a fresh look for your home. 

Your rooms are made up of “fast furniture”  

Just like fast fashion, fast furniture is furniture that is easily accessible, trendy at the time, but unfortunately not the best quality. While this furniture can be good for transitional parts of your life, like college, or apartment living, once you settle into a space it is best to acquire more permanent and focused furniture. 

You envy everyone else's home you enter  

If you are constantly finding things in other people's homes that make you want to change your space, or their homes bring you more joy than your own, it is probably time to redesign. Figure out what makes their homes so enviable, and then try to make a list of your top priorities in your own space to tackle.  

Your home makes you feel stressed  

Your home should make you feel relaxed and comfortable. If your home is making you feel on edge, or anxious, it may be time to redecorate or reorganize. When our homes are making us feel stressed, it may be because there’s too much clutter, so reorganizing the space can help.
