ANN/THE STAR – At one point you may decide to take the plunge, clear the slate and start fresh, or perhaps you just want to refresh certain areas of your home.
Regardless of your desire, certain rooms and key target areas may serve as a great place to start. The springboard to success may lie in planning, deciding what stays and what goes, and creating a targetted and focussed list of must-haves. Here are some tips to help you
1. Purge
Begin by donating items you no longer need or want.
2. Make a list
The list should contain items you want to keep and those you want to swap out or replace for refreshed items.
3. Re-purpose
Look for ways to re-purpose items when possible, as opposed to trashing or tossing.
4. Bring in the outdoors
Consider ways to bring the outdoors in to bring a sense of freshness and renewal into a space.
5. Organise
For many, organisation is the key to a successful home. Kitchens and bathrooms are great places to implement the ideal of sense of order and organisation.
