Curated Backdrops
With all the video calls we’ve been taking these days, it’s understandable that homeowners want a pleasing yet professional backdrop that showcases a bit of their personality. Whether you go for an art wall, vertical garden or library, we’re all for a nice feature spot you can enjoy even during your downtime. Bonus points if you can incorporate storage or shelving which adds functionality. For authenticity, you’d want to display items that feel true to you (i.e. skip the decorative books you’ve never read), and before pulling the trigger, be sure to consider the maintenance needed, whether that’s dusting or watering the plants, so that your showcase always gives off a favourable impression both on-and-off screen.
Little Luxuries
Now that our homes aren’t just rest stops anymore, having nice things to use and see on a daily basis can make life so much more cheerful and comfortable. If it’s within your means, treat yourself to good bedding and towels, get yourself fresh flowers every week, upgrade your TV and sound system and set your table with nice dining ware. Small boosts sprinkled throughout will make your dwelling feel like the best spot on Earth.
