While living in a smaller home may sound simpler, it’s not always easy to decorate a more modest space effectively. Here are some decorating mistakes that you should make an active effort to avoid if you happen to be designing a small living space.

The Amount Of Furniture

Bidding farewell to furniture is tough when downsizing. Unfortunately, it’s a reality that one needs to accept when moving into a smaller space. This is because having too much furniture in your home can leave a lack of space and space to move and really stretch your legs.

Avoid Dark Colors

For a small room, painting the walls a dark color is not recommended. This is because it can look dramatic and actually make the room appear even smaller. Stick to lighter colors that will make the room feel airy and appear larger.

Still To A Singular Style

While some rooms can have walls and floors with different patterns, this would make a smaller room look a little too busy. Make sure to select a unitary color scheme for the walls and a single tile pattern for your floors. Doing so will also make it easier and quicker to design and decorate your home.

Mother’s Day is the time to show your mom how much you appreciate her. If there’s one fun way to pamper her and enjoy some quality time, then a relaxing brunch will certainly do the job. Here are some of the best brunch ideas to sweep your mom off her feet.

Breakfast Strata

Filled with asparagus, Dijon-spiked egg custard, spinach, mushrooms, and leeks, this is a scrumptious yet nutritious dish that will be sure to leave your mom and the rest of your family satisfied. In addition to hosting a variety of flavors, this exciting dish actually proves to be a simple recipe to follow.

Pickle Juice Bloody Mary

While there are plenty of scrumptious meals to dig into, preparing a tasty cocktail will take Mother’s Day brunch to another level. Why not prepare a Pickle Juice Bloody Mary, with its briny flavor that you’re unlikely to forget?

Ham and Egg Croissant Sandwiches

While croissants are certainly scrumptious on their own, you can make them the foundation of a filling breakfast sandwich which goes perfectly with breakfast, lunch, or brunch. What’s more, you can add the toppings of your mom’s choice to this meal to personalize it for her.

If you’re looking to breathe some new life into your home, then giving your garden a makeover can make all the difference. Here are some of the best plants that you can put in your garden to create a picturesque landscape to make your neighbors green with envy.

Creeping Thyme

With its striking purple leaves, the creeping thyme will immediately draw attention to your garden. What’s more, their low-growth profile will do well to cover the ground in your garden, making for a wholesome makeover from head to toe.

Coral Bells

From lime green to dark purple and shades of yellow and brown, coral bells will paint a multicolored mural across your yard. The large leaves of coral bells do well to fill out the borders of whatever bushes you have.

Periwinkle

With its dashing purple leaves, the periwinkle will surely light up your home. What’s particularly great about this plant is that it is fairly low maintenance, able to thrive in full sun or shade and even able to survive in dry soil if there has been a lack of rain. What’s more, because this is a slow-growing plant, you’ll be able to shape the periwinkle as it grows in order to fit your garden before it gets too much out of shape.

To get your skin in the best possible condition, you’ll need to not only develop an effective skincare routine but stick to it. Fortunately, dermatologists like Ashley Magovern, owner of Manhattan Dermatology have got you covered. Here are three simple steps from Ashley that you should implement in your daily skincare routine.

Cleanse

While it may seem obvious, cleansing your face in the morning is the first step in maintaining your skin. This is because you can’t put beauty products on dirty skin and expect the best results. Make sure to buy a skin cleanser that is suited to your skin type so that you don’t end up with any damage.

Treat

This is the point when you apply the treatment to your skin that will eliminate spots and dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin. Consider using a serum with Vitamin C as this helps to protect you against the sun.

Moisturize

Even after you’ve eliminated any flaws, keeping your face hydrated is key in order to protect it against further damage. Make sure to apply a moisturizer for your skin tone all year round.

Between work, kids, and of course, some free time in between, keeping your home clean can sometimes feel like an impossible task. Still, there are some easy ways to maintain your house with minimal hassle. Here are some easy cleaning tips to keep your home spotless.

Mop Hard Surfaces

As one of the largest parts of the home and certainly the most noticeable, it’s essential to keep the floor clean. Make sure to scrub your floors with a mop or floor wipes to ensure that they are clear of dirt and grime.

Vacuuming

Given how fast and easy it is, vacuuming is an effective way to keep your floors spotless. Still, your vacuum isn’t only for use there. You can also vacuum countertops, tables, wall skirting, and on top of wardrobes and other high places. Consider getting a vacuum that can be converted into a handheld version for extra mobility.

Change Your Bedding

One easy way to immediately feel fresh is by changing your bed sheets. Not only does this make your room look fresher, but it also helps your bed feel and smell fresh, making bedtime that much more luxurious.

Do you have guests coming over but not a lot of time to clean your entire house? Fortunately, you don’t have to. Here are some quick and easy ways to make your house appear cleaner even if you’re short on time.

Hide Clutter in Baskets

Whether it’s your kids’ toys scattered all over the floor or some dirty laundry that still hasn’t entered the washing machine, you can easily hide any objects from plain sight by hiding them in baskets.

Do a Quick Vacuum

Because floors are such a noticeable part of the house, it’s important to keep them spotless. Fortunately, this can be done quickly and efficiently using your vacuum cleaner.

Don’t Forget Odors

If your trash cans are somewhat full, emptying them will at least prevent any bad odors from coming through. You can also light some scented candles to give your home a lovely aroma.

Whether you’re hosting guests or simply enjoying some alone time, you’ll surely want to live in a warm and inviting home. If so, here are some simple mistakes you’ll want to avoid making with your house design.

Too Much Black

Often viewed as fashionable and elegant, black can also come off as gloomy and unwelcoming. While it’s permissible to use some black accents while decorating, make sure not to use too much black so that it dominates the space.

Not Mixing Materials

If you have a home where everything has silver finishing or one type of wood, this can come off looking old if not a little neglected. Make sure to mix materials up to keep things looking interesting.

Everything Is From One Store

Although buying a complete furniture set can seem like a logical way to save time and money, it can look generic, thereby emitting an impersonal feel. While it may be more tiring, going to different stores and mixing antique pieces with modern ones will give your home a little more personality.

Are you excited to host your friends and family for a dinner party over the festive season? If so, here are some mistakes to avoid so that you can make the best possible impression.

Don’t Forget to Set The Tone

As the host, the onus is on you to set the tone for the evening. From the moment your guests arrive, it’s important to create a welcoming atmosphere. This requires paying attention to your guests and ensuring that everyone is comfortable, meaning that you need to make sure not to get too stuck in the kitchen.

Don’t Procrastinate

From cooking to cleaning, setting the table, and buying drinks (perhaps even selecting music), there is plenty to do before you’re ready to host your dinner party. Don’t make the mistake of leaving things until the last minute.

Don’t Clean Up Too Soon

Make sure to only start cleaning up when your guests are gone. Not only is it good to spend time with them and keep them comfortable, but you’ll also be able to enjoy your party more that way.

Does your busy schedule sometimes make you feel stressed? If so, then meditation may be your ideal solution to improve your well-being. Here are the benefits that you may enjoy when bringing meditation into your lifestyle.

Improves Your Attention Span

Because you’re focusing on repeating a mantra or focusing on a specific thought, meditation actually helps you to concentrate. The more you meditate and focus on a central idea, the less you allow your mind to wander to nonconstructive thoughts.

May Reduce Memory Loss

Meditation can help to provide you with mental clarity, thereby enhancing your memory. According to research, different meditation styles have shown an ability to boost attention, memory, and mental quickness.

Improves Sleep

The more you meditate, the more you learn to dismiss troubling thoughts. By making your mind clearer and less active, you may just have an easier time sleeping.

Does your busy schedule sometimes make you feel stressed? If so, then meditation may be your ideal solution to improve your well-being. Here are the benefits that you may enjoy when bringing meditation into your lifestyle.

May Reduce Memory Loss

Meditation can help to provide you with mental clarity, thereby enhancing your memory. According to research, different meditation styles have shown an ability to boost attention, memory, and mental quickness.
