Home Is Where
The Heart Is
Refreshing one’s home is
a great way of brightening
up the place that we are
most comfortable in.
Fireflyz shares some ideas
on quick ways to instantly
update your living space.
O
ur
home shouldbe
the reflectionofwho
we are andmirror our
personalities inone
way or another. Turning
ahouse into ahome ismucheasier these
dayswhenan interior designer is just one
appointment away. But before youmake
that appointment andget all workedup
about the limitedbudget that youhave,
wehave a fewsimple pointers toget you
startedon your homemakeover.
Vintage inspiredrugs
Youmay stick toplainwalls butmix things
upwithpatterns on your rugs.Geometric
designsmight do the trick.
Mirrors
Addingmirrors helps
to create the illusionof
more spacious areas
and they alsohelp to
redistribute the natural
light that is available to
various spaces,making
thewhole area feel
bigger andbrighter.
Greens
Add some greens to
your life. If youare one of
those peoplewhonever
seemtobe able to keep
plants alive for long,
pottedplants like ferns,
Chinese evergreens and
cactus are just perfect
as they requireminimal
care andnot toomuch
light.
Wall treatment
Invest inwall art and
decorations that truly
representwho youare as
the owner of thehouse.
It does not have tobe
expensive. You caneven
frame postcards and
posters that youhave
pickedup fromyour
travels. Anicely framed
picture or postcard
instantly transforms any
wall andadds individual-
ity.

day inbedand youdeserve toget a good
night sleepafter the longhours that are
put inatwork.Make sure your pillows are
comfortable andget bedsheets that are
