Fellow thirty and forty-somethings! This one is for you.
I know you're starting to find happiness and joy in the smallest of things - home life, nice food, maybe even a few plants. Well here are my 5 rules to live by to make sure JOY is the number one feeling around your home!
Rule 1. Paint your home how YOU want!
And don't care what other people think.
People think you should decorate to sell. Well, I say no to that! Paint your house how you want, with colours that make you feel good even on the gloomiest of days.
Rule 2. Buy the plants - even if you kill them
Fancy having a touch of boho in your home? Bring on the plant shelf! If you're scared you'll kill them, well so what - at least you tried! Nothing better than nature in our homes, kicking out all that oxygen.
Rule 3. Play with the sparkly things
Young enough to remember disco balls the first time around? Well in the interior world, they've made a comeback - and I tell you, even if it's just a tiny one in a sunny spot - it'll make you smile.
Rule 4. Make stuff
Get crafty, creative, and experiment. See something you like online and can't afford it? Try and make it. You can buy pottery sets, and make little plates and trinket bowls.
Rule 5. Light all the candles - even on a Monday
You know how rock 'n' roll you are! Don't save those candles for a special occasion. Light them, fill the room with delicious scents and their warm comforting glow.
Relish your home, even if it's small like mine!
Your home is your castle - no matter how big or small it is. It should be the place you come home to and you take a big deep breath. You know you're home, safe and can sleep in your own bed. People don't live in mansions - we live in terraced houses, studio apartments and rentals. Let's shout about how amazing they are!
