Removing harsh chemicals from your clean-up routine can make a world of difference when it comes to keeping your home feeling fresher for longer. Harsh aerosol sprays can actually be quite damaging to you and your family, and can easily be subbed out for kinder, lemon or vinegar-based natural homemade cleaning products.<\/a> The same goes for your floors and tiling too! Using a steam cleaner<\/a> is a superb natural alternative to cleaning with traditional carpet shampoos, especially for households that find themselves constantly battling allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Every home has its \u2018problem areas\u2019. You know, those spaces that just seem to attract clutter? They\u2019re most commonly known as coffee tables, kitchen benchtops, laundries, shared bathrooms and of course, kids bedrooms. The best way to handle these clutter-prone zones is simply to address the sources of clutter directly. If you\u2019re finding clothes strewn all over the place, maybe a well-placed laundry hamper or coat rack<\/a> is the answer. If there\u2019s always an excess of cups or plates on the coffee table, add some seating to your kitchen to encourage your household to take meals in this area instead. If you address clutter at its source, chances are high there\u2019ll be a lot less cleaning in your day-to-day life<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every beautiful house uses aromatics, but a home has its own scent profile. It\u2019s a specific smell that you can associate with winding down on a long day, and that your close friends and family associate with you. Have a bit of fun with mixing and matching candles, incense, and diffusers to find a combination of scents that may perfectly complement your home environment. You may find yourself using a specific scent for a specific room, or perhaps just sticking to a selection of similar scents. There\u2019s no incorrect process here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the past, a lot of interior designers were uncomfortable with the idea of open space in a home environment. Any \u2018blank\u2019 areas would need to be handled with great care, as an accent that\u2019s too large or too small may throw the entire room out of balance. Nowadays, however, with the rise of minimalism<\/a> and post-consumerism, empty space can be just as it is. A bright and airy house generally can\u2019t be too visually noisy anyway, so giving your living spaces a little sparsity may help your cause. If there are spaces that you do feel are painfully \u2018blank\u2019, consider introducing some small, flexible accents like a pouffe, some floor cushions, or some nesting tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One fantastic way to make the most of empty space is by filling it with some gorgeous greenery. Houseplants have been growing more popular over the past decade, with many garden stores and nurseries now propagating plants specifically for indoor environments. Get yourself some succulents for your window sills, some potted herbs for your kitchen bench, and some ferns and spider plants for your bathroom to easily add a pop of colour and vivacity to these spaces. It\u2019s also worth noting that the benefits of houseplants<\/a> don\u2019t just stop at colour. In fact, houseplants have been known to clear toxins from the air, as well as boosting the emotional health and wellbeing of the home\u2019s occupants. It\u2019s safe to say your little green babies will aid in keeping your home fresh, bright and inviting in an evergreen sense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can keep your home\u2019s atmosphere feeling light and natural<\/a> by subbing out any harsh or strong lighting with flexible, ambient alternatives. Tea lights or fairy lights can be a fantastic way to add a softer feel to any space within your home. If you\u2019re concerned about using candles, you can sub them out for dimmable smart lighting<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside this, it\u2019s good to maximise on your home\u2019s natural light availability by opting for sheer curtains in your living spaces. Leave the heavier curtains or blinds for your bedroom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, there are a few ways you can easily brighten up your living spaces. You may not use all the options laid out here, but as long as you\u2019ve found a few that work for you, you\u2019ll be sure to be on the right path to a naturally brighter home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our homes feel their best when they\u2019re open and airy, but it can be hard to make that feeling last long enough to really enjoy … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n2.
