Everyone has a different opinion about where to hang the most beautiful works of art. It can be a formal place like the living room for the whole family and guests to see. Or it can be the wall opposite the bed so you can look at the paintings every morning when you wake up. However, sometimes, you should also change the position of the paintings to create a new feeling.

In addition, if you have many small pictures hanging around your house, think about the idea of ​​​​collecting them all together. Then, you create a beautiful gallery in your house. Do not let any wall be empty or crowded with too many pictures.

2. Rearrange the decorations

If you open the cabinets in your house, you can find many interesting things that have been forgotten. You should choose the cups and souvenirs that are piled up to decorate the corners of the room, the large cabinets in the living room. Wedding gifts also deserve to be displayed in suitable places to remind the beautiful memories of the couple. Remember the basic principles such as: display items in odd numbers, use trays to collect small souvenirs.

3. Change the function of the rooms

This will take time and effort but you will benefit a lot. After a period of use, you will have inconveniences in living with the current room layout. If the living room is full of your baby's things, turn the rarely used study room into a playroom for the children. Or you can let both children sleep in one room so that the remaining room can be used for studying and playing. In addition, you should prioritize rooms with natural light for sleeping.

4. Clean up the bookshelf

Almost every family living room has a bookcase and decorative items. Changing them will change the room a lot. If you have a lot of books, arrange them by color. You can decorate with a few small details such as ceramics, minimalist paintings to create a resting place for the eyes.

5. Add greenery

The green color of natural plants will always help your eyes relax. Choose a few small pots of plants from the garden or balcony to put inside the house. You can arrange them in the corner of the room, on the bookshelf or in the kitchen. Remember to occasionally bring the plants outside to get sunlight.

6. Get rid of stuff

There are many expensive items that are not used much or become out of place with the new design. Don't hesitate to arrange them elsewhere, put them in storage or give them to someone who needs them. In design, there is a "Less is more" point of view: You use less but bring much more efficiency. A neat and airy house will help air and light circulate better.
