The winter storm has already left its damage in certain cities across the United States. If you're stuck at home with nothing to do, here are some tips on how you can beat the boredom during this winter storm.
Being stuck at home during the cold, winter storm is probably the best time for you to focus on things that have been neglected during the past seasons. After all, you no longer have the excuse of not having the time to organize that pile of photos on your table and you already have a lot of time on your hands.
Houzz suggested several ways on how you can turn your boredom into something more productive. If you have a stack of photos, you can use this time to organize them into albums or use them to decorate your walls.
It may also be the perfect time to reminisce your childhood years, that time before the advent of the Internet, social media and smartphones, and say hello to your old board games.
Getting yourself locked up at home during the winter storm may also be the perfect time to read that book you got for yourself months ago or binge watch on your favorite series. To make it a more homey experience, read or watch over a cup of hot chocolate.
You may also do some DIY projects at home and de-clutter your closets when you have nothing else to do.
If this winter storm has made you feel gloomy inside because of the never-ending snow, DIY Network suggested ways in which you can brighten up your space during this season.
A simple change in the colors of your sofa or table covers and curtains can immediately change the tone of your home. Going for light or bright-colored fabric will help deflect light from your table to make your home look and feel brighter.
This may also be the best time for you to experiment on different light bulbs, as certain rooms call for a specific kind of light bulb. According to the publication, one room may call for a warm white bulb while another may need a cool white bulb.
