Maintaining a home doesn't always need a huge renovation. Often, all you need to do is a little cleaning and organizing. Here are some common home mistakes and home improvement tips that you can apply:
Messy Entryway
Sometimes, due to busy schedule, it's common to just leave clutter on the floor or around the home. There could be empty boxes, empty wrappers, shoes or slippers scattered on the floor, mails, clips and pens that make your abode look like it's a jungle.
Solution: Always maintain the entryway free from clutter as it is the first area of your home that creates a lasting impression. Clean the area, put the things in its proper places and dust all the cabinets or items displayed in the entryway.
Bad Odor
Bad odor is common in homes. There's the smell of a cooking fish, chicken or anything that you bake that lingers in your whole house. However, no matter what you cook, it attaches to your fabrics including your sofas, rugs and even clothes. When you get used to it, you don't even notice them.
Solution: Open windows in your kitchen when cooking to let the bad odor out. You can also install a cheaper air freshener or light a scented candle that takes away the stink. For long-term solution, an outdoor-venting fan over the cooktop is a must, Style At Home recommends.
Charging Gadgets All Over the Place
Today one device is not enough for anyone. The outcome? Multiple devices are charged on different parts of the house, from mobile phones, to tablets, laptops and more.
Solution: You can hide all the messy wires and have a clean space by having a drawer converted into a charging station, She Knows reports.
