Most people are focusing on physically upgrading their space, but what's really important is to focus on improving the way you look at your space. What is essential is letting go of the guilt over home imperfections.
To help people learn to love their homes, here are things to quit feeling bad about.
Renting
While other people have white picket fences and walls to paint without asking permission, renters are still paying off checks every month and hoping that the flatscreens they mounted on their walls won't mean having to say goodbye to their deposits when they move out, that is if they ever move out. But instead of being envious of homeowners, renters should focus on all the perks, like having a landlord to manage all the maintenance.
Redecoration Still in Progress
Moving into a new apartment might mean discovering that all the furniture from the previous residence are a horrendous mismatch in the new home. In instances like these, own the mismatched items as they are.
DIYs and Hacks
Make the best of what can be afforded, and do not feel the need to apologize for it. They should be seen as badges of honor and not reasons to feel ashamed.
Dying House Plants
Having live flora in the house is divine, but this only works if the plants are kept alive.
A Visible Television
Televisions always feel out of place, but they're an inevitable part of life. There is no reason to feel guilty. Just accept it and be thankful that modern models are sleeker and less bulky than those of yesteryears.
A Bit of Dirt and Messiness
Homes get messy. It's an unavoidable byproduct of being in them. It is okay to run out of time to clean up. It happens. A little clutter does not make a person a slob. It just shows they are human.
