Summer is short
Summer is short and especially now, due to to these unprecedented times, we want to make the most of our long summer days.
Because we’ve all been inside our homes for the majority of the past couple months, a lot of people have realized it’s time to freshen up the decor.
Small changes can make a big difference.
Fresh flowers, new simple toss cushions or a new little rug could change the room instantly.
Even just a new lamps or chandelier with different color shades can redefine a room.
Enjoy the summer!

The New ‘Normal’ – Working From Home
Working from home has been a growing trend in the past years. But now, since this pandemic, people have been forced to work from home, creating an increase in the need for dedicated work spaces and home offices.
In order to promote productivity, a well designed home office should be situated away from other living areas; provide good flow; lighting; and be comfortable with a large working space.
Here are 5 things to consider when designing your home office space:
- LOCATION: Designate a room or private corner in your home to allow for you to work away from the hustle-and-bustle of busy home activities.
- DESK and CHAIR: Think about work flow. Having a desk with ample work surface and a great chair with ergonomically correct comfort seating, will allow you to work productively.
- LIGHTING: Making sure your home office has plenty of light helps to cut down on eye strain which can lead to exhaustion and headaches. A small desk lamp is great for task lighting.
- ORGANIZATION: Bookshelves and cabinets with drawers for hanging folders, will provide both vertical and horizontal organization solutions. This is especially useful in small spaces.
- STYLE: Adding personal touches such as wall art, homey accessories, and cherished photos are a great way to reflect your own personal style as well as keep you motivated, relaxed, and inspired.
Depending on our needs, a home office can be used for many hours each day if working from home, or just as a quite place to go thru correspondence and pay bills. Regardless, whether working from home is a temporary situation, or is now our ‘NEW NORMAL’, don’t we all deserve a home office that is both functional and beautiful??

How To Create A Bedroom Oasis
Typically speaking our bedroom should be the most comfortable room in our homes. Nothing feels better than, at the end of a busy day, getting to relax in our comfortable, cozy bedroom.
Here are a few ideas to help make your bedroom a comfy, cozy oasis:
Keep It Dark
Create the perfect mood to rest and slumber by painting your walls in a dark colour.
Warm Up Your Floors
Area rugs are a great way to introduce colour, texture, and warmth in your bedroom. Try layering multiple area rugs for added drama and warmth underfoot.
Pillow Talk
Layering neutral pillows and throws helps make your bed a place you want to snuggle into.
Bed Time
A headboard done up in warm natural wood or upholstered in a neutral fabric adds warmth and texture.
Tone Down The Lights
Chose soft lighting, or even better, use a dimmer to create the mood you want to achieve.
It seems like a small thing, but think about it, we spend a third of each day in our bedrooms.
So it’s definitely worth the time and effort to create the perfect oasis to start and end each day.

Ways to clean your furniture
Since we have been told by the government and health care professionals to stay home as much as possible, in order to flatten the curve, we all have extra time to clean our furniture.
After all, while it is easy to be overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and uncertainty , it’s important to remember :
OUR HOMES ARE ONE THING WE HAVE CONTROL OVER
Have a plan, remember you don’t have to clean all your furniture in one day. Consider taking on one room per day. This will give you the confidence that this is something you can take on during this period of chaos; and in doing so you’ll have clean furniture.
Here are some cleaning tips:
Wood furniture
- Never use glass cleaners, detergents, liquids or waxes on wood furniture.
- Clean with water and mild soap using a soft cloth followed by a dry cloth.
- Remove all spills immediately.
- Never place your furniture in direct sunlight for long periods of time .
Fabric
On upholstery furniture, remove seat and back cushions and vacuum regularly to remove dust particles.
Vacuum upholstered headboards as well.
Leather
Use a slightly dampened soft cloth or leather cleaner.
Use a leather conditioner every three months to keep leather supple and prevent it from drying out.
Glass
Use mild detergent and water followed by a glass cleaner with a micro fiber cloth.
Get ready to rid your home of dust with a HEALTHY spring cleaning!

Fitting Furniture
Before you buy furniture you always have make sure it’s going to fit your space, and that you’ll be able to get it through the house. For example, if you are buying a sofa for your living room, make sure to measure your front door of the house so you can determine if the sofa will fit through the door. You also should measure the space between any walls and hallways you’ll be passing through, before going to your living room, so you won’t have any unexpected problems. Lastly, measure the room you’re furnishing from wall to wall so you can get an accurate estimation of what you can put where. For Example, in a family or living room, the TV and sofa need to be a calculated distance apart in order to get the maximum quality of use. If you measure you’re space before hand, you will know what size sofa to get, how big of a TV the room can handle and how you want to everything to be placed.
For more information on how to measure furniture to fit your home, check out our measuring guide here.
