Hello, lovely readers! It’s my pleasure to feature this guest post from Real Life Home.

We’ve been living with the effects of COVID for more than 18 months now, and in many parts of the world, lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, and work-from-home advice remain the norm. If you’re spending a lot of time at home, it’s natural to want to renovate your living space to make it healthier and more comfortable.

Before anything else, make sure to explore and subscribe to unsettled essence for more ways to live your best life.

Is Clutter Getting You Down?

If you’ve found yourself feeling stressed, unproductive, or stuck in a funk over the course of the pandemic, it could be your living environment that’s getting you down.

Is your home full of clutter? Are you working remotely out of a cramped, disorganized spare room? Clutter can contribute to stress and make us feel anxious. Many people find living and working in a cluttered environment can hamper productivity while simultaneously making it difficult to “switch off.” A day or two of spring cleaning could make a huge difference to your mental well-being.

Get a Breath of Fresh Air

Air conditioning is so common these days that we often forget about the free fresh air available outside our windows. If you struggle to get a good night’s sleep or feel stuffy and tired during the day, open a window. Fresh air can help you sleep better and improve your overall well-being by getting rid of the pollutants in your home.

Renovations Could Boost the Value of Your Home

If you’re considering selling your home in the next couple of years, investing in renovations that work, whether that’s new kitchen countertops, upgrading a bathroom to be a wet room, or having your gutters cleaned and landscape gardening revamped, will pay off. Be sure to document the appearance both before and after having the work done.

Some jobs will require the assistance of a professional contractor. Any jobs that include electrical wiring or utility hookups should be handled by someone who’s certified for those jobs and properly licensed, bonded, and insured.

If you’re on a budget, or just have spare time and like being hands-on, there are numerous jobs that are DIY-friendly, such as:

• Fixing small issues such as leaky taps or squeaky doors
• Repainting your doors and window frames
• Power-washing your home’s siding
• Cleaning and regrouting tiles
• Landscape gardening

These may seem like small things, but they’ll make a difference in how your home looks and feels for yourself and any prospective buyers.

When the exterior of your property is clean, tidy, and well-presented, coming home is that little bit more enjoyable. An attractive garden is a nice place to spend some time and clear your head when you’re stressed. The pandemic may have stripped our ability to travel further afield, but it hasn’t stopped us from making our own quiet green spaces to escape to.

You Shape Your Own Space

Think about what matters to you and what’s getting you down these days. If you’re struggling with too little space, too much clutter, or even things simply being tired and worn, that’s all fixable. The effort you invest in revamping your home will pay off many times over in the form of increased well-being.
