Everyone\’s home is a safe space and a place to return to when you come home tired from work. Home should be used primarily for rest and to meet with friends with whom one can have long discussions that never end at home. But for some, the word home is something else. It has little to do with a place that should have some distinctive element. But it is tied to emotions. Think, for example, of each of the emotions that time spent with your grandparents at the cottage on holiday evokes in you. Certainly it was not a home filled with material things for you, but a home filled with love, respect, and mutual esteem.

And when you think about it, it is surely not things but feelings that stand out in your mind. And that is exactly what you associate with the word home. So, back to “things. There are things and ideas that can literally help you make your home the home you want it to be. And where to start? I highly recommend creating a cozy atmosphere in your apartment that makes a friendly impression. That way, everyone will want to come back. It is not very pleasant to come to a bleak apartment with little detail and a rather cold impression. On the contrary, adding an old shine to old furniture, for example, is very impressive. For example, a coat of white paint. This immediately brightens up the entire interior and makes it visually more spacious. And old, damaged furniture can be seen from a new angle. And you won\’t have to get rid of it and buy expensive new furniture.

Also, if you are keeping your grandmother\’s or great-grandmother\’s old furniture, it is time to get it out. And don\’t leave it in a corner where no one will look at it. For example, combine it somewhere in your bathroom. It will give it a unique, upscale look. And you will recall that in the old days, living room furniture used to be placed flush against a wall, with the living room wall on the other side. Today, however, the story is different. Sofas should no longer be placed against the wall, but slightly away from it. And they should be in the space as much as possible. To ensure as much privacy and coziness as possible. And the space behind the sofa can be used for shelves or bookshelves. In any case, no amount of living room space is ever enough.
