5 easy tips to de-clutter your home

You’ve just moved into your new home and everything’s looking great, except the mounds of stuff you thought you’d have room for, now beginning to pile up in your closet. Where do you put it all? Here are our 5 easy tips for de-cluttering your home.

Schedule a de-cluttering weekend

Working all day leaves little time or motivation to start tidying the house. So to avoid putting this annoying task off a minute longer, schedule a date in your diary. And if you can, get family and friends involved too. The more hands, the easier the work.

Organize first, buy second

The worst thing you can do is to go out and buy a ton of storage boxes before deciding what’s staying and what you are throwing out. Once everything has been sorted through, buy a few containers, and if that’s not enough, you can buy more. Otherwise, those empty containers will take up the space you wanted to make in the first place.

Give away one item each day

It’s always hard throwing out things you have become accustomed to over the years, but giving away things gradually, whether it be to family, friends, or thrift stores, makes the process that much easier.

Fill one trash bag

If you want a tidy, spacious home, you’re going to have to be ruthless. The easiest method is to grab a large trash bag and see how quickly you can fill it. It’s a great de-cluttering trick and the best place to start.

Three-year rule

Sure, those old roller skates may come in handy for the future, but when is the last time you picked them up and dusted them off? A good rule for de-cluttering your home is: ‘If you haven’t used it in three years, chuck it’. Whether it’s clothing, kitchen gadgetry, gardening tools. If you’re not using it regularly, it isn’t worthy of your space.

Don’t know where to start? How about the bathroom? Check out our great range of storage accessories on our website.

4 ways to ‘hotel-ify’ your bathroom

Whether you’ve installed a new shower, new flooring or tiling, if you’re giving your bathroom the makeover it deserves, why stop there? To really give your space that ‘wow’ factor, we’ve put together a few tips.

Comfort and warmth

Nothing says hotel comfort quite like a white fluffy towel. Invest in an Electric Towel Warmer to keep you warm from the moment you step out of the shower. And don’t forget to leave your oversize robe and slippers within reach.

Clear surfaces and no clutter

Your bathroom should be a place for rest and relaxation, so in the case of clutter, it’s better out of sight, out of mind. Think about installing hidden storage and cabinets where possible, and purchase glass jars or colorful pots for items like cotton buds and pads.

Scents to set the mood

If you choose to put flowers in your bathroom, place two or three stems in a small vase. It’s important not to go overboard and remember that clutter will add stress to a room. Alternatively, you can opt for scented oils such as rosemary and lavender, which are said to have calming qualities.

Calm and relaxation

When choosing your color scheme, it’s best to stay as neutral as possible, sticking to whites and beige’s. If you’ve already decorated and you’ve gone for slightly darker or louder colors, keep bathroom accessories to a minimum. With a dark room, candles are also a nice touch.

5 Simple Ways to Make Your Bathroom Look More Luxurious

Despite being one of the main rooms of relaxation and retreat, the bathroom is often one of the least aesthetically pleasing areas of one’s home. This guide will offer you a few simple changes that can be put in place in order to give you the bathroom you’ve always dreamed of. We know you deserve to relax in your tub while enjoying the elegance of the room you created.

Make It Bright with Colors, Not Light

Instead of having dark walls and glaring lights, consider repainting your walls a light color and swapping out your blinding lights for softer hues. Many people opt for white, cream, or light blue/green shades. These give the impression of cleanliness.

Don’t Fear Plants and Paintings

Many plants thrive in the moist environment of a bathroom. Aloe vera, bamboo, and ivy will not only love the moisture of your bathroom, but you will love the look they give. Furthermore, a simple painting or piece of art will add character and give you something to admire while you soak.

Use Towels to Add Luxury

Don’t underestimate the feeling and look of a plush towel. Consider replacing grungy or mismatched towels with a fresh set. Luxury sets can be bought from outlets or discount retail stores that sell high-end sets at a reduced price. Placed elegantly on your towel rack, they will be awaiting you as you step out of the tub.

When in Doubt, KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid)

One of the major issues of bathrooms is clutter. Put away makeup, creams, clippers, and other items that are taking up counter space and making your bathroom look messy. In order to achieve a DIY luxury bathroom, you need to minimize what is seen. This can be done by using some wicker baskets and other beautiful storage containers.

Collect Simple Jars and Items to Display

The best part of a DIY luxury bathroom is that the design need not be complex. You can use mason jars, shells, and other simple items as decoration in your bathroom. Many people find cheap and beautiful items in thrift or antique shops that add character to their shelves.

A DIY luxury bathroom doesn’t need to cost you a lot of time or energy. These few simple steps will allow you to reduce and simplify your bathroom into an elegant space you can enjoy. We hope you continue to love your bathroom for years to come!

4 Benefits of Linear Drains

Linear drains appear to be a new trend, but in fact, they have been used for many years around the world. They are experiencing a revival in recent years because of their advantages in design and usage. Here are a few reasons to fall in love with linear drains.

Aesthetics

Linear drains are a great choice for any home or commercial space because they allow you to place the drain in a location of your choice. Most linear drains are put into showers but they can also be installed in garages or other areas with drainage needs. Most linear drains are installed against the side or back walls instead of conspicuously located in the center of the space. These drains are a hit in today’s design world because they allow for a beautiful and clean appearance.

Safety

Linear drains are installed level with the floor. The lack of curbs or ledges is not only visually appealing but also safer. The walk-in and walk-out capabilities are convenient for children, people with movement disabilities, and seniors. As you age with your home, your linear drain will allow you ease of movement in years to come.

Tile Installation

Center drains require that all the sides of the floor slope towards the center so water can flow downwards. On the other hand, linear drains demand only one slope towards the location of the drain. This allows for the selection and use of larger tiles than center drains because fewer cuts to the tiles need to be made.

Simple Maintenance and Cleaning

The floors can easily be cleaned with regular floor cleaning products. The drain can also be cleaned with a simple water and soap mixture. The drain cover can be removed and wiped down when necessary. These steps require little effort and allow you to spend your valuable time on the things that truly matter. So, rest assured that a linear drain is a great option for you.
