I like simple. I don’t like clutter. Here is my list of things I think you should have in every room of your home along with a few room decoration rules that I try to follow.
Rules:
- Make it cute, but functional
- Have a focal point
- Hide the icky, the extra and the sticky (meaning messy)
- Carry through color
- Make it you, let your personality show
- Always have extra… but don’t let it perplex ya (I know, I’m a dork)
- Large trashcan on each floor
- One “donate” container on each floor
- One portable cleaning bucket/station
In every room you should have:
- Plants or fresh flowers (or you can settle for fake flowers)
- Special memory
- Book
- Clock
- Candle
Entry way / mud room
- Keep most worn shoes and coats in a warm room no matter what
Living Room (where your main TV is located)
- Adjustable lighting options (twinkly romantic lights, blinds to open, floor lamp and ceiling light)
Bedrooms
- Sheet sets that match (then get rid of all the other random sheets)
- Nice matching hangers
- Blanket boxes/bins
Bathrooms
- White towels
- White shower curtain
Storage
- Family yearbook
- Matching waterproof containers with easy to read labels
