Depending on where you live, you\u2019ve probably had to deal with some sort of stay-at-home order as a result of the pandemic. In many other urban spaces across the world, the lockdown has forced many of us into spaces that can be quite small.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s tough to realize just how much space we truly have until we\u2019re confined within it. If you\u2019ve felt stuck, stir crazy, or sluggish, you\u2019re certainly not alone! Freshening up your place can make it feel cleaner, spacious, and much more livable! Looking to start? We\u2019ve got a few tips for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/test.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr_6b635541-1957-4eaf-9a90-2ebf34edbf47_432321_5_elsie_userview_4-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr_6b635541-1957-4eaf-9a90-2ebf34edbf47_432321_5_elsie_userview_4-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/test.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr_6b635541-1957-4eaf-9a90-2ebf34edbf47_432321_5_elsie_userview_4-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/test.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr_6b635541-1957-4eaf-9a90-2ebf34edbf47_432321_5_elsie_userview_4-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr_6b635541-1957-4eaf-9a90-2ebf34edbf47_432321_5_elsie_userview_4-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, Declutter!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clutter is the silent killer; it sneaks up slowly, and it\u2019s everywhere before you even realize. Try going room-by-room, surface-by-surface to get rid of junk and rid your house of things you don\u2019t need. You may even find something you\u2019ve lost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add Some Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greenery can make any space, indoor or outdoor, feel more lush, comfortable, and welcoming. Whether you like window-side succulents or ivy growing from the cracks in the brick wall, adding plants to your abode brings life into your space! If you\u2019re a pet owner, make sure to only purchase plants that are safe for animals, and to water them often!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add a Candle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decorating a home is a task for the eye; creating a\u00a0<em>warm aroma<\/em>\u00a0that greets your guests with a hug and pulls them into your home is a task for the nose. A candle (or two) can provide depth to the experience of being in your space and give you a way to express your personality and taste. Try and buy paraben-free candles; cutting out preservatives is healthier for breathing in over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things have been\u00a0strange\u00a0over the past few months.
