Don’t do these strange but common things that cheapen your home’s appearance.
How Ceiling Fan Dust Can Make Your Home Look Dirty
How often do you dust your ceiling fan? It’s important to keep your fan dust-free to reduce the amount of dust in your home. Imagine this. If your fan is full of dust and spinning around, the dust is spreading around, too. And a dusty fan that’s not in use doesn’t look good either. So grab a long-handled duster or even a dry duster and remember to dust your ceiling fans.
How Hair Can Block Your Drains
This is particularly true for your shower drain. A drain blocked with hair is not only unsightly but also unpleasant to shower with standing water. This is strange but common and can be easily fixed with a hair drain catcher. It’s simple enough to remove your hair after each shower, which would also avoid a blocked shower. Either way, clear that hair out so you can fully enjoy your shower.
The Problem of Too Many Shoes in Your Entryway
Shoes are essential for everyone, but many of us have too many of them, and if you experience four seasons, you really do need a variety of footwear. But where do you keep all these shoes? If you’re stacking them on a mat, your entryway is probably cluttered with shoes everywhere. To avoid this, a tiered shelf can be very helpful. If you want to completely conceal it, those leather type benches are ideal and can also serve as a place to sit as you put your shoes on.
The Problem of Dirty and Damaged Walls
It’s peculiar but common because we all have them, honestly. Wiping your walls at least once a year will make them look neater than ever. Spot cleaning sometimes can also help, especially around things like light sockets, doors and the whole kitchen. For genuine stains, you can use any brand of the magic eraser type sponges.
How to Coordinate Your Bathroom Towels
Make sure the towels hanging in your bathroom are all the same color. If not the same color, at least make them all coordinate with your bathroom decor. The idea is to keep your wild prints and beach towels in the closet for use and keep the matching towels in the bathroom to maintain a polished look.
The Problem of Dark and Heavy Window Treatments
We understand, they block the sun and the temperatures. They look dark and heavy though and feel that way, too. Choose light and airy linen curtains. If you have to keep the dark ones, at least draw them to either side and put a lighter and transparent color in the middle section. This way you can close them when you need to but have the option for natural light as well.
The Problem of Fake Flowers in Your Home
It’s strange but common to have fake flowers instead of real ones. But if it’s fake, it probably makes you look cheap, too. Real plants can be pretty easy and here are a few you should try. Succulents are easy because they don’t need much water. These are the plants that all the memes are about, to never water, never water, never water, never water and then when you water, they die. Succulents are fine by themselves and need a little water, very seldom. Other easy plants include pothos, snake plants and ZZ plants. Bring a plant home and see how it goes, you won’t know until you try.
