In spring nature comes back to life, and so do we! This year, due to the lockdown, we have to come up with creative ways to channel our surplus energy while staying indoors. The situation has a silver lining – there has never been a better time to make changes to your décor than now! Check out our tips for transforming your house and don’t be surprised if you won’t feel like going out ever again!
A really well-made rug can be as beautiful as a work of art. From Turkish to kilim to the famous Moroccan Beni Ourains – any rug can become a decoration of your interior (not just the floor!). If you have a rug that’s just too beautiful to walk on, putting it on the wall is a great alternative. Hanging the carpet not only covers an empty space on the wall but can also provide additional insulation and even help muffle the sound from the outside.

“For 2020 we’re turning our design attention to the fifth wall, aka ceilings.” explains Modsy VP of Style Alessandra Wood. “Keep an eye out (or up) for painted, wallpapered, and even fabric tented ceiling designs.”

Statement ceilings were popular in 2018, and now everything indicates they are about to make a comeback. Pinterest’s hit is a ceiling with a cloud design wallpaper on it!
Taking care of your well-being is extremely important, especially during this difficult time of isolation. Wood suggest it’s worth creating a special place to clear your head. “Carve out a spot where you can practice yoga or meditate,” she says, adding that this is possible even in the smallest spaces.

“Move a few pieces of furniture if you have to, but identify a place where you can easily unroll your yoga mat. You might hit the wall or another piece of furniture once or twice during your practice, but at least you have that dedicated space.”

Home Retreat

During quarantine, we feel the need to travel and relax somewhere far away from home more than ever. Until this is possible, try to introduce the atmosphere of a holiday resort into your abode. How about a sunroom filled with coastal style accessories? Ceramic bells hung from the ceiling, a rattan armchair, chandelier with shell elements and lots of plants – a couple of simple tricks and your home retreat is ready!
How much time has it been since you invested in a new set of kitchen utensils? If your pots and pans are a bit worn, you have the perfect excuse to buy new ones. In kitchen trends, the rustic style is still in the lead – wooden chopping boards, a copper kettle or retro tea cans are functional and beautiful items for kitchen metamorphosis.
