I’m going to tell you what happened to me …
Sunday afternoon, my husband and I returning from spending the weekend in town. We enter the house and say hello, no one returns the “Hello. Is there someone?”. We go to my oldest daughter’s room, knock on the door, and go inside. We see Cristina and Pablo (the girl’s boyfriend). “We have to talk to you. Pablo and I are going to live together ”. The girl lets go of us without warning.
I had to sit down from the scare that I got. My girl was leaving home! I tried to recover from the shock by commenting, “How do you think of doing this to me, my daughter?” Do not believe that my Cristina helped me overcome the trauma, quite the opposite. “Mom, do you have to help me decorate my new house?” It was what he answered me; As a psychologist my daughter is priceless.
I wiped away my tears, left the room, prepared a lime blossom, took paper and a pen, and set about decorating my daughter’s house. Take good note of the ideas that I propose in case your daughters also decide to leave home.
When decorating a house, the first thing we have to take into account are the rooms that we are going to set; It is not the same to do it in a bedroom than in a kitchen. Knowing the rooms that our home is going to have, it is the right time to plan its decoration. You can always rely on great decoration and interior design professionals that exist on the internet such as gaulan.es
The living room . In my opinion, it is the most important place in the house and where we spend the most time, so it is the room to which we must pay the most attention. What do I prefer to decorate my living room? Undoubtedly, wallpaper for walls has always seemed like a great idea for my home, especially because it offers a multitude of possibilities: flowers, bricks, phrases, vintage, striped…. I love wallpaper for its elegance and ease of installation. In addition to the living room, you can place it in other places in your home; it will look great on anyone and will never tarnish. In the event that you are not convinced by paper, you can also decide on paint, wood, minimalist style …
Bedrooms. From the youngest to the smallest, the normal thing is that we all have our room. Being our most personal habitat, we must let each one decorate it according to their tastes and personality. Feel free to ask each person how they want their room to be decorated. Do not be afraid, as the variety is really wide. To decorate the rooms you can use from vinyls for the youngest to traditional and classic furniture for the older ones.
The kitchen. The most practical place in the whole house, it has to be potentially useful and where you can move and move easily and quickly. The kitchen has to be versatile and have everything always at hand, for this do not hesitate to dress it with the accessories and furniture that you really need, do not fill it with useless and useless things. When you discover how comfortable and easy it is to be in your kitchen, the more time you want to spend in it. If you have a large kitchen, do not hesitate to take advantage of it to create two environments: kitchen and as an office for a place to be with the family.
The hall or entrance. Believe it or not, it is one of the most important places in our home. I have visited many houses in which the entrance is empty, cold, bland, lifeless … We do not give importance to it when it is the first image we offer of our home. Use a discreet and elegant piece of furniture to welcome whoever comes to visit you, take advantage of the walls to hang family photos, another good option is an old and worn-out style mirror, the small keychain furniture that our mothers or grandmothers had and another A good idea is to hand-paint a famous phrase that inspires you. Give life to the hall of your house! You will see how it surprises the people who come to your house.
Bathroom. It has to be, along with the rooms, the most intimate place in the whole house. We always make the big mistake that we always go to the bathroom in a hurry and urgently. The bathroom can be a very pleasant place where we can relax and enjoy it calmly. Decorate it with interest, providing the room with photos, ceramics in pastel and soft tones, always having the electrical appliances that we will need at hand. Other good ideas are to install a heater, a towel warmer and we can even take advantage of the space that the bathroom offers us to install a shoe rack behind the door.
The terrace. We must not forget that it is the room where the inclement weather is most noticeable, the four seasons truly inhabit it. The terrace is not used in the same way in summer as in winter, for example, therefore you cannot decorate it in the same way at one time as at the other. For summer, you can take advantage of it to sunbathe, so a good idea is to have spacious and comfortable hammocks, or some chairs and a table to have coffee, a soft drink or a frozen mojito. So that the sun does not bother us, install translucent blinds or tinted windows or awnings and umbrellas. For the winter what I advise you is that you have the terrace well insulated from the rest of the house, in this way we will be very warm and we will save good money.
I think that with all these ideas my daughter will be able to decorate her house in a practical and elegant way. Now I will have to start making meals because I’m sure I have them at home prepared with the tupperware every day.
