10 Tips for those who do not want to choose between comfort and practicality.
You probably have repeatedly heard about the concept of "Hyugge", which donated the world Danes. In a broad sense, this word means the ability to be happy, paying attention to the simplest and small joy of life. But this philosophy is far from the only key to peace, happiness and comfort: the alternative concept is offered to the Swedes, and it is called "Lag".
In Russian, this word can be translated as "moderation", and understand it in the broadest sense. The Swedish people are confident: it is sufficiency that end up making us happy. Practical, right?
We decided to understand how Swedish philosophy can help in the interior arrancy case, and prepared a small step-by-step instruction for you. If everything is done correctly, you can let in the space harmony and get that the most sensation of comfort, which so want to experience, returning home.
1 Get rid of all too much
A simple and understandable advice, which is often difficult to fulfill. The snag is usually in understanding what exactly is considered excess.Need to throw:
- Souvenirs, figurines, nephonic decor, which does not bring any aesthetic satisfaction, nor pleasant emotions).
- Paper garbage (receipts, warranty coupons, checks, in which there is no longer need or that is easier to digitize - and store in electronic form).
- Clothing that you have not worn for several years and is unlikely to ever wear (as well as shoes, accessories, decorations, etc.).
- Old newspapers and magazines that you will never re-read.
- Furniture, home accessories and other items that occupy a place without real necessity (exercise bike, used as a clothes hanger; a bulky chest of drawers, most of the contents of which can be safely sent to a landfill, etc.).
- Textiles "About the stock", in fact, you will never enjoy.
- Casting indoor plants, which you do not have any strength or time, no desire.
- Books that you do not consider worthy home library.
- Small household appliances that dust in the closet.
- Sportsman that you will never take advantage of.
In a word, everything that you may have a sorry to throw out, but it is determined there is no place in your life (and an apartment). By the way, it is not necessary to throw out what you do not need: you can sell, give acquaintances or give a gift for pickup.
What seems impracticable? Then here are two tips:
- Remove once a week from each room one subject.
- Having bought one new thing, get rid of two old.
2 Leave a little air in the apartment
Getting rid of unnecessary furniture and accessories, do not seek to fill the empty places: arrange the furniture so that there remains free, unloctered space.
3 Do not buy unnecessary
In the continuation of the previous items: do not buy what you already have (for example, a hundredth bath for the bathroom). And do not buy what is not particular need (perhaps it is worth the wardrobe instead of buying another cabinet?).
4 Hang Personalized Wall Decor
Who said that the same type posters from mass market shops are better than retro-paintings, family photos or hand-made wall decor? Personalized decor, giving positive emotions - much more lag than meaningless decoration.
5 Zonail space
Laga assumes moderation in everything, including the functional load on the room. That is why the Swedes are the masters in zoning.
6 Light
As you already, probably guessed, the lighting should also be sufficient too. Use the maximum solar light and provide various light scripts to correct the lighting level of the interior.
7 Do not let the whip accumulate
Take free surfaces with stylish installations, lamps, home plants: otherwise they will become points of collection of all sorts of trifles. And it will not be completely lag.
8 Think about the menu for a week
It will save a place in the refrigerator and will save from unnecessary products.
9 Use available
Old furniture lost sight? Instead of buying a new one, you can upgrade already available. Reasonable consumption is an important part of the philosophy of the lag.
10 Let's subject the second life
Continuing the previous paragraph: reasonable consumption can manifest itself in recycling. Give your subjects to the second life: so you will save a place, money, and also - get a unique design subject of handmade.
