Making the Best of Your Time At Home with These Simple Home Decor Ideas

It has been a year since this pandemic started and 8 full months since most of us have been confined to the walls of our home. Whether going out with friends or family for a meal or taking the kids to the park or even celebrating special occasions at our favourite places – everything has come to a halt in this time. And honestly, none of us know when it is going to end too. So does it mean we give up on all of the things that make us happy? I say, no. 

Since Home is the place we now spend most of our time at, we decided to break the monotony and come up with ideas that make our home an even happier place. And creating cute little corners using existing things at home was definitely one of them. Whether it is anniversary or birthday or even weekend date evenings – we have used simple home decors to make the best of this time at home. And let me tell you, the experience has been so great and fulfilling that now it has become a part of our life. 

So here are a few tips and pictures to help you have a great time at home with some do it yourself modest home decors.

Things you need to create these decorative corners

It could be very overwhelming when you look at the home decor items in a shop or on any of the sites online. Even though you may feel tempted to buy a lot of things, we recommend not to hoard items at home unless very necessary. As I said before, you can create beautiful spaces at home with very minimal items and many of those could be your regular use things. Here are a few items that could help you transform the corners of your home.

For floor seating arrangements – a mattress (single preferable) and bed sheet (you can use your regular bed sheets) or a Rug, few cushions of different sizes (again your regular sofa cushions will do). 

A couple of cushion covers of different colours that you can use interchangeably

Fairy Lights (a must) for evening setups

Few Decorative Items such as dream catchers, wall hangings etc (You can always use the ones that you already have)

Scented candles (optional)

A serving tray or board for keeping the food or drinks (Again use the ones you already have)
House plants (optional) if you have any

Home decor ideas for weekend date evenings 

If you know us for some time, then you may already know that both of us love going on dates and spending time with each other. So here are a few setups we did at home for our weekend date evenings. 

Date evenings definitely demand romantic and cosy setups. And the key deciding factors in this are the lights and the colours used. Use minimal light (smart bulbs could help you achieve this) and throw in some fairy lights to add that dreamy feeling. Another important thing is colour – the right use of colour always brings in that extra charm to the setup. So try using a colourful bed sheet with some cushions (and a throw if available) that provide the much needed contrast. Vibrant decorative items such as a dream catcher are also perfect add-ons. Add some scented candles and light music and voila! Your date decor is ready. Read More…..
