Buying a new home and getting the deal tied up in a timely manner is one of the most stressful, but exciting experiences you can go through!
Once you’ve begun to settle down and make plans for your new sanctuary, you will be met with endless possibilities for how you can customize your space and really make it your own. So where do you start?
We recommend starting with your bedroom! You’ll likely spend the majority of the hours you are at home in your room, either sleeping or finding some solace from the outside world. So it’s key that you kit out your bedroom with lighting, furniture and accessories that promote restful sleep and a relaxing ambience.
MUST HAVES: A comfortable bed is always important. Plentiful storage is useful but should also be beautiful. Layered lighting allows you to taper down the amount of light you will be exposed to as time get closer to drifting off into la la land.
Next, it only makes sense to focus on perhaps the highest traffic room, which for many of us will be the dining room or Lounge! The place where kids will play and do their homework, while Mum, Dad, Aunties, Uncles, neighbors and friends will come to indulge in quality time with loved ones over good food and better wine. When picking our furniture for your dining or lounge space, keep in mind function as much as design, and consider materials that are well-known for standing up to daily use.

MUST HAVES: The dining table will be the focus of the room, be practical with your choice of size and style. Same rules go for chairs. Overhead pendant or chandelier lighting will give you the ideal illumination.
Finally, working from home has become the new norm for millions across the UK. It has plenty of perks including non-existent commutes and being able to sport your favourite loungewear, but it isn’t much fun when your home office feels like a cramped corner. Create a dedicated workspace that promotes productivity and contentment if you want to find yourself falling in love with your home all hours of the day.

MUST HAVES: Your desk sets the tone so choose one that gives you everything you need to get stuff done. A desk chair shouldn’t be an after though so pair colours and contrasts with your workspace.
