In the winter, your living room gets a lot more use as we tend to spend more time indoors and prefer to snuggle up and keep warm. This of course means that many of us like to make the room a more pleasant place to spend time, and if you have neglected it a bit over the summer, now is the time to get your living room ready to spend time over the winter.
Decluttering is a good thing to do before Christmas, especially if you have children, as things can easily build up and storage then becomes a bit of a problem. Go around the room and the rest of the home and get rid of anything that is no longer wanted or used, or they have grown out of. Items that are in good condition can be given to charity or you could sell them if you want to get a bit of cash before Christmas.
Once you have got rid of the things that you don’t want, you can then focus on the décor of the room. You might want to consider rearranging it to make the layout better or think about ways that you can improve it with home furnishings. Curtains are important in the winter, and as well as giving you privacy in your home they also keep the heat in – go to somewhere like this curtain makers London based company www.theboyswhosew.co.uk if you want to have some curtains tailor made to your window.
