We live in Urban spaces which translates into Pigeon Holes for rooms, competing needs, hurried days!
We still need to make style statements with the choices we make while doing up our homes.
Here are a mix of ways, we put up a home that is at once livable and elicits a "Wow" and extra enquiries as to,
"How do you do it?"
"Where can we get the same? "
1. A Green space
We live a busy lifestyle and so we need a green space in the house to De-stress and Relax. No matter, how less the space in your house is, create a Garden of fresh plants. Vertical gardening is an option. You do not need to spend a bomb. Make a shelf with Bamboo sticks. It will be easy on your pocket and give an earthy, forest like look to your Garden space.
A Cane Swing if the space allows it is all you need to sip your Green Tea and Mull over the Days events.
2. Earthen Cookware
Being exposed to pollution and junk food, eating Healthy is definitely a must. Cooking in Earthen cookware, retains all the micro nutrients of your food. Other than making a Style statement, you would also be making a Health statement.
3. Let go of Clutter
We had a sofa set, dining table and TV unit taking up all the space in the living room. What we needed was a tough decision to sell it off and go minimalist. A foldable Sofa that can be a Sofa, a divan when needed and sleepover bed. So easy to move around that it frees up the floor space giving enough walking and cleaning space.
4. Foldable Utilities
A small house needs foldable utilities which should serve the needs and yet be put away when not in use. Foldable Clothes Rack. The Balcony is supposed to be an aesthetic spot from where one gets a peek of the inside world as well as from where you can get a relaxed spot to sit and unwind. It should not be a forced go to place to hang your personal knick knacks for all to see.
A Foldable writing desk, one can take to bed for completing assignments and put away when not in use.
5. Invest in Air Fresheners
Burning Incenses and Aroma oils have been great ways to enliven the living space. Somehow they are relegated to religious rituals or special times.
We deal with unhealthy, unpleasant odours that emanate from various places in our pigeon hole houses and we need instant solutions. We are hardly likely to take our incense sticks to Washrooms where a certain smell makes our nose wrinkle between uses. Especially on a Day when guests use it once too often. At times, dirty laundry or unwashed dishes piling up would send a stench that is enough to give you a Headache.
It becomes well nigh impossible to work your way through that muck without feeling a little ill and resentful. Many an argument ensues as to whose job it is to mend the dirty pile or who is the cause!
The top servant visits once a day but stench seems to be a permanent companion. My Go to Air Freshener has been #AmbiPur. It helps me #SkipTheSmell in moments. It has now several fragrances to choose from. It is new and improved. A discreet spray between uses makes the washroom visitable so to speak.
On hurried days, when unwashed pile of clothes or dishes have to be left back, I spray the Citrus #AmbiPur. I do come back to a Sensible house and it lets me work through the mess with one less foe to conquer.
What is more, I carry the Spray in my Bag to wherever I visit. It helps me deal with few unpleasant visits to...well less said the better.
My younger 11 year old is a fan of #AmbiPur who realised its worth after the crowded Ganesha festivities at home. He took up charge to go and spray it whenever his sensibilities guided him. (It is safe for it is non inflammable)
He quipped happily "Mom our Washroom smelled heavenly even after so many used it, even after our washing machine had a two day pile of unwashed clothes! I do not need to fear my bad stomach days. I have a friend who will hide my secret! It saved the weekend, don't you think?! " All I could do is smile back in Affirmation as he sprayed it around the Shoe rack and Dustbin corner.
After cleaning the house, post mopping, a spray and a whiff goes a long way in improving the quality of space in which you can sink into and read a book or watch your favorite show.
A pre-shower whiff can enrich the whole clean up Experience one embarks on. The express purpose will not be met if you were to step off the shower into a ghastly smell or even gingerly fading one. Along with your shampoo and bathing routine, AmbiPur can heighten the senses to another level.
With #AmbiPur with us, we need not wrinkle noses. We can conquer the foe called Stench and wink right back with freshness pervading gently around you in seconds.
#SkipTheSmell Go for #AmbiPur 's breathtaking new and improved range of Air Fresheners.
