Creating a happy home space that’s relaxing, warm, welcoming and packed with personality is no tall order. And yet happy homes all seem to have certain things in common. Here they are…
1. A pet
Doesn’t matter if you’re a cat person or a dog person, an animal about the house is proven to alleviate loneliness and depression, keep you fit and teach the kids valuable lessons about responsibility. It’s important to have something else around that breathes just to give you a sense of your place in the world. They’re cheap to run and generally a load of fun. And if you can’t be doing with the messy paw prints, or the fur that’s shed all over the cushions, get a fish.
2. Interesting sofa
This is your home, not a doctor’s waiting room. So forget all that high-end, sharp angled seating. It may look swish in the showroom but homes are for downtime, putting feet up, recharging batteries. A warm squishy number quite literally gives you a cuddle at the end of a hard day. Chose white or cream by all means (provided you’re not a red wine drinker, or prone to klutziness), but stint on the all-important squish factor and a quiet night with your feet up can all too easily turn into a stiff day at the office.
