If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then the living room must surely be its soul: It is where the family congregates to bond with one another. Household occupants talk, play, work, partake in joint activities, and rest in the living room. And when visitors do drop by, they are often hosted in the living room. It is a shared space that facilitates a lot of activities and it is also a haven for familial growth.

Ways to stretch your dollar by choosing the right fabric, design, and style for your new curtains We live in unprecedented times: An ongoing pandemic has turned some ordinary tasks into potentially hazardous activities. Going to the dry cleaners, for instance. Grocery shopping, going to the gym, and having lunch with friends — these are all of the things that we can’t do without necessary precautions or, in some cases, without breaking the law. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to simplify our lives right now. Learning how to do more with less is the mantra of the time. Still, as more people are spending a lot more time at home these days, giving your living spaces a facelift may be a decision that serves both practical and aesthetic needs. However, not all home improvement tasks are made equal. Some, such as renovation works involving fixtures, flooring, tile works, and so on, are huge endeavours that involve a fair bit of money, time, and exposure to contractors at home. So, it may not be an entirely good idea to undertake such projects at this time.

Elevate your home and accentuate your stay-at-home lifestyle with these fashionable choices for curtains As more people are housebound these days, the home has become an even greater sanctuary for the entire family. For one, it is doubling up as offices for people who have to work from home or nurseries and classrooms for children who are learning remotely. And, in some cases, it has even become an experimental space for those who are learning new skills or picking up new hobbies. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that many people are looking for ways to refresh the look or functionality of spaces in their homes. According to The Wall Street Journal, the pandemic has driven people to desperation for home improvements now that they are forced to spend so much time at home.

Window dressing ideas to match your culinary exploits in the kitchen Although it is widely accepted that windows are one of the most important architectural elements of any living space, there are some that are more frequently neglected than others. When most people think of window treatments, spaces such as the bedroom and living room are usually prioritised. Curtains for kitchen windows are usually an afterthought and comes after the appliances, fixtures, and furnishings have been fretted over and installed. This may result from the perceived utility of a kitchen in modern lifestyles. Surveys — carried out by Kitchen Stories in the US and Kenwood in the UK — show that the average modern adult spends approximately an hour or less in the kitchen on a daily basis.
