Buying a house, renting a house or inheriting a house, mark the personal history of each one, which is then built with what we do with each space and object, because after all, the houses tell a little of the story of our lives.
The way we decorate, how we organize our home, seems very banal, but it really has a great impact on the dynamics and quality of family and friendship relationships, and can even be impactful on our mental and physical health.
The "fever" of having everything organized and decorated as in a magazine is a reality, and it does not have to be an impossible task, which will require very demanding domestic responsibilities, not least because, with the current pace of life of families, people feel the need for a home where they create unforgettable Memories (Homemories).
Houses have to take into account two primary factors:
Realism - what house we live in, how many rooms it has, where it is located;
Needs – whether we work at home or away, rest and study times.
The millimetrically arranged shelves, labeled jars, pants, shirts and coats ordered by colors, socks and t-shirts folded efficiently, pots and pans in the right place, and a pantry worthy of a magazine cover, is something that brings us a sense of peace and general well-being. We seek to feel with the organization of the ideal space, what we also want to feel in our life, peace, serenity, tranquility, organization and control.
Having things in order gives most people a sense of tranquility, which allows them to get organized and use this as a starting point for more complex tasks. On the other hand, for some people, this gives them a sense of control over their lives and helps eliminate anxiety-generating feelings and thoughts.
It is a task where we have control, where we can execute and have immediate results. It gives us the feeling of accomplishment, of tranquility and that we are effective. These feelings tend to bring us positive emotions or a sense of well-being that we often crave.
The priorities of each one differ, and there is no linear answer to this point, the investment in ourselves is associated with factors such as, self-esteem and self-image. However, the need to live in an organized environment is a priority for many people, it is important to have a balance so that there is no neglect of important areas, such as our self-care (doing leisure activities, being with people we like, exercise and balanced diet) or the care of the space where we live.
Organized homes allow us to have more productive and functional routines, allow us to be in peace, harmony, gain time, space, money and availability for the most important, LIVING.
We have to start by uncomplicating and simplifying, removing from home what we have not used for years, and creating the environment with comfort, creating routines, making that small gesture, which we already do so naturally, that it is no longer an obligation, it leaves us with fluidity and without any mandatory load.
Houses are not happy, we are the ones who make homes happy!!
Where Memories and Home come together in one place!!
